I took my DK55C down the road about 3 miles to the local lumber yard. The owners were all over the tractor. They loved it. They asked how much I paid.......then they said, "You paid what! The last Kubota we priced was much higher." I told then it was not a Kubota and they wanted to know where my dealer was located. I expect to see a new Kioti doing lumber yard duty soon! There were absolutely no snickers involved in our conversation. Just admiration.
