Kioti deal or no deal price?

[Code54]

Bought mine from Barlows in Kentucky. Long way from home and saved thousands. Buy my filters local and do my own service. No other service in 13 years (knock on wood)

I bought one from them also. My other tractor and the excavator were also both from out-of-town dealers (one was 8 hrs away) - I never needed the out-of-town dealer again. My local dealer even suggested getting my MX from Barlows as he didn't have one in stock and after he looked at what they were offering it for and said it was an excellent price with delivery. He told me more than once that if anything ever went wrong with any of the machines he would be glad to service them.
I had one safety switch fail (about a $20 part), I told my local dealer, he ordered it, it came in and I gave him the broken one and he handed me the new one under warranty. He understood I didn't want to load and haul the tractor over for a repair that took less than 5 minutes. Would have taken well longer just to load it on a trailer and strap it down!

It was at Larry Stokes that denied the warranty on my 2022 Kioti Ck2610h. Loader bracket broke the bellhousing. They said that the bolts were loose and that's what broke the bellhousing. BUT, the loafer was installed by Kioti. Evidently, Kioti didn't torque the bolts or put locktight on them. Tractor sat there a month and a half then they told me this. They said it is the owners responsibility to check all the bolts and torque before using each time. I own and sell used tractors and never have had this problem with Kubota, John Deere or New Holland. KIOTI DOESN'T HONOR THEIR WARRANTY!!!

Well, if if it’s not the owners responsibility, why do any of them give torque charts in the owners manuals?

I would NEVER buy ANY tractor from any dealer that was not local to me. No exceptions. In the end, you'll get stung.

Reason being is, all dealers are independent businessmen and as such, if you need dealer intervention (and you will at some point), you go to the bottom of the barrel.

I've never had a problem getting a dealer to take my money and work on a tractor. They also do warranty work on tractors they didn't sell.

Maybe they just don't like you!

Only had 288 hours on it. The torque charts are there if you have to remove a part to work on it. If Kioti isn't smart enough or to cheap to use locktight on bolts to keep them from loosing up they are selling JUNK!!!

Warranty is Warranty liking or disliking has nothing to do with it!!!

Local Dealer can be good but plenty of long time locals no longer exist...

At one time we had several Kubota and then they all closed and nearest us 80 miles one way but they do give priority to tractors they sold...

Why would I want to remove the loader frame under warranty? Why wouldn’t I just belittle the dealer/brand for not doing it?

You check each bolt on your tractor before every use?
