KIOTI OWNERS?

"Kaviet Emptor"

Sorry guys, but I've never been a big fan of fish eggs!/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Seriously, thanks for the tips. I will check this guy out to see how "legit" he is. I'd like him to be, 'cause he's about the closest I'd find. But he's going to have to meet a lot of support criteria before I'd consider buying from him. I think dealer support is just as important, if not more important, as what machine you finally decide on.

Thanks again for all the help! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Thanks for the reply ob1. I am getting used to the sound,
the hp is plenty no mater what it is. I recently added a hydraulic top link and really like the ease and versatility it added.

I'm sure you meant to say, "was the same as the better-known brand models." Correct? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am new to this board, I just purchased a Grey market Kioti which is to say it's a Daedong model L2601, which is almost identical to a LK3054, enough so that I can use the parts and service manual for most of the service that it needs. This is a '92 model with 1782 hours on the Tach, not sure of the history but this is a very well put together tractor. I would give it a 9 out 10 I do have to be carful when getting off of it, as my size 12 boots will get hung up on something. I will be using it for bush hogging and grading, and hope to get a tiller for it to use for gardening, or maybe just get a 2 bottom plow and disk. So far I have been very impressed with it while cutting the underbrush in my wood lot, which is has some steep slopes but with 4WD engaged it just walks up them no problem.

I do agree the plastic grill is a problem but I will be making a guard for the front so the I won't have to worry about busting it up when going thru the thick brush with it.

As I read through these posts, I remembered that about a year ago I lost the sight glass on my LK3054 and lost 2 gallons of transmission fluid before I figured out where the leak was coming from. Dealer put one in the mail, got it the next day, and no problems since.

LB1914 TLB. I give it a 9 out of 10 for performance and utility. Add to this the low price, and I don't think I could've done nearly as well with any other brand. I'd recommend Kioti to anyone and everyone.
