Because I am bored for the most part but also because if business is good over the next couple of years (yes lots in the market can change in two years) we would be in the market for a 100 horsepower or so tractor. So I ask how do these units compare. Now let me say I did not compare the "orange" ones because they were . . . well orange. I chose these because they were the largests of their respective brands and relatively less confusing (although Kubota's offerings have become pretty confusing with the new models). All the different transmissions offered by the other big manufact. (Kubota included now) confuse me, one reason Kioti is nice. Obviously there is a fairly large difference between 78 PTO horsepower and 103 PTO (or is there) but that is the kind of information I am looking for. Furthermore, last time I looked the DK was considerably heavier than the Kubota, to the tune of 4000lbs. That can be good in agriculture but I am used to the sports car market where extra weight and less horsepower is BAD.
Our use for this monster would be hay production and large acreage brush hogging. I obviously want as much PTO horsepower for my money to increase my choice in implements. So how would the DK90 stack up against the 100+ horsepower Kubota M Series?
