Kioti maintenance intervals

[dennis52]

When my dealer's mechanic did my 50hr service on the farm, he said the general standard for tractor hydraulic services was 1000 hrs for fluid and 500 hrs for filter (after the first 50 hour)

Now my Warranty agreement states clearly that the services have to be done by a recognised dealer. Can this be mandated?

With many of us doing our own services during the warranty period , what will Kioti expect in the way of acceptable documentation if a warranty issue arises?

My tractor did not come with a service interval sheets (like a new car) that requires signatures.
So I have just photocopied the maintainence schedule and signed and dated that .
I might also keep copies of oil and filter receipts.

?? I contacted Kioti and they told me that I can do my own maintainance. I have to keep all dated invoices, and a basic log to show when the work was done.

No one can force you to use a dealer for repairs. KEEP ALL PAPERWORK

Environment makes a huge difference in wear. A unit that mows golf courses full time will show far less engine wear than one working in a dusty gravel pit.
Tthe powder fine sand in Iraq destroyed engines at an alarming rate. Apparently it was too fine for the air filters to catch.

I wonder if the military was using some sort of K&N washable filter?
