New Kioti Leaking Oil.

[coobie]

I took delivery of my new CK3510 yesterday afternoon. It was pouring rain so it came off the delivery trailer and went directly in the garage. Came out this morning and this is what I find on the floor. A pool of oil. Looks like hydraulic oil. I opened the hood and the back of the engine looks as if the engine is cover in oil spray. Needless to say I am pissed. Dealer is closed today. I was so looking forward to my new tractor, now I think this tractor is a joke!

Really this tractor is a Joke? I would not be happy also but give me a break things happen now you want to blame this on kioti>You must have BIGGER issues.RELAX and call your dealer Monday ..

So “WHO“ should take the responsibility? All I did was back it 25 feet into my garage. Should I take the blame for it? It’s leaked over a quart and a half of hydraulic fluid so far this weekend. Before you analyze my issues maybe you should think about why a brand new tractor would be delivered this way. It had to be leaking before it was loaded in the trailer.

Corner Brook or St. Johns?

St. John’s. I don’t think they sell Kioti anywhere else on the island.

Still analyzing me are you. No problem. If you haven’t anything good to say, I really don’t need to hear it.

Not really could careless on analyzing you no skin in this game for me.I see in another thread you complain about hybrid tires on this tractor. Would you bitc- the same if this was a John Deere or Kubota product? You had a very minor bad experience get over it and enjoy your new tractor.

If it's on the underside, maybe the tractor was high-centered going on or coming off the trailer. Look for other damage too.

I bet the dealer will blame the Covid Times. Seems that's a catch-all for everything now days.

Not saying I don't agree, but go buy an RV and let me know how you make out, we bought our rv new in 2000, it was 45k, then. it was at the dealer 9 times in under 600 miles...

Funny. A friend of mine has a "Tiffen" I think it is called. When he first got it, the hydraulic jacks would leak down and out on the ground. Hose cut by the frame. 15,000 miles later, pop outs would not pop in, then the u joints went out, then, then , then... Another buddy is dealing with a wiring harness replacement after the exhaust melted the wire harness. It might be a total!
The leaking hydraulic oil will be a super simple fix or a tractor replacement if it is a seal that requires splitting the tractor. Not the best time for a tractor to be down. I understand the frustration but nothing man made is close to being perfect.

I would be upset too. Why does everyone think he doesn’t have a case to be upset? He just paid thousands of dollars for something he has to wait to use. Time is money
