As I recall the direct match for the DK40se is the Kubota 3940. The Kubota has a more sophisticated HST but the Kioti has essentially the same HST capabilties as last year's Kubota so it is hardly antiquated. The KL401 loader is stronger than the loaders available for either the Kubota or JD in this horsepower range. The ergonomics of the Kioti are excellent, try sitting in one and operating it, you'll probably buy one if you do.
I fully agree on the front end loader being stronger on the Kioti KL401 loader verses the Kubota 4240 and 3940.I burn wood pellets for heating in the winter months and the KL401 was the only loader that would pickup 2000 lbs of wood pellets that I need to unload of my trailer.coobie
