You are right. If the dealer don't get it right this time, AB4D, time to trade it and get another brand. Any other brand excepting a Grey of course.
There, I said it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Wasn't all that hard either. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
After having stating that, every tractor manufacturer can make a "Monday" tractor. I just don't want to be the recipient of it. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
In retrospect, I considered a Kioti DK65 to replace my 5030 but it didn't have quite enough ponies. I love the Perkins, Perkins engines are the best around and there are features on the DK65 that the M9 don't have that I wish it did, like the moon roof and the outside inching control, but it didn't have the suds. I despise disappearing loaders, especially with a 4x5 on the end. Once above the cab, it's all by feel.
My other problem with the DK was that there were no older ones around these parts. The new Kioti and the Kubby could be twins in the hood department and I am a hood man all the way. I had to special order my M9 to get the old style hood which Kioti had none of.
I may buy a small Kioti this summer to mow our 7 acres with and grade our gravel drives (the M9 and the Massey are hard on them) and that way I won't be an "outsider" on your discussion forum. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I'm staying abreast of Highbeam's loader problems. I hope he finds the solution to be workable and I am waiting for a continuation of the thread. Mathey's HST problems are interesting as well. I read the Kioti forum all the time, not to be a prickly pear, but to try to help out.
