Size, horse power and money. Go to the Kioti web site and check them out, they are two completely different machines.

What are your plans for the tractor? Bigger is sometimes better but not always.
God luck,

Basically the CK35 is a small frame tractor with a large engine and the DK35 is a large frame tractor with a smaller engine.
Both have about the same PTO HP but the DK is a bigger tractor all around. It is 500lbs heavier, the 3PH can lift 600lbs more, the loader is good for 300lbs more, and it has larger rear tires.
I would recomend driving both to get a real world reel for the difference in size, because they are both very capable machines for their size.
But I would however recomend looking at the DK40 if you decide on the larger frame. If it isnt too much more money, it has a MUCH better loader than the DK35. It is only about 200lbs heavier than the DK35. Roughly the same size tractor unlike the CK35 vs the DK35. But the loader can lift ~2700lbs vs the ~1400 of the DK35 vs the ~1100 of the CK35. Again, MUCH stronger loader by going up only one notch, and the little extra power is always a plus too.

The DK40 is probably the best Kioti tractor performance wise for the money spent. :thumbsup:

I agree, the DK-40 is it!:thumbsup:
Had a DK-35 for about a year and traded it in for the DK-40.
The 40 also has an extra cylinder over the DK-35.
If you can afford the 40 go for it- you will NOT be disappointed.

Now that you have used the 40 for a while, can you tell how your DK 40 is doing on fuel compared to the 35.

Vince,
Wish I could give you data on that, but to tell the truth I just fuel it up from my on site tank when it gets low. I don't think there is an appreciable difference in consumption, though I do notice increased fuel use when I use it moving snow at higher revs and in 4WD. I suspect both the 35 and 40 would show consistent added consumption under these conditions. I've got about 65 hours on it now.
Hope that helps answer your question. Are you considering going up to a 40?
Happy & Safe New Year to all!

Thanks for the reply.
I'm planning on running my DK 35 for several more years.
But it would be nice to trade for a new machine in the future. Right now I'm just weighing my options
