LOOK what I got!!

[HODAK]

It can be yours..Amy said I can not get attached.
This was a proto type and don't ask me why they never went thru with it but it would have been a Kubota killer if they did.
It is brand new (2003?)and yes I will be selling it.
It has a power shuttle and a glide shift trans.
We are getting ready to install a Woods loader on it.

Too late there Mr Wallace. Had you come across that thing back in April of 2004, (that's right - CK30 almost 5 years old), I would have been all over it. Someone will grab it......

 

[intel]

I like it, with a fel for $14,000 it will not last
With my DK 45 with Hi, Med and Low range Shuttle shift(12 forward 12 reverse) i feel like i am always hunting for the right gear.

 

[intel]

Rick could you post a picture of this DK 35 after you put the Front End loader on?

 

[wallace]

Sure waiting on the powder coating guys..

 

[wallace]

Guys check it out the loader is on...
As a matter in fact the new owner waited as we finished up...we didn't even get to wash the machine he took it right out of my hands!

Wish I can run across a couple hundred more deals like this one I would be able to reduce my bail out:

Thanks Max

Thanks Rick,

Got in last night about 10:30, as expected. I actually think I might have had a touch too much tongue with the way it's loaded. I'll try it the 'right' way the next time I have a short trip and see if I can get enough weight on tongue and keep the bucket on the floor. This was honestly the first time my little 16' car hauler was really just too short

Anyway the prototype waits again, its still on the trailer, and it looks like rain today I'll see if I can remember to take the camera for the first 'project'.

I knew it would said quick. If i didn't have my dk 45 i would have bought it.

 

[wallace]

I knew it would go but not this fast he took it right out of my hands!!! I didn't even get to try to talk Amy into letting me keep it.

 

[MrsTractor]

Rick: You forgot to mention that I am in Florida, that is why you did not get to talk me into letting you keep it. Maybe I need to go away more often so that you do not have time to be able to try & talk me into letting you keep another toy. I keep asking if I can stay a little longer because you are doing such a good job without me in selling.

 

[wallace]

Okay guys so next time you think she has if rufff...remember who has to stay home to pay the bills. Ohhh ya she even left me with the kids.

I may have to change my user name to MR MOM NOT!!!

Actually we can let the cat out of the bag..... Amy is down there preparing our new store. We will be opening up a new store down there!

Okay maybe not she can't live without me being by her side.

Are you planning to retire down there.....soon?

Best of luck with the new store.

There is reason with leaving the kids behind, because Desiree is just like me & can keep a very close eye on Rick while I am gone. As far as another store, the only way that will happen is if Rick & I move down here to Florida, the weather sure is nice right now....80 degrees all week long & sunny, beautiful weather to retire to!!!

 

[Mark_G]

A store in Northern VA would be closer.... and you already have at least one customer down this way!

 

[mark.r]

I've been saying for a long time now that Kioti should be offering a power shift.
Looks like they started building prototypes but never followed through !!

It's the one reason that if I ever go larger (IF) I have crossed off the DK90. I can appreciate the older but reliable technology, but I think the industry has moved on. At least in the sense of having a powershift option along with mechanical shift. It's hard to look past transmissions such as Fendt's Vario, MF Dyna Shift, JD IVT, etc.

I agree. The MF Dyna shift, or Dyna Step (CVT). They have proven themselves.

I'm not sure which one is based on/the same as the Fendt Vario (Dyna Step?) but I do know that 50,000+ Fendt Vario equipment machines have come off the assembly line as of 2007 or 2008.

The Dyna shift is a power shift, and the Dyna step is the Vario. I would not have a problem owning either.

Kioti already has a PS transmission they are using overseas, I am sure it won't be too long before it shows up in the states.
