DK45 HST cab

cag · Oct 7, 2008

Any news on when the new DK45 cab will be coming out? And would anybody have pics or info on this new design? Can it handle a 78" snowblower? Would the windows freeze up. Will the heater prevent freeze up and does it come with a rear wiper? I'm thinking of trading in my CK30 and I have not yet seen the DK45 HST cab in person, my dealer has not received this tractor yet. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Charlie

The DK45SE Cabs have started to arrive. They will start being available to dealers during October. Full specs will be available soon since, the prototypes and production models may be slightly different.

We've seem them, they are a very nice cab tractor.

I have them and the 40's on my lot.
From the looks of the vents in the cab it looks like they will have no problem keeping up with the changing weather conditions.
As far as a 78 inch blower it should handle it with ease.
I am 95% sure they come with a rear wiper standard.

Thank you.. I have one more question regarding the rear tire, I will be going with R4, would my 72" snowblower cover wide enough...Thanks Charlie

The loader bucket is a 72" bucket so it should be very close.

Gees when I went to order one the dealer said they would have them on there lot by now. That was 5 weeks ago. I didn't wait and went with Kubota not that there was anything wrong with Kioti but It took me a few weeks to tweek the bota to get it ready for the snow clearing I needed it for. Yesterday we had so much snow two hours from where I live they had all the plow trucks out on the road.

I just find it strange that with so much interest in this tractor you would think a dealer that has one would post a few pictures. I'm betting it's a very nice machine but theres still no sign of them showing up here.

Sorry guys I just didn't post any because I wasn't ready for the mad rush

How about one of these instead of the 40 or 45 cab?

wallace · Oct 10, 2008

Or maybe pick from one of many(TO MANY if you ask Amy!)tractors on my lot!!!

Would the 90 pull a 4 bt. 18 in plow and a 18 ft disc?

wallace · Oct 10, 2008

Hmmm.. That I am not sure of but if you buy it and it don't, I will trade it in on a bigger tractor.

Yeah Rick...I was wondering when those other "red" tractors are going to start showing up around there?!?!

Hey Rick, great looking tractor/tractors. The 45 looks nice. Thanks for posting some pics. If I were around your area you would have sold me a Kioti

You had snow? And you didn't drive over to try out your tractor?

Wallace, you are making me envious with your selection...

Oh 4shorts...when the Kiotis arrive on the rock you can always trade up!!!!

Rick, just how many brands are you trying to sell? What next John Deere, New Holland?

Maybe Challenger instead of Massey, just for a color change.

Pretty cool that you are able to sell that many-different tractors.

We are trying to be like the shopping mall!

Actually I have been beating on Kioti and Mahindra for a lot of years now telling them I need a tractor that can take a loader, belly mower, and backhoe combo.
I also need tractors that can take a front mount blower, broom and a snow plow with out having to custom build everything.

I know MF is more money than Kioti and Mahindra, but when a customer wants something and I can offer it, other than telling him/her that I don't have what they need, now I can sell them what they want and show them why spending a little more with my dealership will be worth it virses going down the road.

Not only that but MF was big in our area before the dealer went out a couple years ago. I am hoping to pick up on the parts and service of the past MF customers.

I think that's a good strategy. I've had a Mahindra and Kioti and like the Masseys(not that excited about the 400/500 series). Also, Massey seems to have other equipment that would be complementary as well.
