You're right, on the Kioti site their front loader, backhoe and implements replacement warranty is just a year. My time is up for that. Probably a smart idea, cuz us Am'uricans love to use our equipment like it was two sizes bigger than what it is, lol.
I followed your "projects" link and and the
1 yard bucket fab especially caught my eye. . . And I'm loving my Kioti too, particularly the really-handy HST autoshifting for back 'n forth frontloader work. And
"Kubs". Great name!

But I did do a little more reading here and found an impressive number of people who DID a favorable post either for their tractor or service from their dealer. . . these posts probably say more FOR Kioti than the problems posts say against them.
So, maybe I was a little hasty. Kioti's back on my list and I've contacted the fellow who has one for sale and we'll see if we work it out. Otherwise, the free loader deal on a new CK35 maybe a good one too.
. . . This forum has been way more friendly and full of folks with rational and reasonable comments than any I've ever experienced. I appreciate it.

You weren't being hasty Dave, it's a big decision. You'd probably be happy with most other brands too. . . like you say it's a choice of build quality, customer satisfaction, dealers, warranty, prices, what we need to use it for, all those and more.
Good luck with your purchase, and whatever you get remember we love Pics!
