Point taken though, I will try hard to lighten up a little.
Any time I can be of help, just sing out and I will do my best to give you factual info rather than guess work.
Cheers

- 2005 Kioti ck25 (and possibly regretting it)
I didn't think the CK 30 or 25 had the shutoff knob. Highgear what year is your CK30? Could you take a pic of the dash where it is located. My CK25 is a 2005 and I'm almost certain that I don't have a fuel shutoff, though one sure would be nice.

Ours is an early model ser # 00092 . Should be at your right knee . Checking on the Kioti web site , for both CK25 and CK 30 , look under Specification . scroll down under standard equip. - Emergancy engine stop knob .

My CK 30 has the shut-off knob.
As far as the "major problem" with the DK45's. That may have been a little premature to make a statement like that. Dangerous situation? Certainly sounds like it, but so far it sounds like an isolated incident. We all know what happens when there is a widespread problem on TBN no matter what the brand.

Nope, it's not there. There is a nice little black rubber plug where one could go though. Just like up near the throttle where I believe a horn button could go. I've spent a lot of time on the machine and while I haven't needed it I wouldn't mind having one there.

Sort of off the subject but along the same lines......
If a diesel engine gets "fuel" into it's airstream while running it is very hard to shut down and it will rev very high.
The only way is to shut off it's source of air.
Now this fuel can be alot of things, a turbo seal leaking oil into the airstream
(I know this engine isn't turbo'd) an over-oiled "reusable air filter" etc.
The point I'm making is that ANY diesel engine can have the same thing happen, a run off, but you hardly ever see it in an owners manual.
If I called some of my customers and told them something like that they wouldn't ever drive a tractor again....any tractor.
It is a very small amount of tractors that this happens to.
It would be like seeing in a car owners manual....
"If throttle return spring breaks car may run over people"
Whatever brand put that in the manual, after the fact became well known wouldn't sell many cars.
We are all driving vehicles and equipment that can be very dangerous.
IF nothing breaks, let alone if something malfunctions.

I have to lube the throttle arm often on my CK30HST or the throttle will stick up above a grand on idle- that may be the cause? I would also like a horn on my tractor...or maybe that bumper sticker "horn broke, watch for finger"

If this turns out to be a widespread problem Kiota surely will take care of it promptly. I bet they learned a lesson from the way they handled all the cracking FEL's.
