I don't get paid by Kioti, this site, or my dealer to say this....I like my tractor (DK45 SE HST) alot. Having said that, it is a piece of equipment, and things can and do go wrong.

Parts have not been an issue for me, I call my dealer, he orders them in, and I pick them up when I am over his way.

Attachments - you can use almost anything with it. Quick attach FEL bucket adds versatility.

If you get one, get the second set of remotes, even if you never plan on using rear remotes. I have one set, and now am contemplating a purchase that may require two sets. You can run them after the fact, but why bother.

One point to consider, is see how much it would cost you to do the maintenance on both machines. It does vary by manufacturer.

I have been posting pics about my dk45 on the owning operating area. I do alot of FEL work with this tractor, and have had no problems with the loader, the weight of the tractor, or the breakout force. For a 45 hp tractor that lifts a ton, it is ok by me. Do a search and look for the negatives and positives of the tractor before you buy one.

Good luck to ya, and I hope you buy the right machine for you.
