Hey! Is that a yellow card or what? Must be some sort of a foul for bringing facts into a discussion!

Oh, forgot to point out that the gauge of the steel used also is an indication of the strength. Ask what the weight of the loader frame and mounts are. Heavier (for the same lifting capacity) is going to be more durable - generally. Then just let your experience and gut tell you if all that extra metal is a good thing or not.

Any loader mfg Co worth spit does extensive and expensive testing to prove designs.

All loaders are not created equal. keep reading Slackdaddy!

Maybe true, though it appears Kioti has addressed it in a re-design. How those with the old design are being dealt with is another issue widely discussed in the Kioti forum.
KMW on the other hand, seems to be proven, as there are alot of them in the field and we have read of no issues.

I am not touching that with a ten foot pole. Glad I did not design or build that loader!
