I am getting my 65!! Looking forward to trying her out. Plan on mowing about 13 acres with it Sunday. This land has yet to be mowed this year!! I will be using my 12' Bushog.

No cab for me. It cost to much and would hinder me around trees. It will have the 1730KL loader w/7' quick attach/detach bucket.

I am taking my camcorder to take pictures of it loaded on my trailer.

Just talked to my dealer, and it turns out that I CANNOT pickup my tractor today!! I can't believe this, but the front tires are hitting the frame on the bucket!! According to the dealer, they have the wrong frame on it, and it has sliced one of the front tires!! I am going to look at it and take pictures.

Kioti better be prepared to get another nice email from me!!! This is rediculous!!!!!

You realize that Kioti does not make the loader a US company makes the loader for Kioti. ....

Peters, Yes I do. I believe it is in South Dakota. To my knowledge the loader was installed by Kioti in North Carolina. You would think they would have tested everything before it left the yard!

Tractor has ag tires on it, and the right front one is cut up pretty good. You can see the black marks on both sides of the loader frame.

Yes I am. Picked it up Friday night (late). They gave me a different choice of tires, so I went with the industrial tires, plus they gave me a free sunshade. I haven't picked up the shade yet.

So far my only complaint is lack of a 4wd light on the dash. I forget when I have it in 4wd.

One other complaint,, it won't fit it my garage,,LOL. I am going to take the stack off and put a chrome one on. That should give it a little more horsepower,,LOL!!!

It's too bad about the screw-ups. It sounds like they took care of you tho' Maybe I'll think a little harder about a Kioti!!! I'm still researching.

2ndHandLion,

I totally forgot about this site until Vince reminded me.

I have a little over 400 hours on it now. The only problem I have had is a little roll pin, (about 10cents broke). It holds the hand throttle on. I have not replaced it yet.

Tractor has always started, and loader has always performed great.

It has been a very very good tractor. ....
