JB,How about modifying your motto to read:

There is no such thing as a bad tractor but,some have better seats than others.
What do ya think??.............Mike

No problems with my seat /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif, or tilt steering.

55 hours and counting.

My seat cushion is cracked and separating on one side where the seat turns upwards for the back. Has quite a bit of flex there also. I've not torn into it to see how bad the metal crack is though. Ted DK45

Mike, thanks for the input. Maybe Kioti will fix this problem and I won't have to change my motto.

I have found that all vinal seats crack in time. Depending where you put your hand getting off/on, below 0 weather and tools in your pocket. Ford and Cub both. bcs

Maybe the oldtimers had something with those metal clam shell tractor seats.
Kind of strange that Kioti could make such a great machine and then fall short on seats and written material...go figure......Mike

Considering the predictions of Kioti's failure, I think seats and manuals are minor. Oh and don't forget that nasty tilt steering wheel knob. Such problems if we picked at the big three auto makers this way we would have a list that would goto the moon and back. As with any new model of tractor there are alwasy some problems some big and some small these are minor and are being addressed by Kioti.

Hi Fella's

It has not happened quickly but it has happened. I got a new seat for the tractor today. The dealer got a new seat, striped it bear back and bottom reinforced the metal work repainted it, then sent it to the local upholsterer. He tailor made a new vinyl cover out of marine grade material. Looks like quality now. I think this will last a life time now. And the dealer told me to keep the old seat.
What beter service can you get.
Well done to my dealer and Daedong corporation, you both have a bright future.
