Rethinking Kioti products

[IslandTractor]

I piss on the Red Sox!!!!! Go Indians!!!!!

If I recall correctly, your vaunted Indians have had trouble getting to the World Series in recent years because the path goes through Fenway. Go Sox.

Go Sox!!!

Why do I have a bad feeling us Yankees fans are in the minority here? Tractors are one thing, there is no compromise in baseball. Dare I even mention Denver:stirthepot:

Why do I want to break out into a rousing rendition of "hale to the chief" when I read this thread? Weird...

If I were in your shoes I'd talk only about how great Jeter and Rivera were as players and what a class act Joe Torre was as a manager. That should keep you safe even in Boston.

As a kubota owner referenced as a shark circling the poor crippled Kioti, nothing could be farther from the truth.

I own and love both brands, so I happily swim in both schools. Guess that makes me an equal-opportunity shark. :licking:

I do think the OP was deliberately provocative with his comments (starting with the thread title, for that matter), so I get why CM responded as he did. I'm all for trying to do my own repairs where I can, but as another poster suggested, why would you "rethink" the entire Kioti brand of products over a single pesky electrical issue, and claim Kioti is all about sales and no support, before even giving the dealer's service department an opportunity look at the tractor? :confused3: Also, publicly calling out a Kioti customer service employee by name on an international forum, and inferring that she never returns anyone's calls because she hasn't returned Rick's strikes me as a cheap shot.

Rick, I hope you can resolve the problem, it sure sounds frustrating. Perhaps I'm wrong, but the way you pitched this thread strikes me as essentially a social-media play to shame a vendor into somehow solving the problem remotely, without actually giving them the opportunity to work on the tractor.

WELL said!

I cannot fault you there. Seems to have a jinx on Cleveland no matter what the sport.
I actually turned into a Pittsburg Steelers fan last year as I can't take the Browns anymore. Not enough wins and too much drama.

The forums seem to have matured and while virtually everyone is rah rah about their own tractor and tends to overlook the negatives, we all routine do the opposite for brands we chose not to buy. I believe it's referred to as validation bias or something like that.

You are right, "confirmation bias" is one of the more significant cognitive fallacies.

I will now return to circling the waters with my popcorn opcorntub:

Confirmation bias...that's what I was trying to remember. Thanks.
