Just purchased a DX45 myself. I actually bought the 2003 version of the tractor. I was interested in a 2004 Farmall DX35 at first, but happened to run into a deal that I just couldn't turn down. Picked up the 2003 DX45 for $16,500. I'm very impressed with the power, handling, and response of this tractor. Kudos to CNH.
