I'm going to need a tractor and think I'm going with Kioti because it seems like it's just as much or more tractor than the other brands for less money. No brand bashing here, just my oibservation.
I've test driven a DK50SE HST Cab which was interesting, I'm not sure I'm that crazy about a hydro trans. but I'm left with a few questions about what the difference really is between the DK50 and the DK45 other than the transmission? The DK50 looks like they gave it a few more HP than the 45 to compensate for a power robbing hydro.
The cash price on the DK50 with FEL is $29.5, thw DK45 about $1500 less. I don't have a price on the NX yet.
And what is so different about the NX? Seems like it is again the same tractor with a lower flow but more powerful hydraulic pump and a different trans.
Can someone enlighten me about the differences between these models and how the trans gearing is set up in the NX?
I have a small horse farm so I'll be using it for spreading horse poop, haying, and snow removal. This winter is my first in Wisconsin, and I'm told its the coldest, snowiest winter in 25 years. Lucky me! My little old IH cub has done surrprisingly well but with all this snow and drifting it has finally met its match! I won't be able to hay with it either. Time to upgrade!
