Kioti Tractor Clutch Steering Hydraulics failure

I just got done paying my dealer close to $650.00 to fix this. I had the same problem, turn key to any position and completely dead. Turns out it was the wiring harnesses on the right hand side of the tractor. Apparently what happens if you don't use the tractor enough is the pins inside the wiring harnesses on these tractors, gets corroded and then burns right off. My suggestion is to find out which harness/harnesses are bad and replace the wiring harnesses and put some dielectric grease on ALL connectors. It can also be as simple as the ignition switch. An ignition switch costs about $58.00. My tractor is over 5 years old and only has about 130 hours on it. This summer I am going to pull all connectors apart and put dielectric grease on all connections. Hopefully I won't have this problem again.

I'm wondering if you diesel experts on this board could tell the rest of us "Non diesel experts", your suggestions on starting up and shutting down a small diesel engine like our little Kioti ck20's. After a hard work out is it okay to just idle the engine down and turn it right off, leave it run at about 1000 rpm's for say five minutes, or another procedure. Also, starting the engine, is it okay to set the throttle at around 1000 rpm's area and start the engine, or is it better for the engine to start on an idle? <br>

I have a question regarding the proper shutdown of the CK-20HST. After say an hour of working the tractor, what is the suggested shutdown of the engine. Idle for five minutes at around 1000 rpms, shut it right off after bringing to an idle, or another method? I've heard some say it is okay to turn it right off and others say to let it idle around 1000 rpms for about five minutes before turning off the key. Or does it even matter?<br>

I just purchased a Kioti CK-20 HST. It does have a clutch pedal. You need to have the clutch pedal pushed down to start the tractor and to shift from Hi to Lo or Lo to Hi ranges, just like mentioned above. One other thing though, the clutch pedal has a hook that you can lock the pedal in the "down" position - (disengaged), if you will not be using your tractor for a few months. This prevents the clutch disc from rusting to the clutch plate thus making for an interesting start on the next time you want to use your tractor. It has been known that tractors with clutches, no matter who made them, can have this occur if the tractor is stored for several months without being used. Whos would ever drem of storing a tractor like that for several months without using it. I try to find things to do with mine all the time, even driving around the back yard.
