Good, you got the pics thing down!
Here's my suggestion. Contact your dealer about what your backhoe is missing: 'Bigfoot pads' Sold by Kioti your stabilizers are useless without them They bolt right on and you'll notice a big difference in gription!
Kioti Bigfoot pads - Google Search
You must have read my mind Coyote, I have been thinking about those. How much are they?

Don't know they were installed already on my hoe. I'd ask your dealer why yours doesn't have them. As far as I see it, they should be in the backhoe price, installed by dealer. I can't imaging the stabilizers do anything without them... Maybe they'll give you a pair?...:confused3: Can't hurt to ask...
Hi to all,
I purchased a Kioti 2021 K9 2400 and am happy with the overall product but have a huge concern with engine from day 1 - brand new machine with the instrument panel indicating that the engine is over heating, panel is flashing on and off with the heat bars full as high as they can go to the top, I stopped and let it idle and it went down in heat bars right away. I then let cool right down checked rad and oil , all looked okay. I drove again and this happened on and off a few more times that day anytime I drove it a little up hill and around 35 KPH and no load on it at all. This was when outside temperatures were around 3 or 4 celcius or 35 or 40f. So I can imagine what may occur when temps are summer hot. Took it to the dealer they said it must be a faulty thermo which they said they replaced. They also said they drove it around their lot and could not get it to indicate overheat issues. I took it out next day again same thing. Im thinking this may be a quirk with this engine and it nots overheating or worse it is and the engine will fry itself. Has anyone else had any similar issues with their K9 2400?? . Im just trying decide how to approach these guys at the dealership as they seem to think its just a thermo and its not really overheating and also claiming they could not get it do what i saw it do.
Thanks

I would take a picture of the gauge for documentation (that indicator would be hard to fake!)
do you have a IR temp gun?
new machine, I wonder if there is some sort of hydro lock issue/air block in system. Some liquid cooling systems can hold air and require specific bleeding or a pressurized fill technique

Does the electric fan come on when it shows that the engine is hot. Might try running with the radiator cap lose to see if the water boils which it will before damage to the engine.
Thank you to both for your response and ideas,
I did take a phone video of it flashing on and off full to top bars while driving it and sent it to them. As soon as i stop driving it will go down to around 75% of bar height and then more in time. The manual says the bars should be sitting or illuminating the bars around the bottom if im reading it correctly, my machine is usually operating at least half bars and lots around 75% and then the flashing on off indicating all bars lit up. As mentioned they (the dealer) felt it was a faulty thermo and said they replaced it and the same thing occurred when trying it out after words. I did also run it stationary with the rad cap off hoping there would be airlocks or other and there may have been a slight improvement but it still happens. The fan is coming on for sure i can hear it. Im not sure what is meant by an IR temp gun - is this an infra red temp gun? if so i do have a laser one, Im guessing to point it at rad where it will hit the outside of rad - rad temperature or is there another place to point it at the engine and if engine where on engine? Also if i ran it with the rad cap loose would i be doing this while driving it or stationary? the only time this happens is when I am driving it. Any other ideas or info highly appreciated and thank you both so much

It may sound nuts but they may have replaced the thermostat wiith another bad thermostat. I have a K-9 2400 and like it but it is not as impressive as my Kioti tractor. I have had the CVT belt replaced with about 35 hours (under warranty but a little concerning) My CK4010 HST has been rock solid for 5 years and 200 hours.
