Has the 1595 FEL problem ever been fixed?

[fastpat]

Just curious if this is still a problem component or not? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Kioti now has a fix kit available, but you have to buy it. They want around $750.00 for it. You will also have to pay for shipping and any dealer installation fees. Unless your dealer is doing this out of the kindness of his heart, he will need to be paid as well.

Nice to know they want to stick the cost of their design flaw on the poor unsuspecting consumers that dared purchase their tractor..... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Yes it has been resolved. The new models 1595-S has increased roll back power.
The original unit would do what the spec sheet said but the specs weren't quite enough. That is why it is an update kit on the older models, instead of warranty. Some dealers will only charge you their cost on the parts and have the update sent in on a truck bringing them tractors, negating the shipping charge. We install the update kits at a substantially discounted shop rate on our customers tractors.

I guess I should have been more clear. I don't own a tractor yet, but wanted to know if this issue had been resolved before I venture out.

 

[wallace]

Yes it has, just make sure when and if you decide that the DK55 is for you that it has a Kl1595S loader

 

[depratt_equip]

or has the update kit installed........

Yup
to what Kiohio, Wallace and Depratt said.

I wish I was back at work, the internet down here by the beach is just to slow /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I do not believe there is a kit for the 1450.
Only the 1470 and 1595.

it appears that the off brands are learning what the majors learned 50-60 years ago.
