Had mine for 4 years now:
I have been far from hard on this tractor and it has had problems over and over again. I've been fixing it for a long time now, I'm tired of not being able to use my tractor when I want to.
1. The back hoe has broken, so I'm working on that now too. One of the ears on the "left-right" hydraulic cylinder broke off, yes, the center of the ear broke. I was digging in dirt and gravel at the time. This doesn't include the 2 times I've replaced the linkage in the BH controls with the plastic end.
2. The starter quit working for a couple of years. I would just jump the hot on the starter to get it to start. My dealer when out of business a few months after I bought mine, so it is an hour + to the next closest dealer, and I don't have a trailer big enough to haul it. Recently, it has started working again. I can just turn the key and it starts.
3. The diff lock doesn't work anymore, actually that was the first problem I had with it. I've just been dealing with it.
4. I got a recall for the FEL, I guess they'll pay for that, but I have to pay to get it there, gee thanks.
When it works, it is a fine tractor. I saved money by buying it. If I had it to do over, I'd look into Kioti more.
