Lack of response from Kioti on loader repair program

[tractorhill]

Just curious, has anyone actually talked to their dealer about a "special" situation? Maybe work something out such as letting them know that you need a kit and then get it installed when convenient due to scheduled maintenance, delivery problems, etc. Maybe they can come out to your residence? Now, going out to an island......well.......... I know of four tractors within 8 miles of me and I think that this could be a possible alternative for the dealer to handle all of them in one trip.

I'm not going to jump on the bash KIOTI wagon. We have the other brand owners for that. It is what it is and if you need a kit, get it installed and move on. What other choice is there? Complain? There will be larger problems in life than this............good luck to all.

That what we are doing, If we have to go in one area we will try to do the kit while on road. That save me and custom money. WE could 5 or six at a time.

One major consideration before doing that is whether your vehicle will be able to tow a tractor and trailer. Unless you are moving a SCUT such as a Kubota BX series, just about any other tractor/loader/trailer combination (leaving out any implements) will weigh well over the 3500-4000lbs that a standard SUV can tow. Trailering a tractor for practical purposes requires either a pickup or a big SUV especially if you have loaded tires or intend to transport an attached implement.

Sorry I didn't mean to get any issues started about trailers . the one i borrow is a 10,000lb tandem axle. TSC does carry some 7,000lb trailers that are more than enough for a 20-30hp tractor.My tow veichles are either 3/4 or 1 ton 4x4 trucks I would not even consider my wifes cherokee.I also agree since this loader issue is a design flaw it should be a hassle free repair to the paying consumer.
talk later frenchie.

I'm not trying to complain or bash Kioti. Quite the contrary, I'm handling my own situation privately and expect to be completely satisfied when it's all said and done. I was simply stating my opinion that it's a matter of principle regarding recall work (no matter what the product) that there shouldn't be any charge to the consumer for such things.
