Kioti RX7320 thoughts

[J&K]

Good to hear. I have been very happy with Mine.

We are in similar company, I just purchased myself my first Kioti RX7320 and need to learn all about it... It was a good deal but I realize that I will have to wrench on it a little bit. Congrats!!

Anyone know where to get the Service and Repair Manual? My dealership is over 3 hours and two passes away... I don't mind wrenching it myself, unless it absolutely needs a dealer.

Wouldn’t your dealer be able to get manuals for you?

They ought to be able to, but he said they're about 3 hours away. They're also not cheap.

I’m sure he has postal/courier service available….and the price is what it is….

I'm surprised, and might suggest this to Kioti... Go 180 Degrees of John Deere! Make all of the Manuals; Owner, Repair, Parts, Service open source! Embrace the owners rights to repair.

Guess what, there WILL BE a point an owner won't be able or does not want to repair their own tractor, thus supporting the dealer! The dealers needs to focus on Sales, Parts and offer Video Consulting for a fee, because again, we all know that owners are going to get so far and feel the need to "call the experts" and I would for one, pay a fee for a video chat.

I am wanting a PDF of the manual, hate paper manuals because I can't be under the machine looking up at something, holding a manual looking upward.

Anyway, I know I can find them on eBay but just thought someone, as the different post was offer as a link that didn't work, might have them.

Agree, from my own point of view, skills and desire to problem solve and find solutions.

There has been a long history of vehicle/equipment manufactures 'building in' the limited ability for non-certified techs to work on the equipment. This goes beyond limiting manuals to creating specialized tool, that can only be purchased from the manufacturer, to computer programming that makes off-brand equipment un-useable, to replacement parts that must be purchased from the brand manufacturer.

Vertical integration and the creation of monopolies creates this environment where owners have limited choices for repairs.

There may be an opportunity for an 'outside' manufacturer to cater to a market segment that want to do their own service and repairs. If this was indeed the case it would also be possible for a manufacturer to build/engineer a less complex utility tractor that would be easy to service and, perhaps, not need much in the way of repairs?

Ya, no......the trend for everyone is greater engineering complexity and greater reliance on the dealership network.
