Looking at kioti reliability

[cag]

Dont get me wrong Iam not trying to put the product down.Iwill be a first time buyer soon and would like to know if they measure up to lets say kubota. Im looking at kioti model ck20tlb and lk3054x5tlb /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The Kioti repairman is Maytags repairman's brother. Some dealers and rental yard owners will chime in to attest to that. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

For me, only 30 hours, so far so good.

go through every post in the Kioti forums . I don't think you'll find much as far as these machines giving problems to their owners . I don't think they( Kioti ) have to look over their shoulders as to fit, finish, power,value , or reliability .
If you read my bio , you'll know I don't own one . So I am not selling you on a make of machine . However ,given the current changes (hst 's in the 30 hp range) , if I were in the market now ,I'd sure be looking hard at this brand .
I own an L3130 , and love it . But then it just seemed to fit me and my needs . You just need to sit on everything you can,test them all against your needs ,and then decide .
BTW a good dealer is probably as important , or more important than your choice of tractor . John

We have been a dealer for over 3 years and have had no warranty work on any products sold or any complaints from customers about performance--It is also like the "Maytag Repairman" described above, around our 2 stores in Central Ky--Ken Sweet
Sweet Farm Equipment LLC *2 Locations in Central Kentucky---In our 27th Year*

So far, 2 years and just over 200 hours on a DK 35 my only complaint has been the roll back power of the loader.
As for the tractor itself I have never had a single problem.

For what it's worth, I've been shopping and researching for a while now, and I have a while to go before I can buy.

I've had the opportunity to look at and test drive just about every color out there. I'm trying to stay totally color blind, so that when I finally can pull the trigger, I'll be buying the machine that best fits my needs and budget.

I have to say that I keep coming back to the Kioti's, although there is a blue one that I like too! The Kioti's really impress me. I'm especially fond of the DK35 or DK40 machines. I am absolutely convinced that if I bought a Kioti, I would never regret it.

But I also have to say that the same can be said for the other colors too. For me, the deciding factor will, in all likelihood, be the dealer. And right now, I don't have many (ah, none!) Kioti dealers available to me. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Good luck with your search! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Garry,
Make a "test drive trip" to Ohio and make sure Kiohio has what you want in stock, and you can probably take it home with you....... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
