I have been in contact with LaK via PM's. I have been trying to meet up with him so I can at least see if I can find something obvious. Between my schedule, his schedule and him dealing with his sick child... we have not been able to find time to get together. I purchased a used trailer to move my tractor that needs a little mechanical work and some of the deck boards replaced. At this point it looks like the soonest we can get the tractor to the dealer will be mid August. He also tried to get a manual and the dealer he contacted said he would not sell a manual unless he bought the tractor from him. That dealer is now out of business. I am getting a DK manual with my tractor next week so hopefully once I have that we can get together and sort this out.. without dragging it to the dealer.

No one's ragging on him; we're all just fed up with him ragging on Kioti for things that are not their fault. If he can't afford to transport the tractor for warranty repairs maybe he can't afford to own any tractor. Someone offered to transport it for him- no response- I've offered to come to his place while on Va-ca in ME and look at the tractor- NO RESPONSE!
Just because he's using it at a not for profit is NOT Kioti's fault. If back ordered parts take a long time, that's just how it is. A dealer did come to his place and replace the ignition switch with the newest switch available. Slashed tires upon delivery should have been handled by NOT receiving the tractor. Dealer's in other states who sold it to him is his mistake for thinking that is the way to save money, instead of buying local and getting service under warranty locally, and supporting his local dealer. All this has been hashed out forever and nothing changes.
If the OP stops trying to make Kioti look bad for the minor things that are wrong with his tractor we might be more inclined to sympathize with his situation. Bottom line is he has turned down transportation, and at home FREE service by me, and with no explanation. Maybe it's time for him to quit his complaining about how bad a company- in his opinion, Kioti is and get real- save up some money- transport it to the dealer and get it fixed under warranty like anyone else would have to do.

Any good samaritan that gives this guy help does so at the risk of getting sued for reasons real or imagined.

That's what I get out of all of this.

Free ride what are you a dip . I have worked my whole life I didn't take the guys offer to bring my tractor to the dealer because I would want to pay him. Right now I can't . But when the same issues keeps coming up and they want 400.00 a pop because kioti corp won't replace the wires harnes or some other things that are defective on it . Know know dude done talking to you should waste my breath.

The guy offered to help a fellow human, so you cannot afford to pay him 400 bucks, send him 10 bucks a month if you did not want to take his charity.
