I just bought a Kioti and really love the machine. But basic spare parts like oil filters and fuel filters are not easily accessible. I only say this because the Kubota parts always just seem more available and when needed are a 1 day or 2 day delivery away. Not so with Kioti parts. Just something to think about.
I have to disagree also as myself and no one I know has had any problem getting a part in reasonable time. Cross referencing filters isn't any harder fro Kioti as it is for any other tractor I have owned.
