I frequently work on my cars and use the OBD scanners/tools every now and then.
Does Kioti have something similar that works for it? Would car diagnostic scanners work on tractors too?
I'm not familiar with tractors, but I imagine they all have onboard computers and give errors codes like cars do...

Not on your life. This is the reason why so many tractor people will not upgrade to 'chipped' machines. The 'chipped' machine would either will stop working or go into limp mode. ONLY a dealer of that brand would be able to fix the issue or override the limp mode.

This is the reason for the 'Right to Repair' lawsuits and fights to pass legislation.

Kioti Tractor Compatible Diagnostic Scan Tool Fault Code Reader​

from Lawn & tractor offers the above code scanner. Is this a scam or real?

Depending on the machine’s protocol (“Computer language”) you might be able to use a J1939 truck scanner, but they’re very pricey and they won’t read all the codes.

I’ve done it with Deeres and they pick up some of the drivetrain faults but nothing else.

Some tractors will throw codes straight to the dash, and you can find those codes in your manual or through the manufacturers literature.

YMMV.

I’ve been thinking about ordering this one see if it will work. I started a thread a month ago or so to see if anyone had any experience with this one but no one seems to have any.

That website reeks of a scam to me, but IDK.

I bought the version for an LS. Hooked it up and it read all the correct stuff. Haven’t had to do any diagnostics with it, yet.
