Just as I though I was settled on a CK35, I just coudn't find a dealer who would put a Woods loader on one for decent price.
So, I got some decent prices on the DK35SE. Includes rear remotes standard (which I was going to get on a CK anyway) I must be crazy for even considering the DK.
The loader lift capacity is greater than the CK30 and the price is near that of the CK35/Woods LC102 loader combo. (which would be my preferred package) Though seems like a much bigger tractor for nearly the same cost.
Thought it was TOO big........until I measured the width with R4 tires. SAME (well plus 1 inch) as the CK30/35 w/R4s. It's just a tad longer.
So, from a stability standpoint (traversing hills....which I know we "shouldn't" do, but sometimes you have no choice.......as in my case) would the DK35SE be just as/or perhaps more stable than the CK30/35. Both with loaded tires.
I say perhaps MORE stable than because of the heavier weight of the DK as well as the larger tires. (for more weight while filled)
oh...and yes I've looked at the DK40. That IS TOO big. Too wide. The CK/DK35 is already pushing the limits of size. Though the standard rear remotes and loader lift capacity around the CK35/Woods LC102 combo area do seems appealing.
As always, thank to all for their responses.
