So, if the OP plans on using the standard bucket, the DK40's advantage is diminished somewhat. Of course, bigger is better.... if you have the room to use it and store it.
The real benefit of the DK comes when you add a grapple or forks.Quote:

Yep. The Grand L is a very nice tractor. Considerably more expensive though. Grand L has a more sophisticated HST and the DK has a much stronger loader and more weight. Both excellent machines.Quote:
