Why won't you help Kioti?

AndyM · Jun 20, 2006

I'm going to agree with Highbeam on this one.

The title of this thread is "Why won't you help Kioti?"

I know that particular dealership is trying to help and I don't fault them for that, but in my opinion, if Kioti wants the help, they should be asking for the information, not one of the dealers.
(nothing against the dealer though, but I don't think it's their responsibility)

It's not just a Kioti thing. Hypothetically, if Chrysler was having problems with one of its models, it shouldn't be up to one dealer to do all of the leg work to investigate issues... it should be up to the company, or for the selling dealer to contact their customers and provide that information to the company.

Dodgeram and all others,
The serial number for the KL120 & KL130 is on the left bearing box (the upright that attaches the loader to the tractor)

The serial number on the 120 can be seen easily while sitting on the tractor.
The serial number on the 130 can be better seen while standing.

Tomorrow I'll post a picture of both, but for now it's 93 degrees and I'm heading for the pool

Keep cool all, see ya in the AM

How do you figure that? Telling people it's cosmetic????? That's insane>><<

Seems to me the company would send a letter to the owners asking for this information. I'm not sure what percentage of Kioti owners frequent this board, so any info gathered here wouldn't be a very accurate picture of the problem.

I would like to thank you others for your answers, though I didn't ask for opinions.

Sure you did! Take a look at the title to your own thread, it asks:

Why won't you help Kioti?

Those who don't own a Kioti KL120 or KL130 loader, why are you even posting in this discussion?

Well there are probably lots of reasons, the first is perhaps your title may have attracted some folks here. Others, perhaps just enjoy some friendly banter with friends (see the exchange between IslandTractor & myself for an example of friends chatting). Why must you have such an elitist attitude about this thread, you started it by asking for opinions and people gave them, then you said you didn't ask for them. Hmmm. But when people gave their honest opinions, which again you did ask for, you act like your undies are all in a bunch about it. And there is honest disagreement among Kioti owners as to the legitimacy of you even acting on behalf of Kioti. But then again, like I said, you did ask, sorry you didn't think through your question and got honest answers instead.

I originally thought you couldn't have enough information/knowledge on a subject, but some of you guys have certainly dispelled that thought.
I realize this will be a difficult concept to grasp for some of you, but there are owners who don't mind providing information if it helps someone (or some company) evaluate/fix a problem.
That being said, if you don't like the idea of providing the information "Don't".
Thanks Becky

Batche33,
Can't you post anything without being foul mouthed. I don't know you, but if you are that way I can't see why anyone would want to even do business with you. Very very unprofessional.

CK 25 purchased on 11/11/05 KL130 loader SN-50415014 - 4 small cracks at end of gussets. No toothbar, used to move gravel, level material on a dirt road & snow removal in winter. I would say it was used like a tracktor, not abused but not babbied.

K-130 /purchased 06/04 /Hours 270 /SN 40510036
Fairly heavy usage. Move topsoil, gravel. Dig gravel and fill from banks.
All work with toothbar except moving snow.
This loader has no cracks at this time.

Ok... did I miss somethin' here? I honestly don't know which side of the fence I am on in regard to the "should she have or should she not have" on this thread. However, I have never in this thread or anywhere else seen Becky say anything "foul mouthed." The moderators would not allow it anyway. Again, maybe I missed a post that was jerked or something, but I don't see how Becky and Foul mouthed go together. If you want foul mouthed, call my baby sister. She makes George Carlin look like a preacher.

I agree with rback33. I didn't see anything that Becky has posted being "foul mouthed" in this post or for that matter in the 1 1/2 years of my viewing this website with her posts. Maybe it was some sort of sarcasism that I for one didn't get? I hope she continues to post because it is often informative.
