KIOTI DK55

[tf116]

Yepp your right. need to hook up something and see what it will do.
Mostly reconning today....wanted to see what a Kioti looked like..
and how it was designed and set up...I was impressed....still wondering how it holds up....not really interested in a cab model.
Had a MF 1085 with a cab..it was a pain climbing up and down to hook up attachments or whatever..nice if it started raining though..

That won't quite be the situation with the 55 since it has the outside hitch lever. A great standard feature in my book!

Of course, you know the DK55 comes in a ROPS model right?

Still has the foot operated steering and the outside hitch lever.

Yepp, know about the ROPS and the tilt steering and especially the Hitch Lever are great......only disadvantage I see on the 55 is the fuel tank locale.....needs protection!........Thanks John....

We are in the process of arranging for the purchase of a Kioti DK55. I was convinced that the Mahindra 5500 was what I wanted. After looking at several other brands including Kioti. I am now sold that the fit and features of the Kioti is much better. Both brands have strong dealers in our area so which made the brand selection a little harder. Good or bad the Mahindra is considerably heavier and a couple thousand less to buy.
