A big thank you to Kioti and Rick Wallace! Kioti sent out new loader arms for my CK30 and Jennings Equipment in Puyallup put them on under warranty! It's been a long road because the original dealership PENINSULA FEED & POWER EQUIPMENT would not help me at all when I bought the tractor used from the original purchaser about a year and a half ago. Wallace helped me with the warranty registration although his dealership is a continent away. I then sent a letter to Kioti. The people at Kioti at first wanted to put the clamp on fix on the loader but since Peninsula had done some welding that also failed they agreed to replace the loader arms. I had just asked for a discount or reduced price but it looks like it's an all or nothing thing for them. I didn't want to jinx it by posting about it while in the process. A week and a half ago I took the loader arms off of the tractor and took them to Jennings. They swapped out the hydraulics from the old arms onto the new ones. Last Thursday I went down picked them up and my wife and I wrestled them back onto the tractor. I had to take the bucket off because I only have a little Ford Ranger for transport. I greased it up and moved a half a dozen loads of rocks today. The new arms are much more rigid.
My work bought a matching orange two whealer because it takes too long for me to get to some of the places I need to go on foot and I don't want to bang up the Expedition. It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it.
