I've had a Kioti 3054 for 2 years and love it. Perfect tractor for mowing with a 6 ft bush hog. I broke the shifting fork the first day but it was user error, engaged bushhog at high rpm, duh. I deal with D+J equip in Louisville and they fixed it fast and right. I'd recommend them as a dealer and Kioti as a tractor.

I'm confused about fluid filled tires.My 3054 Kioti has them.All i use tractor for is pulling 6' bushog.Works fine although ride is rough over rough terrain as one would expect.Are there advantages to removing the fluid and how do you do it?Does the added wt. affect tire wear or durability?Thanks in advance,Dave.

<br> If you've got a dealer handy, try a Kioti out.3054 is 30 hp w/ ps, shuttle shift, live pto, 4wd all standard.I pull a 6' bushog easily.<br> Should be able to get tractor w/ loader for about $14k.

Junior and Roger thanks for your input.It was the shifting fork,just broke into.Dealer said it had never happened in 5 yrs of selling Kiotis but while mine was there another one came in for same thing.The shifting fork looked cheaply made to me.Cast from what i'd call pot metal.Was big job to get to it.Wheels,fenders,seat all had to come off.Guess thats how dealer justified $195 labor.Total bill was $306 including extra hydraulic filter to be put on in 15 hrs.$23 for that was pretty salty but it works fine now and didn't take too long to get fixed.Any place to buy Kioti filters etc discounted?Thanks again for advice.Dave

Help.I just bought a Kioti 3054 tractor used w/144 hrs.Appeared to be very good.First thing i did was change hydraulic fluid.6 gal. required.I drained over 8 gal.out so it was filled way too full when i bought it although there is no leaks.Bought a new 6 ft Kingkutter bushog and went to work.Was really happy,able to go thru waist high johnson grass just fine.Now the problem;after 1 acre job was finished i couldn't get pto to stop.I kept working the pto lever and it would shift between 1000 and 540 but would not go in neutral.Finally it went to neutral but then it wouldn't engage again either 540 or 1000 rpm.The pto shift lever just slides up and back no friction.Links are intact on outside of trans. housing so something must have messed up inside.I took it to Kioti dealer.His shop manual didn't show much about pto so mechanic said he'd have to take it apart to diagnose as he'd never seen this before.Has anyone had this happen to them?Was really dissappointing to break it the first day.Any advice or guidance will really be appreciated.Either post message or e-mail.Thanks in advance.Dave
