Kioti DK45SE - KL401
Lift Capacity to Full Height at Pivot Pins = 2,761 lbs
Rated flow = 10 gpm
Relief valve pressure = 2556 psi

Kubota L4400 - LA703A
Lift Capacity to Full Height at Pivot Pins = 1,818 lbs (less 943 lbs)
Rated flow = 7.8 gpm (less 2.2 gpm)
Relief valve pressure = 2560 psi (more 4 psi)

The specs listed are both AT THE PIVOT PINS, so there is no doubt the specs are a true comparison. It looks as though you have to go up to a much larger Kubota like the M-series with the LA1002 loader to come close to the specs of the Kioti. Of course you still get a better warranty and newer more ergonomic design with the Kioti as well.

That DK45 is one heck of a machine and it is not easy to find a comparable tractor, let alone a stronger one.
