I bought a little Kioti a little over two years ago.

Can't believe you actually put that in writing! :laughing:

You know you are right. I have subtracted 100 man points from my tally. What was I thinking? Oh, I remember now, my wife said I only needed one. Crap! There goes another 100 man points.:mur:

Need to buy a new chain saw....125 man points. 150 if you don't tell the Mrs about it first.

Glad you like your kioti.I bought a new kioti ck20s hst tractor 2 years ago and its a great smaller tractor.Pushed lots of snow with the bucket the last 2 winters here in nova scotia Canada and I am now getting close to buying a snow blower to hook up to the pto for the upcoming winter months.I bought a tiller and rotary cutter(bushhog) last year as well and both work great on back.Enjoy your kioti

I pulled that one last fall. Went out to buy parts to get my old chainsaw running again and came home with a new saw. Wife was like what? I was like I have limited time, I decided I needed to get the job done vs fixing first and then trying to do the job ... deal with it. I won't mention the response cause I don't want to give up any man points.

I can't believe he even thought it.


There's an old joke I (barely) remember about an old farmer that was wanting a new tractor and his wife said "You don't need a new tractor" to which the farmer replied I didn't *need* a wife but I got one. :laughing:

Feel free to use that at your own peril.

What is up with that, you ask?

I don't know.

I am thinking about knocking out an in depth 200 hour review of my Kioti tractor so others know what to expect.

I also hit 200 not too long ago. My only issues have been normal maintenance like a few lost E-clips and a few lost pins (on order from MIE), other than the hydraulic filter replacement... Oh, and the FEL mounting bolts loosening even with new grade 8 bolts, lock washers and blue thread locker. However, my tractor is used to its maximum capabilities ~ 50% of the time and has done a lot of heavy digging in heavy, very rocky clay. And thanks to my Dewalt 20v power greaser and the lock-n-lube I can now actually get grease into all of the fittings.

I am really lucky, somehow have managed to collect just about four of each: tractors, chain saws, tillers, riding lawnmowers definitely a good way to keep busy. But careful about adding up points, much better to keep pretty quiet.

Mine notices most anything new. I have gotten comments like, "What is that round thing?" Brass tumbler... "Why do you need a small one and a big one?" ... none ya... And out of all of the computer equipment (I work from home) on two tables, she happened to notice a new device the size of a large coffee mug... none ya ...

I bought a little Kioti tractor a little over two years ago. I have found the tractor to be a solid machine. I just bought an little JD 1025r with loader, mid mower, and backhoe for around the house work. The first thing I notice when get on this forum was, the people in the JD thread do not engage like the Kioti people. I have always had excellent luck when asking questions about Kioti products on this forum. The JD forum, not so much. I have many views, but they just move along without even saying anything. What is up with that?

JD people send their tractors to the dealer rather than engage in DIY. That is a bit severe but generally speaking the JD and Kubota buyers are more focused on dealer service IMO (partly because it is closer and more convenient).
