That recipe worked for Honda.
Leave the Kioti a trust fund so somebody can restore it?

Love my NX, but I'm wondering how Kioti backs up the 20K hr claim. The video say it's for the NX Final Tier 4 engine, but to do an actual block test would take 2.3 yrs, running continuously 24/7. Do you suppose they've even had a prototype Final Tier 4 long enough for that? My guess is extrapolation, based on wear measurements after a much shorter period.

Wonder if anyone has asked Kioti corporate that exact question?? if they haven't and this is a (projected #) they will be wearing egg on the face IMO
But from the way most Kiotis seem to be built and run- my guess is they did do long term prototype runs on more than just one unit...
Computer simulations are fine and short term wear testing but nothing beats real world high load and extreme condition long term testing to prove a design.

The video basically claims the engine can go 3x longer than the 'competition'.
That's some pretty brazen marketing hype.

I wish fueling the CK was as easy as the NX
On the hours, I have a 1952 International Harvester Farmall H, main farm tractor, now 63 years old. Doesn't have an hour meter on it, but I would bet its got a lot. Fired up today in 20 degrees and ran like a song.
