Hello to all. I am new to this site and to owning a tractor, I currently own a kioti ck25 ht and let me first give you my opinion, do not buy a kioti product as they are unreliable machines. I have had three ignition switches go bad, a cracked front loader and a loader bucket that split open due to cheap and thin steel material. Now here is my problem and question. Yesterday I was mowingmy field with a brush cutter using the PTO, everything was going good when I heard a knock in the engine. About 20 minuets later the knock turned into a loud rattling/ knocking, and the engine started to stop, so I pushed in the clutch, disengaged the PTO and shut off the engine. Question does this sound like a brocken rod and or piston? No smoke, no fluids were observed and when I tried to restart all I heard was a knocking sound so I shut the engine off, and now my tractor is stuck out in my field with the loader and attatchment in the down position.
I dont think kioti will help due to the tractor being out of warranty since it is 7 yrs old.
Any advise or troubleshooting ideas would be helpful.
BTW the tractor is full of oil, radiator is full, air filter is new.
Thank you
Jon
