I like my Kioti, about 9 years old (2012 I believe) until I discovered many intricate parts are discontinued. The backhoe control spool and links, cylinders. Its only 10 years old, PARTS DISCONTINUED. CANT GO KIOTI>
I dont quite understadn the comments. However, im jsut saying I could not find any replacement parts to fis the controller and spool. The swing boom control is almost stuck, no slight touch to control it. I have the LB 1914 199 Hp. 4WD. The Control box was made by NIMCO, huge company, but no longer offers a replacement controller. After taking it apart and cleaning it, not any better. My next move is to hone the spool cylinder out, its 1/2 inch. I went all the way to find dealers, shops and even the corporate office for Kioti (Korean) but NJ location. They checked, no longer available. I would be very leary of getting a Kioti, now that I know they will stop supplyiing parts to fix your hydraulics. Bummer.
Make sure to thoroughly grease the cross bars in the back and front of the backhoe frame. Makes reattaching much easier. 👍
I like the T shirt!
TM is exactly the same thing. They sure take a lot of floor space with that frame. Harder to do on ruff ground
It sure does take up some space, i rarely take it off since i don't want to store it anywhere in the shop! 2A all the way! 🙂

That sure can be an issue.
Wiggle the controls. That will release pressure on the hydraulic connections.
that pretty slick using that floor jack

Question: before retiring the tractor for the Winter, is there a way to relieve the hydraulic pressure so its not a problem in the Spring ??
Put blocks under your frame when you take off
I thought the frame stayed on the tractor? This is easier?
It's just two pins and it all slides off! I was impressed on how easy it was!
Based. PS nice shirt!!!
