Also need to buy a new wiring harness!! My dealer is no longer Kioti and I'm not sure if the bobcat guys have the experience yet to be tearing into wiring harnesses... (I've got corrosion in one of the major connectors that has unfortunately returned even after cleanout and di-electric grease). I don't want it to spread to essential things like glow-plug or starter so I can still use the tractor. I've got manual fuel shut-off if the electric part of that solenoid ever fails...
What I really would like to do would be to haul the machine w/ me and have Rick do his "premium" service -- go through the whole thing and change the harness while at it. This would of course be before or after the party!

Okay you want you got it!
I would like to have it on a Sunday will that work for everyone??
Or would a Saturday be better.
Shoot some dates out and lets see what we can get together..
Boy-o-boy wait untill I tell Mrs. Tractor what you are doing Joel!

Even though it's a five hour drive for me, I'd still like to meet Rick and thank him for his help. I think I'll bring my trailer too. I'm sure there is some piece of equipment he has that I would like to bring home. Sounds like a great idea. Maybe give it a name: North East Kioti Convention

The drive is decent enough and I don't care if it's a Saturday or Sunday. Just make it a decent day out and have some tractors on display.
Another nice thing would be if you put some tractors out and possible have some members show maintenance tips and tips on how to connect/disconnect implements. You know, some best practices.
I can wait to show up.

Keep the ideas coming..
I know I can get the Kioti rep here and maybe even the Woods and Bush Hog reps (we'll make them do the cooking! )
Hmmm wonder if we can get the Kioti girls here for pictures!

IF I can make it, Saturday will be the only day that works for me. I would definitly like to see some tips/tricks to maintaining/using these beasts, and to personally thank Rick for his pre-purchase help. I would be willing to chip in for food, I will NOT be bringing a trailer... checking account is hurting too much and Rick is too good of a salesman. Although I could use a PHD, Rototiller, landscape rake, log splitter, T-N-T... Hmmm maybe I shouldn't go... naa I am strong, I CAN resist the force of a Wallace sales pitch. Unless I bring SWMBO, she can talk me into accessories faster than Rick!!!!
