Kioti MECHRON 2200 ... any owners out there ?

[B52]

.

I'm really considering buying a Mechron 2200 UTV as there are some good deals 'til Sept. 30. This thing looks like a fairly stout beast with a very attractive price. I know several people with similar machines but built by other manufacturers. I do know a couple guys with Kioti tractors and they seem happy enough with their decision to buy Kioti. However, I am wondering if there are any owners here who could relate experiences with their own MECHRON 2200 (good or bad).

Just do a search of this site. There's plenty here.

I've had mine for about a month...20 hours so far. Traded in a Polaris ranger for the Kioti and could not be happier. Yes. It is loud, but its a diesel. Great suspension, not bad on fuel. Great payload and towing capacity. The Polaris did 40+ mph...but not very stable doing it... Faster than I felt comfortable going. The kioti will do 25 or so and is plenty fast enough. It is a workhorse and I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

I looked at one while I was tractor shopping. I think I will get a Side by Side in the future also. I want one for working, so the Mechron is in the running. It looks well made.

Last summer, Kioti awarded a new dealership 15 miles from my dealer. (He was not impressed). When I was looking for a sxs, I called both dealers. My first stop was the new guy. Got his best price, then called my dealer. He said, "I guarantee you buy from me". Asked me what the new guy's price was and then proceeded to beat him by $500. Got the roof, windshield, safety package, mirrors and skidplate kit for $10,150. Nearest other brand was the Polaris 900 diesel for $15,600.

I've owned mine for about a year or so. If you want to go fast or quiet, this ain't it. But if you want to go anywhere or pull down trees, its your toy. Fuel useage is excellent. Only one problem and its one of those off and on things. You start in neutral, which I'd guess releases a switch to allow for starter engagement. I would think this microswitch is spring loaded open and going to neutral depresses or engages it. Sometimes, like right this minute, in neutral, try to start and only here the soloniod click the starter won't turn. This happend once before an all kinds of push pulling on all plugs and switches finally started. This time it hasn't. Anyone seen this and has an answer.?????
