It has been said that admitting that you have a problem is the first step in correcting it would certainly appropriately apply here. Until this post, as far as I know none of us with defective loaders had officially heard that Kioti acknowledged a systemic problem or that they were researching a universal fix. We were basically left to work it out as best we could with our local dealers and hope that it held together. Now we can move forward. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
As far as Kioti accepting ideas from NOVICES, /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif the computer industry has advanced by leaps and bounds by using beta testing techniques and the adaptation of feedback from a select group of advanced users. Ultimately the same people who will be purchasing and using their products. What makes the tractor industry different? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Considering all options is a no-brainer regardless of the source. No one has tried to profiteer from Kioti but have freely put forth their ideas in a public forum and into the public domain for the benefit of all participants. This comradery and exchange of ides and knowledge is why I for one participate in this forum.
