I was looking at the DK40SE HST, which was about 10000 less than the jd 4120. His price was just under $25000 out the door and the DK45SE HST was about $3000 more, both with loaded R4 and no cab. As much as I would love a cab in the winter it wouldn't fit in my garage and I would have to make all my woods roads larger to keep from hitting branches and breaking windows. I have thought about an excavator and with the lower price a backhoe could be in my future.

Was that with tax? I
I think the going rate now for the 40 hst is 23 ish before tax etc.
Sounds like there may be a little meat on the bone yet when you get serious.
When I bought my tractor there was 1500.00 price difference between the 40 and the 45, and another 1500 to the DK50.
FYI the PTO HP is 32.5 on the 40hst, 36 on the 45hst, and 37.5 on the 50hst.
I felt the for the 1500.00 price jump between the HP ratings the 45, was the best bang for my buck with the Cab as the AC. sucks some power.

I don't have the paperwork in front of me but it was just under $25000 with tax and having the rear tires loaded, I can't remember what the breakdown was.

Welcome to TBN
If you're not stuck on green, you can buy most other brands for less. Check to see what other brand dealers are in your area.
LS tractors like the R3039 and R4041 tractors are much lower priced than the quote you have. For 27K you can get an XR4040HC with cab.

I have heard that pricing varies by region, paulfun9 got a screaming deal.
Seams like folks are paying 21 to 23 depending on where they live.
Way cheaper than the Deere in any case, and a very nice and capable tractor.
I would go back and tell him, you will take it for that price, if they put a third function valve on, with a rocker switch on the joystick, plumbed to the front crossmember on the loader to run a grapple bucket.
You got your first quote, so you need to go back and try and chew a little more meat off the bone on the final sale
Maybe he will meet you half way on the third function valve, or maybe you will you will get it.
I doesn't hurt to try, I got the third function valve, and a mechanical thumb on the hoe added for 500.00 more than my first quote for just the tractor and hoe, I loaded the rear tires myself. (old tire guy)
Keep in mind the DKs come standard with the quick attach bucket, so anything that you can put on a skidsteer you can put on the front of a DK, pallet forks, grapple buckets etc...These are a deluxe tractor, with many features other brands don't offer, or charge more for:thumbsup:
Also you will get a better deal on the hoe if you are going to get one, if you buy it now with the tractor.
The DK takes the KB2485 backhoe, this is a subframe mount unit, I can take mine off in about three minutes and put it back on in less than 10.
When I bought my tractor the end of May last year, the hoe was 6500.00 additional when purchased with the tractor.
Good luck

Is that with a cab and backhoe?
The best price I got for the 3039 with loader and backhoe was about a thousand less but I felt a bit cramped on them and they protested when I tried running them in high gear. Kabota, Kioti and TYM all were able to use high gear with no issues but with the LS it was a struggle to get it rolling.
