@@HardyBrothersOutdoors I've had mine a long long time lol. Bought them for my 9n took them off when I sold it and put them on the 3600 ford I bought and took them off it when I sold it and bought the 2038R and put them on it and they still work like the day I bought them and that covers 10 -12 years of use. They should send me a new set with all the sets I have sold for them lol. I tell anyone that will listen
My JD purchasing experience seems he same as yours, Josh -- no warm and fuzzy, but maybe they perceived I had already done my research??? I would have liked a bit more attention as a first-time tractor buyer, although, it seemed that I had better knowledge than the delivery guy, who attempted to show me a few things (some incorrectly!) when he brought it out to me. My decision was really driven by the fact that our property is essentially surrounded by JD dealerships, so figured it was a safe bet in terms of service whenever I should need it. Still happy with my 2038R!
Lots of room for improvement. The dealerships that serve the buyer vs sell the buyer will do best in the long run. JD and Kubota have a brand perception advantage but that will be tested with all the options in the market. I too still like my 2032R but I’ve been impressed this far with the Solis. Can’t wait to get my hands on some of the larger tractors.
I think there are a lot of good options out there... just have to weight what's most important in your purchase criteria. I went Green but now with the Solis I realize if I were to buy again I'd do a lot more comparison shopping to see what I'm getting for my money... O-H I-O!
Howdy Josh! I've heard good things about the Kiotis. One of the biggest considerations when I buy another compact is having access to a local dealership. Bad thing about my Mahindra is... no dealers near me. And most of the smaller repair shops around here won't touch them lol. So far, it has only been an issue once but that one time it was a pain in the butt! So living in the sticks does have it's drawbacks lol! I have my new tractor criteria video on the whiteboard for future videos. No need to rush into that one until i get closer to buying one. Great job - thanks for sharing 🤠 Oh and I almost forgot - It is 2:25pm and *ichigan still sucks! GO BUCKS! lol
*ichigan who? lol Service is definitely key... Sounds like it played a factor in Jason's purchase here for sure. I really enjoyed hearing his story... We all have our criteria and reasons and obviously they aren't the same or so many brands couldn't exist. Go BUCKS!
was it a 70,000 numbered address or later down the road when it became cs.com? I have to say it was one of the coolest companies I ever worked for and sadly in 25 years haven't found anything like it...
@HardyBrothersOutdoors I've been pulling stumps an moving dirt for about 20 hours now an the tractor is running great it takes all i send at it damn thing is like a tank an power up the you know what!
I bought a 2022 DK6010SE Cab almost exactly one year ago today. I first noticed a problem at hour 15 with what sounded like a cavitation in the hydraulic pump. One year later, and 6 times in the shop for weeks at a time and there is no known fix. Kioti sent a factory rep out for me to show the problem to about 3 months ago. He told me that they have seen this problem in about 1% of these larger DK’s and they have no fix for it. I demanded a new one to replace it and that went nowhere, then I asked for my money back but that too is not an option. They offered to buy it back but after months of waiting for a buyback figure, I am being ignored and avoided like the plague. I am beyond pissed off because the dealer and the factory have been blowing me off almost like they just want me to trade it somewhere or live with it. I will not do either. The factory asked for a picture of the hour meter, I told them that the problem started after just a few weeks, and likely was there from day one I just didn’t notice it and it has progressively gotten worse. The dealer told me to keep using it as I won’t hurt the machine, which in my opinion is bull, the machine has been getting abused every time I use it from the thumping and slamming and shaking. I don’t want another Kioti anymore, not even for free, I have had 3 Kubota tractors and NEVER had any problems with them, and I work them hard. I know there is a bad apple once in a while with any brand, but the way Kioti has handled this is just plain wrong and will end up costing me thousands of dollars because the prices of tractors have gone up so much recently. I am beyond upset and will never own another Kioti product EVER.
Sorry to hear this, sounds like a nightmare experience. Maybe we can shoot a video together and tell your story… I got John Deere’s attention 4 years ago when bolts were falling out of my 2032R. Maybe we can get Kioti to take notice. Where are you located? If not local maybe we can do a zoom video or something and have you shoot some video if your machine and its issues for me to drop in. Just an idea. Bad press may get them to listen.
Buy another Kioti? Not on your life!!! Bought a 2022, I've put 67 hours on it and the dealer has to replace the starter for the FIFTH time!! And the warrenty runs out in May. Also have to wait for this starter to get here by boat 🤬
Yikes! Sorry to hear that and thank you for sharing your story. My buddy in the video has had great luck, but he's had his for a few more years so must have been a decline in quality.
No I wouldn’t buy a kioti tractor again. Their warranty is worthless. They say you’ll be covered for 6 years. Catch is that is unless you have an issue such as hydraulic
lol , as an IT guy , I can relate to this. I want a tractor
CompuServe give ya a feeling of nostalgia?
You'll never regret the Pat's quick hitch but take your time installing them following the instructions and enjoy
It’s on my list to get. I think it looks like the best solution out there especially with the top link.

@@jimbennett1519 I'm listening! haha... I was just researching them online this morning. 😁
Excellent video guys! Great casual but Informative conversation. I have the same tractor except the cab.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was my first time seeing a Kioti tractor up close. Seems like a good tractor and my friend Jason really likes his.

Go Bucks, I’d buy a Kioti. Would not be my first pick. I’m partial to Blue and Green.

I bought a kubota b7500 in 2000. The only part that needed replaced was the battery 18 years later
That's an outstanding testimonial! I've never had a Kubota have heard more good than bad. Thanks for sharing!
@@HardyBrothersOutdoors Kubotas are reliability monsters!
Great video!
You’re making some cash tonight Josh! 😉
I wish! Lol. Andrew I wish… maybe one of these days! Haha
I had a CompuServe account!

My 4020 kioti works great
I've heard good things and my buddy Jason really likes his!

@@HardyBrothersOutdoors thx. That is my intention. But I'd like to find out what they are going to buy it back from before making too many waves.
I won't be alive to see it,but I am sure that the kioti won't be around and still working when it's as old as that to30
You sir may just be correct. Makes me wonder about all of these compacts and I’d they will stand up to the test of time.
TO30 was a 1952. Ran strong, when it ran. Could still find parts for it.
