See this post on this site from 2007, prices probably have gone up.but should give you an idea.

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-buying-pricing/105904-kioti-dk45se-hst.html

Financing is up to 72 months @ 0%, I got a ck27 HST called 4 plus dealers, to get pricing the went and saw best price, and actually got it from second best price, but he ate the financing cost and I liked dealling with them.

hope this helps.

The DK45SE does not compare to the Kubota L45. The L45 is a Construction grade TL OR TLB and out weighs, Preforms, and stronger then the DK45SE.
Thats not to say the DK45SE is a bad tractor but it falls way short of a KUBOTA L45. Even with a back hoe your still about 2000lbs lighter the the L45 and the hydraulics and pump out put is way less. DK 16 GPM / L45 25 GPM that is a huge difference when your working and running attachments. And the back hoe on the L45 is a moster compared to the DK45SE.
Good luck.

Tough to disagree, L45 is purpose build piece of construction equipment. Sort of like comparing apples and oranges.

I love my Kioti, but it sure is not a B26. But then again I was comparing to B21 when I bought, the money was just crazy different but specs were not. Then again I'm not using commercially.

I bet Island will chime in on this one.

I am also a kioti owner, and I would have to agree with this post. A dedicated construction tractor will be built to handle more all the way around. Kinda like buying a "homeowner" chainsaw or a "professional grade" one. I rented an L35 TLB once and was very impressed with it's capabilities.
I find something interesting about the weight issue though. There are all kinds of posts on here about kioti vs the "name brands" weight. The kioti guys say "my tractor is heavier" and the kubota guys say "well my tractor is built with better quality steel" Soooo why does the L45 weigh so much more than the DK45 and WAY more than the L4400 even though the physical size is nearly the same?

I agree there is no direct Kioti comparitor for the L45. The DK40se and DK45se compare more to the Grand L series not the dedicated TLBs.
