The Biggest difference I found between th 45s and the 45se was that the 45s was too crampedfor my liking. Even with seat all the way back I felt like my knees were in the dash and I was alittle close to the clutch pedal. The 45se was just a better fit for me. Loved the rest of the 45s though !
dk45s or dk45se?

The "S" is a gear/clutch driven while the "SE" is hydrostatic or HST. I have never sat on an "S" without a cab but the cab version was not to bad. I will say the seat did feel a bit close to the wheel/dash in relation to my "SE". I am not sure if there is a difference in build due to the cab or not. I am 6ft./200lbs.

You guys are going to make me have to go spend some more time on the 45S and SE.
I have spent considerable time on the DK45S and the old DK45. They both were comfy to me.
I guess I need to spend more time on the 45SE.
I'm 6' and (sucks in gut) 210. Maybe I shrunk with age LOL.
It's all in what feels best to the customer.
The more I look at the 45SE the more I like it though.

Tractor usage should determine what model you want and need. My 45s is used for tillage, mowing, and loader work. There was no 45se when I bought mine and not having a cab on the se would make me buy the s again. I only have 320 hrs on the 45 but so far everything has worked pretty darn good.
A friend stopped and looked at the tractor several weeks ago, he is thinking about getting one just like it, and he spent years working at the Case/IH dealership.

I love the DK45. Been a great mount so far. I am sure the "s" is the same outside the for the obivous differences. I'd be happy with either but I needed something without a cab so I could get into the barn and into the stalls.
