Kioti Workshop Manuals

[dfkrug]

The links are not in english but the manuals are!

Thanks for posting. The PDFs for the CK25/27/30/35 is dated 2008. That's a year
newer than the 2007 PDF I currently have, and the 2004 paper manual I also have.

We pay out xx,xxx thousands of dollars and the company is too cheap to throw in a shop manual?

I paid $325.00 for my manuals.

Well, if they threw in the shop manual, then the price of the tractor would be xx,xxx dollars plus the cost of the shop manual.

Is this about what the manuals would look like if you were to purchase the service manuals (books)?

 

[chuck172]

Now we need the parts manuals. Anyone?

Now we need the parts manuals. Anyone?

Start here:

83.206.20.45 - /ftp/éclatés pièces/KIOTI/

for the French site given in post #2.

I bought the $120? workshop manual for my DK35SE but downloaded the more or less equivalent EX manual to have for quick reference on my computer. I also downloaded the EX parts manual but plan to buy the hardcopy too.

I like to have both. I usually download electronic manuals for everything (phones, tablets, TV, DVD players, etc) if I can find them.

I wish Kioti and others would provide an option to purchase and download electronic manuals.

Thanks for the loader downloads kco.

You should find the EX (similar to DKSE) parts manuals here:

83.206.20.45 - /ftp/éclatés pièces/KIOTI/GAMME EX/

I think it is close to extortion what Kioti charges for their manuals - especially considering how out-of-date and inaccurate they are.

Having said that, I bought all the manuals. So I don't consider it piracy for me to have on-line access to manuals, even if Kioti thinks it is. Kioti should be providing this. Since I have no legal alternative, piracy it is.

If you've purchased any factory manuals, they are always $100-$200. Same way with Ph.D dissertations. It is just the cost of publishing short-run, fat books.

What's the difference between the dk40se, and the ex models?

What's the difference between the dk40se, and the ex models?

A few minor things, mostly in the electrical and instrumentation but very minor. A bobcat has a few minor differences also in these areas.

I am with Davrow, I bought the hard copies, so I feel entitled to access the online versions. Actually feeling a little wicked doing some on line piracy.
You can see that it doesn't take much to amuse us New Englanders when we are under five feet of snow and it is 5 below.

I have admonished Kioti factory folks about this subject when I see them at their World Ag Expo exhibits.

Not only should they offer PDF versions for a lot less money, parts books should be online. MIE shows most,
but not all of the parts book info. Other Kioti dealers are starting to do this, too.

I compare Kioti to the big boys, JD and Kubota, where both paper and PDF service manuals are sold. The
last JD service manual I bought from JD was a PDF version for $30 or $35. Reasonable.

The best vendor model out there is Terex/Genie, which makes all PDF manuals available online, free.

Now, that said, I paid for paper service and parts books for my Kioti 10 y ago, and both were $100 or so, total.
The later PDF manuals do have changes and corrections.

I REALLY want a copy of the PDF Bobcat service manual for the CT230/235 as it has been re-written.
Bobcat would not even sell it, last time I asked.

I guess you all should have bought tractors that cost $4000 more so you could get all the manuals for cheap.

Great resource KCO. Thanks for the link.

No KL6010 manual of any type as far as I can see.
