Would you buy your Kioti (or another) again?

[nwhittemore]

Agreed! All brands succumb to “standard/regular wear”, “operator error” or minor “recurring issues”.
With this in mind, I figure that Kioti is overall a very reliable tractor brand although a few model years have potential to develop some “known issues”.... e.g. a few CK model years had weak injector pumps.
I’d buy Kioti again as my preferred brand actually... but like the OP, I’d do my research before I bought any piece of equipment and make sure I have access to capable, honest dealer support.
It would be great if there was an objective site/list of known issues by tractor brand:model/year but I haven’t been able to find a site with one.

That list would be fabulous I would even pay to have access to the information. Someone should get on that because you could sure enough make a killing

The one and only thing I did not like on my DK40se is the remote valves. They leak down on mine and it is hard trying to keep up with the top cylinder.

I had a Kioti DK50 SE for seven years and 980 hours. It was a bulletproof and reliable little tractor. Last week I just pulled the trigger on a RX7320. If I have nearly as good luck with this one as I did with the first I'll be happy.

Add a check valve to your top link cylinder or get a cylinder that has a check valve and your problem will go away.

Good luck on that list thing...
Whats out there is mostly HERE! Kioti wise. Read a few car reviews and you'll quickly see that even some so called pros lean heavily on adjectives not facts.
Some people read CR to see what ice cream they should like. I've found that with machines you must do the leg work, ask the right questions and if you happen to actually know about the machine basics to begin with then you'll have done the best you can.

Yeah... lots of tractor opinions written. Here’s one that in 2014 rates Kioti brand tractors as 8th best in the world out of 37. The brand is no slouch...

Here’s one that in 2014 rates Kioti brand tractors as 8th best in the world out of 37.

Interesting list of 37 makers, past and present. Some, long gone (Oliver), some missing (Landini).

For someone in the market for a specific class of tractor, there is no easy list of best-to-worst. Many owners
who have only had one brand, think theirs is the best. Websites that push a certain brand may have an incentive,
such as they advertise there.

TBN is good in that, AFAIK, they are not taking money from JD, Kubota, DaeDong, or any other maker. Finding opinions here
is easy, but you have to look deeper to see what they are based on.

I have owned several diff brands, but I am careful to base my opinions on facts I can see, and give credit
to anything good that I see in a brand. Not just the bad.

Yeah, I would buy another Kioti, but prob an NX.

I love my Kioti but it is the dealer that I hate. PR stinks and show no care to their customers. I would buy a John Deere next which was my first option but because the dealer is far away I opt to Kioti which is only 1 hour away but very hard to get them to come for service etc. So I would been better off with the JD.

1300 hours on my DK 45 which I've owned since 2006. Injector pump went bad at 1000 hrs. Otherwise no problems and its been used hard for just about anything considered farming.

Yes I would love my CK30 hst
