Be sure to check the welds where your backhoe slides in on the rear. Mine was barely welded on and broke when I have a connex showing up and need to finish some earth work. I’ll reweld, but it’s still downtime during a time of year when the daylight is already scarce after work.
You can see there were only four poorly penetrated 7/8” welds holding the subframe bracket on. Why not fully weld the four slots on top? Still super easy to reach, even by hand…
On a separate note, I could swear that when I bought the tractor in 2020 they said it has a six year unlimited hour warranty, bumper-to-bumper, not just on the power train. Anyway, once I finish this project it’s going to the kioti dealer to get the rear locker fixed under warranty as it’s jammed. From what the mechanic told me this is a common issue.
