Advice wanted on new 2013 kioti dk40se hst cab vs 2015 LS xr4046hc

[MXrider454]

I am looking to purchase a new tractor soon and I have narrowed it down to two tractors. Front runner at the moment is a new left over 2013 dk40se hst with cab for $28500.00 I know these dk series tractors are hard to find now . The other tractor is a Ls xr4046hc for $28000.00. The LS dealer is about a 100 miles from me and the kioti dealer is about 30 miles . I have spent hours researching and would like some opinions. Thank you very much.

You can't go wrong with either so the question is do you like blue or orange?

 

[MXrider454]

Very true. I think like orange slightly more plus dk has a tier 3 motor that I like over the tier 4 motors .
Thank you

Which platform you like better? Sit on both then decide but I think that dk is gonna sell fast.

I like the lay out of the dk more. I am about %99.9 I am going to go with the dk unless the LS dealer comes back with a crazy deal.

If you buy the Dk get the second remote installed. And make sure they adjust the throttle lever as its too tight.

Just remember that the LS is a slightly more powerful tractor. It also has another remote and I think some extra goodies that the DK does not have. On the flip side, the Kioti dealer is closer and the DK is tier 3. Both are great tractors, as both are the same price, I think the LS, as it is a bigger tractor, is the slightly better deal. The XR4046 is closer to the NX4510 than the DK. However, both are very close, so I think personal preference is the overriding factor at this point. As I said though, the LS is a bit bigger.

Thanks I will try to get them to throw in the second remotes if I got with them.

I was looking for a dk45 but can not find them or the dk50 around me. The NX series goes up about 3-4k on price I believe. I am still waiting to hear back from a couple dealers.

The 45 or 50 won't make any real difference, except more $$ up front. Too many $$ for just the small increase in HP, IMO.
Compare loader lift capacities on the DK vs. the LS, and if the LS is Tier 4 I'd chose the DK because it's NOT Tier 4.
Get the rear tires loaded too.
What are your primary uses going to be?
