Could be the governor came apart on the inside, happened to me last year. Only one way to find out

Can you check to make sure the governor shaft is tight on the stem on the outside first? May have to pull the carb to get to it.

 

$440 would be nice! Noticed a guy here has a new one in the box listed for $400 Listed mine last night for $450 new in the box. I might put it together and try to sell it that way if I don’t have any luck.

 

Lucky! I decided I don't want to fool with a garden and put the tiller out by the road for $350. Plenty of people wanted to give me $100, yea no. I refuse to use Marketplace. But looking on Marketplace there's tons of tillers around here that are in the $200 range. Looks like I'm stuck with the darn thing. Meh, might dig up one row for some tomatoes and such

 

I just lowered it to $350. Just need it gone at this point.

 

I guess this is what happens when enthusiastic me meets the eff it me

Oh well, was only a little over $200... Definitely not the worst couple hundred bucks I've spent.

 

Great tiller for $200. Still a good deal for $350. I have already used my other one enough to pay for itself.

All about the green tractors big and small. Lots of extensive knowledge

 

That's where I'm going to start when I have time hopefully this weekend

 

I put mine together, in part because I wasn't 100% sure which machine I wanted to keep. I was also able to test start it and make sure it ran properly. So I do think it's easier to sell that way.

 

The guy who bought it saw my ad on Craigslist. I did have three people message me about it on FB, but none got beyond the is this available or what's the lowest you'll take stage before I marked it sold. The marketplace is the only part of FB I use, I created a dummy account using an old nickname from my younger years just so I could access the marketplace.

 

We're just getting into the prime season for tilling gardens, there are folks looking in the big box stores now. So it is a good time to post it up for sale.

 

I now have a fire extinguisher on my tractor. It's just a little one for now, but better than nothing.

 

Nice, I like where you put it where it won't get ripped off.......like mine did with the plastic bracket

My rollbar has sand in it, started coming out when I drilled the holes.

 

This i show I do it as well. I created a fake FB profile to manage my companies FB page, then use a fake profile from the fake employee profile and a fake google number to buy and sell stuff on FB. No one I deal with knows who I really am. It sounds confusing, but it makes buying and selling stuff from people way less stressful.

I have no profile on FB as I hate FB, but my company unfortunately has to have a page, so here we are.

 

Perhaps someone in the past fill the ROPs bar with sand in an attempt to add weight to the tractor.

 

Came from the factory like that, it's one piece and welded on both ends. Not sure if they did it for vibration or strength in the event of a rollover to keep it from collapsing.

 

I could see it maybe helping with vibration, but I don't think it would add any strength. Coming from the factory, I'd still think counter-weight for the loader as a more probable reason.

 

KR,

Did your seat tear early in its life too? Seems to be a Kioti thing......

 

I tore the seat last fall. I often have a knife in the lower leg pocket of my overalls. When getting on the tractor I inadvertently dragged the end of the clip pocket clip across the seat, putting a slight tear in the vinyl. To keep it from getting worse I put some tape and the seat cover on it. So completely my fault , not kioti's. Considering my weight the seats in pretty good condition...

 

@sdk1968 how long did it take for the finance Co to send you the title for your tractor once you paid it off?
