Kioti RX8030 & loader
I had my 8030 (similar to 7320 I believe) parked nose-down on a slight slope, engine running, while I attached a couple of chains to a fence post which needed pulling back into plumb. That done, engine still running, I shoveled some fill into the new void around the post in the ground, and tamped it down with a bar.

All up, around 10 minutes or so, with air con on full cool. Ambient temp was about 25C (77F).

As soon as I released the brake and started moving, a stream of water dribbled out of one of the front left overhead vents. Enough water to splash on top of the instrument cowl and down onto the floor mat where it flowed from one side to the other.

Normal?
Blocked drain?
Bad design?

Tractor is just over a hundred hours since new. I'll phone the dealer when they open up this morning, and see what they say, but just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.
