Thanks everyone.
Question: Do you have to service a new tractor where you bought it?
Speaking only from my own experience with the Kioti the answer is no.
I did my own service work. However, I did make it a point as part of my casual conversation and building rapport that they knew I came to buy my filters from them in order to keep warranty issues down. They know I'm (85-90) miles down the road, so they even offer to ship them for me next time; which they have before.
This dealer and staff have treated me well knowing I'm there for parts and knowledge. I kid around a lot with a few and pick their brains on the nuances of the machine.
If your resources are limited but have connections and someone can service the machine for you it should not be a problem. Out of support for the dealer I would consider getting the filters from them just to build that rapport should any warranty concerns crop up.
