I have a 2006 dk 65 cab tractor at less than 100hrs tractor hung in 1st gear new shifter forks, less than 150hrs bearing goes out in transmission, less than 200hrs rear rim bolts had to be replaced, 388 hrs injector pump goes out $3,800.00 to replace. A part inside of the pump came loose and destroyed the pump, less than 500hrs pin in front loader comes out bends cylinder, 653 hrs front axle breaks off while mowing hay. I have 5 other tractors and have operated tractor for over 30 years, this is worst tractor i have ever seen. My dealer quit selling them due to the quality of the tractor. Now my closest dealer is 80 miles away. I do nothing with this tractor but mow hay and move the round bales. Looking up parts for the front axle they have redesigned the axle and what should have cost 300.00 is now 823.00 to repair their problem just for the parts. If they gave me this tractor i would not take it. If you want a tractor that you can use don't buy a Kioti

Where are you located? What dealer did you buy from who is now not selling Kiotis anymore? How did you have to pay for an injector pump? Warranty on engine/drivetrain is 4 years?!:confused2:
Can you show us a lineup of the 5 tractors you own- would like pics of that!
From your two posts to date seems you have nothing good to say about Kioti but seem to rave about Kubotas. An axe to grind, I query?
Hope I'm mistaken but your post sounds a little phony....

Coyote,

He did not scare me away.

Do you run the PTO winch off the rear PTO?
I LOVE my Stihl 20" FarmBoss... :licking:indeed!

Yes I do run the winch off the rear PTO and it is AMAZING what it can haul! Same with the grapple- both from Igland of Norway. man they make some wicked tough forestry products. Yeah, STIHL is it for me. Used them back in the '60's when I did tree work professionally. My saddest saw story is my 011av which took a swim in my pond and ran for another year or so after a good cleaning; now it needs a piston, rings, etc. Can't justify the expense so othe saws on the list are trying to fill it's place. It was the perfect combo of enough cc's and weight distribution.
The '038 Farmboss is a bear but cuts through any task. It's a little heavy for me these days but I go to it when I need something big out of the way!

Go with the Kioti - I've had two, they're both great but not perfect.
DK- 40 is the sweet spot of their 4 cylinder models, but if you need and will use more HP then go for the bigger model(s Good luck, Happy Tractoring- whatever you decide.
