Lack of response from Kioti on loader repair program

What purpose does his message serve? Just go buy another brand. Why do people feel the need to let us know these things? Buy yourself another brand and good luck to ya. Posts such as that have one purpose and as usual, Wallace responded with sensibility and class.

Some People yon can not please whatever You do. We call then RALPH. RALPH don't like Nothing.

Hello Backwoods, As Wallace stated, every brand on here will have issues. The problems i believe are when you have new design models, sometimes there will be issues, the Dk55 front end was one of them. These same issues are found on every color tractor out there . The ck and dk models have been out for 3 and 4 years now, they are solid performers.. As seen here, some of the Kioti dealers on TBN are as good as youll find, they are always helpful and informative. Ive got 2 years on mine and would buy another in a minute, its been a excellent machine. A quality dealer is the most important thing when buying a tractor, regardless of brand. The Kioti tractor is a very well built tractor. If you have specific model questions feel free to ask , your in the right place...

I am researching the purchase of a new tractor and was considering a Kioti, this info has raised some doubts.

Even though I don't have a Kioti, I would consider looking at them.

There's an excellent Kioti dealership near me where several people here have purchased from and they all have great things to say. All manufacturing companies have dealt with issues at one time or another, and most issues are dealt with in an appropriate manner.

Look at all of the brands you are interested in, and check out each brand at more than one dealership. I purchased only on brand and price, and would have purchased somewhere where I could have had a long term relationship if I had it to do over again.

Good luck!

Hodak,
You hit it on the head.. This is America, if you don't like something, don't buy it.
I learned that the hard way..
2001 Chevy 2500 w/ Duramax. in 130,000 miles, Chevy replaced the injectors 4 times. When the time came for set #5 (3000 miles after set #4), I surmised that Chevy and Bosch had no idea what they were doing and traded it in on an '07 Power choke.
Granted, Chevy repaired it each time, but 2-3 days in the shop wasn't getting it.
Will I buy another Chevy, probably. Just not another DMax.
I guess what gets me is, I didn't get on the internet and trash Chevy, I went and excersised my right of choice.

BTW, Isn't it about time for Neil to check in?

I found this web sight just after purchasing my( LONG awaited tractor) Kioti CK25 and the loader issue was the first thing I read. I immediately got that feeling in my stomach that O-boy you bought yourself some trouble. BUT than I let the tractor speak for itself by putting it to work and soon realized that it truly is a Great piece of equipment and supported by a good team of dealers. I Would Buy It again in a minute! I live in Western MA and have a good dealer...I will say that I am especially impressed in the effort Wallace puts into Helping people on a lot of different web sights and not simply answering to people in there general location...Great work and it shows they are in for the long haul.

To no one specific person:

It looks like the Kioti trolls are all jumping in again. You know, the posters who attack those who question that Kiotis may be imperfect, and the other ones who then jump in and attack the Kioti owners.
It would show more class and be of more help to answer the poster's (BackwoodsMan) questions about the tractor than to question his motives and attack his character.

As usual, Wallace's response was very helpful and professional...
Some of the other replies to BackwoodsMan were less so. This type of behavior also applies to members who own other brands too, who haven't jumped in yet this time.

BackwoodsMan, depends on which model you are looking at, the ck20 or ck25/ck 30 are the only ones with the loader cracking issue. I have the ck25 and I have cracks on my loader, but I would buy another Kioti in a second. If you really like the model and your concerned about a potential cracking issue you can always get a different brand loader like the woods or rhino. Remember not every kl120 or kl130 loader developed cracks. Like Wallace said the dealer is one of the most important keys in picking a tractor. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

Has anyone actually received a letter from Kioti?
