According to their wiki, the DK came out in 1999 and the DS came out in 2009 as a value line.
My dealer never even mentioned the DS to me and only had DKs and CKs on the lot - don't know if I should read anything into that.

He let me check out a 2001 model DK that was in for regular service. It was in good enough shape that I probably would have made an offer on it, had it been for sale.

I looked at the DS line when I bought my DK, but my taste runs more to the more upscale deluxe tractor, so I bought a DK YMMV.

No HST available on the DS series, I tried a DS and quickly came to the conclusion I wanted an HST. I think the price difference was only $1000, gear DS to gear DKSE, when I was looking.
The DS is also not the old DK, the old DKs are abit heavier.
