What a bummer....I just looked at Jennings website and no Kioti anywhere. I bought my CK25 there about four years ago. I'm beginning to lose faith.....

Where's the next closest dealer?

Depending on your location Ethel, Hoquiam, Longview or Yakima.

Thanks for that info. Unfortunately I'm up north of Monroe so I'm probably a good 140 miles from the nearest which I believe would be Ethel. Do you know which of them are a full service shop? I suppose since I'm about out of warranty Jennings may still do the service. I'm at 315 hours and fear the injector pump failure that seems pretty common for the early models. I'm also having the Intermittant ignition switch problem and need to replace the leaky hydro cooler. Looks like I'll need to mail order my parts.

I'm coming up on 1000 hours with the OEM pump on my 2005 tractor, don't worry about it until it happens. Jennings will work on any brand machine, it appears, as I've seen some odd balls in their shop. You know they still have the books and the same techs that were working on Kiotis before. Surely we'll have to wait longer for parts to come in since they can't stock anything.

I know that I would try using Jennings before driving to Longview.

Don't know if they could do warranty for you but there is Bobcat dealer in Monroe, most parts are the same however the ignition switches are not at least for the CK20. The only shop I have used is Longview. Don't know much about the others.

I'm not sure that Jennings will be able to do any work on Kioti's. They told me they could not get parts, not even filters. You might get a different story if you speak with someone else. I definitely got the impression they were totally out of the Kioti business.

As for fuel pumps, mine died around 600 hours. I was fortunate that Kioti covered it.

I guess I better not be running over any more heavy branches. I can't afford to have another oil mount break off.

You have to wonder if Bobcat will take a Kioti in trade.
