Because it seems like more tractor for the money and they had it in stock! I needed it to prepare for a big event we're having this weekend.
I got a CK20S HST delivered on Tuesday, and on Friday I realized that it has been leaking (presumably from the start). I've only put 8 hours on it that consisted of grading 2000 square feet of yard (moving dirt, box blade, etc).
I've troubleshot to the best that I can and it appears to only leak when in high range with the pedal applied. It leaks at the rate of 1-2 drops per second! While I've never used a Kioti before, even before observing the leak, I didn't think the high range was useful (no power, very slow to accelerate even w/ no load on flat ground).
The dealer is coming to pick it up today, but I'm not happy that my brand new tractor is going to the shop. Any idea what it can be?
Wish I had a Deere!
No; that's a new tractor being repaired under the manufacturer's warranty, which came with the tractor to take care of exactly this type of issue. Think of if you had bought a used tractor, and the same thing happened?! You'd be paying to have the problem solved...not cheap.
yeah- and then if you broke the 3 point mount(s) off of the Aluminum rear axle housing ( installed on some new deeres) while using a box blade or other high load implement and deere would not cover it because the metal broke off and characterized it as abuse??... it could cost over a grand... No tractor is perfect
