Kioti Broken in Half

[ranger danger]

Glad to see I'm not the only one capable of tractor carnage! I snapped a Kubota MX5100 in half about last July.

The early 1900 design of tractors are bad, it's just strange that the world does not going forward, Class xerion is a interesting design and when we get rid of mechanical power train we might get more modern designs.

Nice looking large tractor, however it is going to be quite complicated in design and build.
I have to wonder how they will be doing in 20, 40 or 60 years.
My IH 574 is over 50 years old and still works good.
On the farm we are still using Farmall 656's, 560 and even a 400 then there is the H which scraps the free stall barn daily,
which is I believe a 1942 model.
I don't believe that any of the newer units will come close to the longevity and durability of those old farm tractors,
with all of 22 to 60 Hp.

Holy ****!

How'd you do that?

Yeah Now there is some Major Damage...
What Truly Broke in Half means.

From the pics shown I think the Kioti owner was a Whole lot luckier on the actual damage to the core tractor components.
That Kubota had to be an expensive fix. Here is hoping KTAC was in effect.

And all of this crap about loaders, and not a single one of us on this forum has even the slightest clue as to what happened to this broken tractor. NOT A CLUE.

Yep.

I'll go out on a limb here..... A Grapple is potentially the most abusive attachment you can add to a tractor. Multiplies the FEL stresses on the tractor chassis many, many times over.

Whether the manufacturer builds in the structural strength needed to handle an FEL can be debated. But I am sure no manufacturer builds in the structural strength needed to handle a Grapple.

Does any manufacturer offer a Grapple as an option on their tractor? No.

If you break your tractor using a Grapple and honestly report that to the manufacturer they will deny your warranty claim.

This fuels my belief to always have a larger class tractor than you actually need. And be mature enough to keep your expectations at that smaller class level. Requires a lot of maturity.

I may break my tractor in half tomorrow. And if I do I'll have flashbacks of all the times I've overloaded my tractor. And I would never blame the tractor's design. I should have looked at all of that before making the purchase.

Wrong. Both JD and Kubota manufacture their own loaders in the US. Are you saying that you don’t have those dealers in your area?

IF true, why did the john deere loader I saw at a farm show, say made in china on it?? AND their farm tractor loader mfg'ing moved from Canada to Mexico some years ago...

Anyone that has ever watched Ted from Everything Attachments abuse both a Kubota and a White Kioti (Bobcat) with one of his grapples on the front, wonders both how does the grapple survive and then wonder how did the tractors survive? That man is single handed the biggest tractor abuser I have ever seen. It makes you cringe just to watch some of the things he has done.

More tree, tractor, loader, grapple abuse.

This old simple designs that went for decades unchanged is easy to keep alive my MF135 is basically still in production, if you read this forum it's obvious that most Japanese manufacturers don't really care much for long time parts support, and short model life and constant redesign does not help much.

Large tractors are production tools, nobody uses a 50 year old machine in extensive production so that is not an important thing for customers.

But even in a CUT a dual command would be very useful and would not be an very expensive option on a open station tractor.
