Just purchased a new Kioti 7320 power shuttle with cab. Found this forum online and look forward to sharing information.

1 hour on tractor. If anyone has any good "break in" suggestions, please let me know. I asked the dealer and he didn't know anything. I know on new cars you should vary the speed and such for certain number of miles.

Welcome to TBN! Yes, you will find a bunch of info and help here! Go use the tractor...you will break it sooner or later.. oh, you mean a break in period...
When operating, you will automatically do different things / rpms, etc... there is not usually a certain procedure to follow. If there are any particular things, they would be described in the owner’s manual. Congratulations on the new tractor!

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Unknown how much experience you have with tractors but, the first thing that I would do is check all of the 'delivered' fluid levels and grease every nipple (zerk) that you can. Next would be to torque all of the wheel nuts (just to confirm) and then tighten every nut/bolt that you find. Lastly, if it moves, but doesn't have a grease nipple, spray it with a lanolin-based lubricant.

Enjoy the site... from wherever in the world you are.

Congrats on the new tractor and welcome to TBN. Other than checking fluids, torques, and making sure pivot points are greased vary RPM occasionally, which (as stated) will occur with various tasks anyway.

I've already broken 3 tractors! LOL That's why I had to get a new one! thanks for the comment. My concern is that I have a bit of hay cutting and brush cutting where the engine speed will most likely be constant for some time-hours. I know on cars/trucks, this is not good for breaking the engine in. I'll probably follow the guidelines for most diesel engines and try to work it at some various RPM's for a while. Thanks for your comments. The tractor arrives in a couple of days and I have not seen the manual.

All good things to be reminded of! and I do have some Berkebile PFC lanolin based spray that I use on a lot of things... great stuff! I'm in central Virginia, USA
