Need addvise

Forget about Connie. You are a resourceful guy who can figure out a way to get it to your selling dealer if necessary. You may have had trouble with them in the past but your 4 year warranty is something we here on TBN will do our best to see it is warranted, and repaired, as it is what Kioti owes you as their customer.
Contact the dealer owner tomorrow and request his help.

I would rather not have to figure a way to get it to new jersey. As when they delivered it with gashed tires in the back . I don't trust they would fix it any way. Tired of the stress there giving me i would rather find a kioti dealer here to fix it and give them the business. As my gramp says i gave them two many chances in the past to make it good with out a fight. Tires, 3pt hitch problem .

Thought it was a local Maine dealer. You know best as to what's going to work for you- so I guess a local dealer is the way to go for you.

MotorSeven,
Can you say more about these tractor having head gasket problems? I was aware of the DK-55 series but not the DK-40s.

Going from foggy memory here, but according to my dealer, the CK20/40/45/50/55 all get up-graded head gaskets when they come in for repair. He has repaired mostly the Ck20 series and a few of the DK's. If I remember correctly the bad gaskets did not have a infused metal, & the new one's do.

No i called them they never called back. So i called whittemore & sons
Skowhegan maine they are closer to me then batchelder

$500 to haul a tractor 200 miles round trip is not acceptable....imho.

Did you check your fuel filter?

LAK, I bought my Dk40 from Whittemores and Sons. They treated me very good during my first six months when my tractor had a reoccurring hydro leak. Hopefully they treat you as good as the treat me. Goog luck.

I have never auctually done buisness with them. I have only called for parts prices. Parts guy was very helpful but parts were quite a bit above prices stated on this forum. I would go to them in a heartbeat if I had too, but I would try to get a firm price on anything not covered by your warranty. Like you, they are my closest dealer.

So it look like i wont be bringing it to the dealer. I thought it was weird that someone suggested the head gasket there is no sign of leaking into the oil the oil is clean and radiator fluid is fine. So started it to today no issues started fine no water coming out no white smoke i think i had a bad batch of diesel after darning the Tank again and new diesel and k1 mix runs fine. So i wont take it for now will see how it is when it gets cold again. If it has a hard time then i will bring it.
