I have no doubt that some of the threads regarding problem loaders has contributed to lower buying/pricing threads. However, I would hope that anyone interested in a new tractor will realize that we're not talking about the tractors but an add-on loader that, for the most part, has had only a few problems that apparently have been addressed on the newer models.
There isn't anything wrong with Kioti tractors, and they don't seem to have even as many problems as some of the other forums lead one to suspect happen to other brands.
Anyone interested in a good tractor would be doing themselves an injustice not to check out Kioti's offerings as they often offer more for the money in a stout, strong and well-designed product. Loaders come from many other makers as well if someone didn't want the Kioti loaders.
