My little Kioti tractor has never given me any issues. I e owned it for a few years. Bought it new in 2019 and it has all but retired my 3000 Ford. I use it for bushhogging, mowing, scraping, digging, plowing, I haven't come across much this machine wouldn't do. Haters are going to hate. There are thousands of these tractors. The people that own them and use them daily. They're all over Facebook, so if you want an honest review or talk to people before you buy, go look there.
