Wow, from excitement to getting your dream tractor to disappointment. I hope the dealer gets it corrected to your satisfaction. Hang in there.

No, wouldn't say it's a disappointment. I'll take these things over some sort of component failure. Operationally everything is fine. Just spread some more gravel with it today; raining and I was still dry- cab leak is minor (unless you shoot a strong stream of water at it). The significant issues have to do with the cab- cabs greatly increase the complexity of things.
And, it's not my "dream tractor." I save my "dreams" for how I want to shape the world around me (tools, such as a tractor, help in such work).

Unless they changed them, the tractor side of the toplink is cat1 3/4".
I have the 2x11 the second one that Eric linked too.

Good for you!

Just measured. The pins on the tractor side are 3/4"- Cat1. That end of the top link has a bushing. All seems kind of confusing to be having different configurations here.
I'll definitely defer to the seasoned folks on these kinds of things. I really appreciate those that have done leg work.

I'm running a CAT1 top link but I am running a CAT2 QuickHitch. A CAT1 quick hitch will fit the rear end better without knocking out the rear fenders and the cutters you're looking at a CAT 1 and CAT 2 quick hitch compatible. As you can see from my tractor, a CAT2 quick hitch will hit the fenders if the three point is up and the hydraulic top link is in the short position.

Eric, yes, I recall seeing/hearing about that! I think that that was in the back of my mind when I was thinking about whether to consider a quick hitch (one of the reasons I was shying away). Sigh, and I'd sold off my Cat 1 quick hitch some time back.
Just noticed that it doesn't look like your rear window has a defrost element in it. I was surprised to see that mine did. Maybe they're now stock?

Not sure if the loader arms settle down/equalize over a period of time. Out of fear of you seeking out institutionalizationlaughing
Here are a few random shots of loader work I've done.
Dug up my leach line with the loader, about 4 hours of time.
Moved the crusher fines into the barn and smoothed it out, about 3 hours of time.
With the pallet forks on, built the barn, used the loader every day for about 7 weeks.
Not a good shot but the last picture shows the gravel in front of the barn, moved and spread that also.
I love the tractor and have done lots with it as I'm sure you will also. But I think Kioti should at least see some photo's of how crooked the bucket looks---it just ain't right.
However, like you said; the tractor functions and works like it should, you are going to really love it.:thumbsup:

No option for a rear window defrost was available when I purchased mine, also appears from your pic of the rear service remotes they have changed to a different type of valve.

I don't remember having the option for rear defrost on mine either.
