2008 Kioti DK45SE HST vs. 2011 DK45SE HST?
May have an opportunity to purchase a new 2008 DK45 HST and wanted to get some opinion on it from current owners as well as any differences you see between the 2008 and current model years? Any issues that have come up with the 2008?
Thanks in advance.

I am pretty sure they are the same except for the warrantee... I don't think the SE has undergone any big changes.

The 2008 is out of warranty and the 2011 is not. That's the only diff.

Price should be way different! '08 should be heavily discounted. Your in service date will actually determine the year of the tractor, but the year of manufacture will be what relates to particular parts that since '08 may have changed or been modified, etc.
Emissions system changes may have occurred since then too.

Once you have the tractor you will instantly be infected with the "need more implements" bug. With the money you save you can get nicer or more implements = Score!
