murphy1244,
I also have a quote from a kioti dealer for a DK40 that is my 2nd choice.
How do you like your Dk40?

I have nothing but praise for my Kioti, this too was my first machine bought new. How much was your quote?

This is my last correspondence with the dealer in Bangor, Maine
Kioti DK 40se HST

"With the help of the manufacturer, what I can do for you is this. Sell you the tractor and loader for 28,450 then the ballast cost is 475 and our Closing Docs are 199. So all totaled with tax the out the door price, delivered, is 30,725.82.

I’d like to make the point that this is a new machine with 4 years of power train, 2 years of end to end coverage and one year on the loader. This machine comes standard with the finer comforts of life, radio, rear wiper and a rear hydraulic remote. Along with the fact that the Kioti is going to be a heavier built machine by probably 500 pounds if you’ll pull up the specs for the kubota on line and compare to the Kioti brocure I gave you the other day.

I hope by lowering the price by 1,450 I’ve earned your business. Also going forward, I could extend a discount on any attachments you may want to buy Thank you Mike"

Tell him you want the second remote and rear plow light and filled tires with Rim Guard thrown in if your interested in the machine. Maybe a Grapple for a attachment. This is a Cab tractor your getting a Quote on?

Yes it does have a Cab.
I moved him down $1450 and I responded to him that he needed to be lower but he responded he was as low as he could go, maybe him throwing in an attachment might work.
I also have heard go things about kioti tractors that is why I went to him for a quote, with the Kubota L3940 I am at $28,500 w/ no tax or title.

Good luck with whatever Tractor you decide on!

I pulled the trigger on the L3940 after going down to check it out. It is every bit as good as the pictures indicated, it was only used to bail hay, the bucket is not even scratched as he only used it to lift hay bales. The machine ran perfectly, everything checked out and it looks like I essentially bought a new tractor for about $7000 less than my best new L3940 quote from a dealer. It still has warranty until June of next year. I am happy with my decision to buy.
I thank everyone for their input, suggestions and sharing their experience with me.
Now onto the attachments!!
