Update on loader repair program from Kioti Jan 30

rback33 · Mar 7, 2007

The 451 is used almost exclusively. The 1590 was never really used at all because it is a slightly less capable loader that is very similar to the 451. The 1470S is a smaller, non self-level loader that IS cheaper, but few realize it is an option. Kioti has plenty of them in stock as well. The 1470S is updated with better roll back capacities to boot.

Thats interesting. Of all the 45S owners I know, including myself, the 451 loader was the only option. The other loaders from what I have seen were mounted on the older style 45 not the 45S. My 45S came from Kioti with the 451 loader already installed. I had no choice. I'm very pleased and impressed with the 451 capabilities. Those tractor companies sure don't make anything easy when they have different loaders for the same tractor. Sure have to be careful when comparing numbers. I can see where some would get confused.

I can't imagine spending all that money on the tractor and trying to save a few dollars on the loader? Even if you are one of the few that insist you won't use the loader much.

Like I said, I have not seen a 45S with any other loader than the 451. I can assure you that I use the loader majority of the time that I'm using the tractor. I pesonally believe, just from my experience, that the loader is stronger than the numbers published. I have moved alot of logs, shale, gravel and firewood with no problems, or cracks, at all. Lets just say I have not found anything that it won't pick up yet.

The 1470S is NOT self-level either. Which is a feature I am not real fond of anyway.. at least not mechanical self-level. I LOVE hydraulic self-level however.

My JD did not have the self leveling loader and when I switched to the Kioti I wasn't crazy about it at first but now that I've had a chance to really use it I enjoy that feature.
