Smallest cab HST Kioti???

RedDog · Feb 28, 2012

If I'm reading the Kioti web site correctly, is the DK35SE the smallest cab tractor you can get?

Next question would be: Will a Kioti hoe fit on that cab tractor?

Reason I ask, I'm considering selling my tractor and bobcat track hoe to one smaller machine with a cab at least until my wife finds out!!

Thanks,

No, Kioti now has a cab for all the CK's down to the CK20.

The cabs for the CK models are nice but they don't give you air conditioning ,if that's a requirement for your purposes then you have to go to the DK factory cab models.....Craig

My boss just bought a CK20HST with the $3,000 cab deal, because I like mine(no cab) and have had excellent results with it. Don't know about AC but he says he can plow snow in his t shirt the heater is so good, he has to turn it off.

You are correct that the DK35 HST is the smallest "Factory installed" full feature cab. Yes you can put a Kioti backhoe on that unit. Structurally the Dk35 - DK50 are the same. Just pick the HP you want. Great deals going on starting tomorrow! (new Kioti programs) If you would like we could help with your purchase.

First, the DK35 is no longer offered, but you can most definitely still find one, but believe them when they say, once the one you're looking at is gone, it really is! Next, the DK35 may be the same frame as the DK40/50, but the loader is not.

I have the Kioti comfort cab on my CK30. It's very nice, but the finish isn't quite the same as a factory installed cab. No there is no A/C available on any CK cab. A/C robs about 7hp from the tractor, and I've been told by my dealer that the DK35 is underpowered with the A/C running.

My Woods BH-70x fits on with the cab, and it is tighter to the tractor than the Kioti backhoe, so I'm pretty sure the DK35 cab will be fine. In fact, I have the brochure for the DK line at home and they have a picture of a DK35 with Kioti BH in it.

Thanks Ken, I am aware of the availability and the the loader diff. I was just answering the question as to the tractor and hoe that he had asked.

As KiotiKen has noted, the DK35 is different from the larger DKs. Besides the loader, the axles and tires are also smaller. The DK40/45/50 are virtually identical but the 35 is lower and lighter.

My wife is actually in favor of the idea!

Yes I do want ac and heat in the cab. I'm not concerned with ac robbing the tractor of power.

I'm sure I can sell my Bobcat 331 pretty quick, but selling the Kioti DK65 will be harder, even though it is in superb condition. I so wish I would have purchased the cab DK65!

I may even look at some other brands, but Kioti has been a trouble free beast so I hate to leave the brand.

Thanks,
