Availability of Kioti parts

[JoelD]

I've waited days for Deere and kubota parts in the past

If you can only tolerate zero time down buy a second machine as a parts machine this way you'll always have parts on hand

Try presenting that view to a large customer base & watch it turn into a small customer base quickly. I'm gathering information here, that's all. There's quite a difference from a customer satisfaction standpoint between having parts in one day via UPS ground and two or three days in the same manner. There's also major shortline companies out there that can't pick and fill an order in less than 36 hours, and that's a major PITA as well.

Seems like someone has an agenda, or is it just the way I read this?

Is this not a place for sharing ideas & gathering information?

As a kid I raced motocross, we had three bikes, all the same. One my brother raced, one I raced and one we had as an open bike we'd race in the open class. We also used the open bike as an emergency parts bike if need be.

We'd sell all three at the end of the season and do the same thing the next season.

Only way we knew for sure that we'd have exactly what we need no matter what failed on race day.

No matter what manufacturer you go with you'll find some parts imediately availabe and some not and no way to predict which will be which.

At the end of the day you'll find no material difference between Kioti and any of the other major brands.

PS, my last tractor was a Kubota B6000e, I had two of them so that I'd know I'd have a running machine just about no matter what.

My point was, if you want zero down time get a second machine, nothing more nothing less.

Sure, it is an awesome site for sharing and gathering information.
All I said is it appears that there seems to be an agenda behind said gathering of information

I'd make a stronger statement. Virtually all parts except paint, decals, backhoes and loaders are interchangable. I'm sure that will change a bit in the future but for current models I believe it is true.

Rick Wallace is the man to give us the definitive answer.

Ignition switches are interchangeable either tried that last time I needed one, have had to replace two in under 200 hrs.

No good excuse for the delay, did you try calling other dealers? Rick Wallace maybe able to help. In the meantime get a piece of plexiglass and cut to size. Will at least keep the wind and snow out.

Good luck,
Joel

flatlander dave,

Can't you have a *hydraulic line made to spec locally? (*Assuming that is what you were saying you need?).
And I vote for plexiglass fix to get you by too.
