Dealer Dealer question ref DK40/45

[MotorSeven]

All this talk about the 40 & 45 has me scheming..er, a..thinking. However, according to the Kioti site, i cannot get the KL1470 or 1590 loader on an HST? Correct or no?

I think those are the older loaders designed for the original DK series. The new DK series comes with only the KL351 (for DK35se) or KL401 (for DK40se and DK45se). Only the new DK series can be had with HST.

 

[wallace]

Islandtractor is correct.

 

[MotorSeven]

Hmmm, then i'm limited to a 60" bucket. I'll have to see what Woods has to offer.

Nope. Mine came with a 72" bucket standard. You have to be careful taking what is on the Kioti website at face value. They don't have it correct all the time. Check with your dealer or someone like Rick and they can give you the real scoop.

 

[wallace]

Standard bucket or should I say the only bucket Kioti has to offer is a 72 inch on the DK40 and 45se and also the DK45S
The DK35se is standard with a 66 inch.

Who can argue with Rick? Well, besides maybe the wife. And IT is usually on point w/ the Kioti tractors.

I have a kioti dk45se w/ 6' bucket. Woods makes some nice buckets too, but my Kioti bucket was cheaper (according to the dealer and the deal he gave me). Good luck on your search.

Interesting, when I got my DK35 in 05 it came with the 72" bucket and I didn't order anything as an option.

The old style DK35 came with either a 66" or 72" you also have an American (KMW) made loader.

or even a 60"

Rick, you killing me....can't you see i am trying to talk myself out of upgrading . WIth the 4.9% financing & the payoff on my CK30 at 10K, visions of DK's are dancing thu my head. Now the vision has a quick detach 72" loader bucket..........

Ya and all you need to do now is tell me when you want it.

 

[BTI]

The 351/401/451 are all very nice loaders and typically come standard with the QA plates and grill guard.
We like them better than the 1470S/1590.

Watch out, been there, done that!

You talk to this guy then a short while later a truck arrives with a big orange tractor and before you know it there is an exchange and your little orange tractor is driving off into the sunset. You barely need to lift a finger (I do recall needing to lift a pen for a few moments though).

It's so easy it's just plain scary. Almost as complicated as ordering take out pizza with delivery.

(Please Mr. Kioti don't come out with a cab version too soon. I love my DK just the way it is despite being chased by wasps and all that noise, dust, heat and cold.)

They need to bring out the hydro cab tractors asap! I brought home my first tractor a week ago, put it on craigs list, and sold it in 4 days for $4,500 more than I paid for it! I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and I want a hydro cab tractor! I like the idea of a dk45se cab tractor but I might have to go with a blue tractor if I can't get info on the kioti soon.

 

[BigDogues]

I'll second that. I've been waiting for a HST cab for a very, very long time.
And backyardtrack, anytime you want to sell my tractor for me just let me know.

Ok, now I am in trouble. About 6 months ago I mentioned to my dealer that I may want to step up to the 40/45 HST. He tells me that he would most likely have to order it because he usually stocks gear tractors. So I am driving by today, minding my own business{went out of my way to stop in}, and he's got a DK40se 4x4, 401 FEL, HST, Ag tires, 72 bucket brand new just sitting there on the lot{wow}. So I had to trudge inside{practically ran} and get him to do some figuring. It already has a brush guard & one set of rear remotes. Tell me if I am missing anything optionwise:

1. Another set of rear remotes
2. Top & side tilt for the 3 point
3. 7 brush hog
4. 7 HD box blade
5. Bale spear
6. Pallet forks
7. Toothbar

Now, he had a 55 sitting next to it with a Bush Hog Loader on it with the larger volume 72 bucket. It looks to be well over a 3rd larger & I can swap out the Kioti bucket for this one. I just don't know if the loader can handle the larger bucket filled with gravel, but he say's we can throw it on and give it a try.

The sunshade from the CK will swap, keeping the PH digger, trading in the CK30, 5 hog & 6 HD box. He's working up the numbers. When I left it started to rain & that new machine was getting wet.....needs to be in my shed. I swear I heard it sigh as I drove off........

That is almost exactly the DK40se set up I have. The only thing I see missing on the tractor list is loaded tires. Get them loaded. I didn't out of exaggerated concern about extra weight on an old barn floor and will now need to load them myself. The loader is too powerful not to have the tires loaded.

I have a 75" flail mower and would have gotten a six foot bush hog. The rear track really is close to 72 inches. I would imagine you could run a 7ft hog without too much trouble unless it is a heavy duty model. Same point about the box blade.

Where are your backhoe and grapple?

 

[MotorSeven]

Island, i thought that if the tractor was shipped with the FEL the tires were loaded at the factory? My CK came loaded...

Isn't easy to spend money I run a 6ft. brush hog and a 7ft. finishing mower with no problems. My tires arn't filled, and for the time being I am probably ok. That said, as we start dealing with more round bales I will get them filled. One plus is my dealer is 1/4 mile up the road so I can drive it up there or he'll pick up for free.

Here is a lil' something from this weekend to help make your wallet "lighter" . . . nothing like playin' in the mud. I was working, honestly.
