Your information is very non-specific in nature. No model number, year, etc.etc.

Don,

IIRC it was around a 45hp 4wd tractor. I don't know the model number it was bought new in 2004. Maybe his tractor was a fluke its the only Kioti I have ever been around. I wasn't impressed with that particular tractor.

I am sure this really happened and the machine was not abused or used improperly at all too! I call BS, they bent the loader arms pushing brush. Yeah okay...

Maybe the machine was abused I don't know. All I know is pushing on brush piles and some stumps I watched the arms fold. Maybe it was only on that tractor maybe he had been working it hard before I saw it. I only posted what I saw as a fact. Maybe all Kioti's aren't piles of junk like his. Everything out there has a lemon even JD and Kubota.

Reading through your previous posts, it's obvious your a Deere fan and will put down every other manufacturer just to promote your own equipment.

I love ignorant statements like this. Always remember don't make assumptions

You might want to go back and reread my post for content.

You even said "Kubota's oil pump is no where near big enough. Their hydraulics are SO SLOW" It's sad really.

I know its sad you would think they would get in the game and build a bigger pump. Again I am just stating facts I know.

Tractor for tractor a 95hp(engine) 80hp(pto) Kubota puts out 18.1gpm. Same tractor in the JD version puts out 24.7gpm. It's 6.6gpm more flow.

Product Specification for 5095M Utility Tractor (95 hp)



Personally I am a Deere fan they didn't get to be one of the oldest manufacturers in the U.S. by putting out junk.

Oh darn. I guess I'll have to be more careful with my loader from now on. No more uprooting stumps, boulders and monster piles of brush. From now on I'll just use the loader to collect the mail and scoop dog poop. Thanks for the warning.

Eh no comment

Do you really think anyone is going to believe that a pile of brush folded a 45HP tractors loader arms like a paper clip? Especially the Kioti's monstrous KL401 loader with over 2,700lbs of lift! Also, I did read the content of your posts. It's as comical as this one.

rtimgray, I am getting very good at Photoshop. Check out the well tile I strapped to the loader, removed from the truck and lowered into the ground all from the seat of my computer. I assumed you were joking.

Like I say he may have been forcing on it the day before I don't know. But when pushing on the stump and brush it folded over to the side enough the loader wouldn't operate. That is the extent of my dealings with Kioti.

I posted exactly what I saw with a Kioti tractor.

How is the content of my posts comical?

Yes I know what its like, saw a spacecraft land in the field and took my Belarus tractor then returned it the next night and it was repainted green and had a Deere on it.

I have no doubt you could twist ANY tractor mounted front end loader like that. Easy to do. Just put the tractor in 4wd low, lower the bucket to just above ground level and charge into a pile of brush that is hiding a stump. Hit the stump with the edge of the bucket (not the center) and you will apply massive twisting forces to the long FEL arms. You'd have to be dumb as dirt to try such a manuver but I have zero doubt that would bust any loader made by JD, Kubota or Kioti. Bulldozing is for bulldozers. FELs are primarily designed to lift not push and certainly are not designed to push off center.

Exactly he may have been doing this the day before and these stumps and brush were just the icing on the cake.

This is my only experience with Kioti so it wasn't the best so I was posting my experience with them.

With all the people that like their Kioti I would say buy one if you have a dealer that is good and close to you.

I have a friend that had a Kioti. Pushing on some brush piles with the loader and the loader arms bent like a bad paper clip.

This is how second hand information does more harm than good. First it's a mere brush pile.Then....

"But when pushing on the stump and brush it folded over to the side enough the loader wouldn't operate."

Then it's pushing on a stump and brush.

Me thinks this owner/operator friend felt he purchased a bulldozer, but the reality of the situation was he actually purchased a compact utility tractor.
