Bad Kioti things

so far at 75 hours I have broken the front axel carrier twice and broke both blinkers off , now its in the shop because I tore all the linkages off the botom of the left side of the tractor even broke the dip stick off this made a huge mess!! they had to split the tractor in two to replace the linkages that i stove up , I will say that with any implement on the back of my tractor
(ck20) ie bush hog , box blade , finish mower, it will not spin the tires not even a little it will just wine, low in 4wd 2400 rpms , I still love the tractor its a great little machine!

@kubotalinc,

Wow. What did you do to cause all that? (Jumping Snake River Canyon comes to mind). :D

My only issue so far: a tail light's out.

Well, I got a nail in my tire but that's not the machine's fault.

i pushed a tree over and when i drove over it the stump ripped out of the ground and tore heck out of the linkages , the front axel carrier is broke again so I don't know whats going on with that , it broke when I was bush hogging and turned the wheels and snap , the part is backorded so I think some thing is going on with the front ends in these little tractors?

It must be all those people who think they can drive over trees with a CUT. :laughing:

I highly doubt this is a common problem since no one has ever mentioned it in the 5 years I've been here. There are users with 1000's of hours and no problems with the front end. Maybe a dealer can chime in with any problems found. I know I use the heck out of my loader and constantly overload the FEL since most of the rocks I move can only be picked up about 2ft before it hits the relief valve.

In your case, I wonder if something in the axle frame or axle carrier got bent so even a new bearing will be destroyed quickly because the mount is "out-of-round".

My only problem so far in 5 years and 400 hours was a quick disconnect on the loader that would pop-off whenever I hit something hard but a good cleaning and re-connect seems to have solved the "problem".

i only have 75 hours on this tractor but the front carrier shoud be a lot harder to break , not really abusing it, when it breaks anyway.

548 hours and counting. I had a few problems but they were covered under warranty.
The only thing "I" broke was the radio antennas... in the woods logging and pulled door off hinge. I usually turn the mirrors in most times...

I've carried rock and logs on the forks over rough terrain - slowly with no problems. Just the other day I lifted with the forks - to max - a granite rock that was probably 3-4' across by 3' thick. I raised it enough to move it about 20' to the fence rail. The biggest log I have lifted was 10-12' long and 32" at the butt.

Warranty items:
Pinched AC hose under cab - rubbed against cab and started to leak
A/B rear remote handle/port not staying engaged - repacked with grease
Radiator Cracked - replaced

No other problems that I can think of.

I moved hundred of loads of manure, gravel, firewood. Pushed and blew many a ton of snow. Box bladed miles of gravel lanes. Chipped enough wood to make many a sheet of plywood and dug a couple of thousand feet of ditches. Tethered hay fields and hauled hay.
Push hogged 15+ acres... it has done everything I have asked pleasingly!!!!
