Harvey, thank you for posting. It's very helpful to the rest of us Kioti K9 owners. I am definitely interested in hearing about your clutch upgrade. I'm hopeful you find a suitable better replacement.

Harvey, let us know how the replacement clutch goes. Matching non OEM parts can sometimes be difficult. Thank you

Have you looked in the "files" section (go to the top of the forums, click download button)? People have kindly uploaded wiring diagrams for other Hisun models, and what looks like a Hisun 800 service manual. Disconnected plugs *MAY* be wiring for optional accessories, such as light bars, etc. Best of luck!

I own the Kioti K-9 2440. I purchased it back during the pandemic when Deere and Kubota could not be found in inventory. I previously owned a 2012 John Deere 855 D and ran it for 10 plus years on a commercial poultry operation 7 days per week. It had over 5500 hours on it when I sold it to an employee and purchased the Kioti. The K-9 has not been a reliable unit. With only 750 hours logged, it's spent over 3 months at the dealership for miscellaneous repairs, mostly clutch and drive-line issues. The diesel engine has been great. It's now down again. The primary CVT clutch separated. I carried it back to the dealership and they quoted me a repair estimate of $2,290 to replace the primary and the belt which is only about 6 months old. Declined his offer and retrieved the unit from the dealership. Today, I finally had the time to pop the primary clutch off and discovered the back side of the pulley completely separated from the clutch assembly. I'm now looking a better clutch option. Obviously, the OEM won't cut the mustard. I've contacted Mother Clutches. Hopefully, they have an aftermarket that will be a little more durable.
