After calling kioti rep and leaving a message on June 15th and never heard back. I call today got the run around that i need to pay to get it to the dealer I have had this issue sense day one getting tired of . Told him didn't have 400.00 with my daughters medical bills . Told me to stop paying the bill and pay for the dealer to come get it. So that piss me off to use every swear in the book. Then told I Guess it's time to fill out the complaint form with the attorney generals office.

They actually told you to stop paying your daughter's medical bills and instead pay the dealer to transport the tractor back to their shop? Really?

My goodness.

Sounds like there's frustration on both sides now. I'm sensitive to your situation and feel for you with all the problems you've had with the "new" tractor. I went through the exact same thing with issue after issue, but because of my dealer, never really got frustrated over it. As you've probably heard me say, giving up and trading the tractor was a difficult decision, but I'm very happy with it.

It's an unfortunate situation you're in. Kioti will have no problem fixing the issue under warranty (through a dealer), but like the warranty on a vehicle, you need to take it to them to have it fixed. There is a real cost to having your tractor floated both ways to the dealer and the dealer needs to get paid for those costs. My dealer handles all that while the tractor is under warranty but that was part of the deal when I bought the tractor. You didn't even buy the tractor from the dealer you're working with now, so it's all that much harder to get him to offer that type of service now. You have to understand he doesn't want to shell out $$ from his own pocket to pick up your tractor.

I hope you can find somebody to help you out. I'd personally just make a deal with the new Kioti dealer or a dealer for another brand to take that tractor as a trade, deliver the new tractor and do all warranty work on site or transport to his shop at his cost. Of course if you're in the situation you're in with your daughter, that may just not be a reality.

I've always thought you were a really noble guy, somebody who put it all out to help others and follow your heart. I'm not sure why the universe is mad at you right now. I know this camp is your dream, but it sounds like you're trying to put more into it than your resources permit. I wish you all the best with your daughter.

Is there someone around you that can transport it for you for less?
Daughter comes first, tractor second or third or fourth.
Someone has to have a trailer and truck that can help you out, if I where close I would transport for you and just want something for gas used.
Good luck hope you get this resolved and your daughter regains her health.

Have you considered putting an ad up on Craigslist, asking for somebody with a trailer to help you out? I know that, for a professional trucker, the insurance and upkeep and fuel and time must be paid for, but some good ol' boy with a truck and a car hauler may be willing to do you a favor for the cost of gas, or maybe some kind of barter (tractor work in exchange for transportation).
