Backhoe Backhoe stabilizers

[idkioti]

Last month while using my backhoe, one of my stabilizers broke at the bottom pivot pin. Unfortunately when it gave out the whole tractor shifted to the left and the other side broke from the stress at the same location.
Hoe is a KB2375 mounted to the subframe on a LK3054XS.
My dealer was not very impressed with the fact that they broke so easily. He contacted Kioti and they are replacing both with new improved stabilizers even though my warranty ran out last month.
They believe that there was a crack in one somewhere along the line and it finally gave out.
If any of you folks have the 2375 hoe, you might check your stabilizers where the pivot pins go through.
Just for info, don't take the hoe off to use another implement and then try to put it back on with no stabilizers, it is a son-of-a-_______! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'm glad you posted this so that new and old members get another example of how Kioti tries hard to take care of problems and imporve their products. Out of warranty or not, they're fixing this one. Thanks,
John

It's great to see that Kioti is standing behind their product and making the upgrade for you. Kioti must have realized the problem and that is why they have an improved version. Kioti has great tractors and with service like this, who wouldn't want one of their tractors.
