Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Just got back from looking and testing the DK 50...nice tractor...started easy, seems like adequate power. My 4520 has 46 PTO HP, the Kioti has 40...that's probably close enough for my needs. I liked the shuttle shift (my favorite transmission...none of the power loss compared to a hydro) and overall condition of the tractor. It seem to have the Deere desease of the paint fading pretty quickly if not stored inside.
Other then needing a good cleaning, the Kioti is is very nice for a 9 year old tractor that spent it's life outside
One thing I really liked was how robust the front axle...much heavier then the 4520. It (the Kioti) has much larger front tires (my estimate about 33% larger) then the Deere compacts
So, my 4520 is for sale...I have a guy stopping by tomorrow...hopefully, he'll show up

Hope the deal comes thru for you Roy. :thumbsup:

You hit the nail on the head.

Got most of it done. Moss is really bad, what’s good to get rid of moss in the grass?


There were some large washout places, now I can drive sideways safely.

Seat on the Bx23 is rather uncomfortable.

Hope everything goes your way Roy

Nice day today with temps starting in the upper 50's and finishing up at 76. Starting to see some color around here.
Not much planned for the weekend. Looks like a nice ride is in the cards for tomorrow.
Stay safe and healthy all!

Roy, DK50 or DK50SE? SE has larger displacement motor and bigger hydraulic pump
DK50 hasn't been made since 2005

2011, so I guess it's the SE model.

Typically, around here with our soils: add slow-release pelletized lime to reduce soil acidity.
