Just got off the phone with kioti

$6000? High hours? That is truly a line of bull sh*t.!

I'm just guessing but shouldn't that machine be worth about three times that?

I agree,that's BS.

As a point of reference, I paid $16K (in 2009) for a 3-year-old DK45S with 250 hours and I thought it was a great deal. Of course I've had zero problems, but I didn't know that then.

So he bought a tractor 400 miles from home and expects free transport for warranty repairs? Am I actually reading this correctly?

Is there some place that it was said that the dealer is 400 miles away? I read that the dealer wanted $400 to transport.

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 .

Says so right here for all to see.
The OP's avatar lists a Maine location and his post #18 here mentions a NJ dealer.
Not a situation where the seller is likely to offer free transport for warranty repairs, or send a service truck to stop by "when in the area".

I'm thinking this is part of "the rest of the story".

From day one with the tractor dealing with kioti rep Connie and her emails and dealer nasty email Saved them all. I also recorded the conversation with the rep telling my stop paying the bill to get the tractor to the dealer. They have tried fixing it twice. And the dealer at 400.00 buck a pop. The tractor to get to run is clear and unplug and plug everything back in to get it to start. And shouldn't take month to get a part

If this is the case, why would you talk to a dealer in NJ?
Warranty is warranty....any dealer should honor it. If not, then you have something to talk to Kioti about.
To transport a tractor that far and bypass several dealers....$400 seems fair...fuel and time aren't cheap.

Connie has been gone since November I trust from reading that here.

My thoughts on reading this thread (trying not to be critical) that the OP does have some sorely missing communication skills that could be affecting the negotiations and results.
Just my :2cents:

I believe he bought the tractor from New Jersey had lots of problems then used a dealer closer to home. I am familiar with dealer in NJ and felt very uncomfortable with him so went a different route. Hopefully this will work out for the best

If the tractor has been to the shop multiple times and the problem still hasn't been fixed then I understand the frustration about paying the trucking cost again. I would be upset as well in that case. Good luck to the op with this situation.
