Spent some time this weekend at a few different dealers -- orange, red & green -- and was unexpectedly most impressed with the DK. Likely in the top 2 of the open station options being considered --
PROS: light weight (truck limits towing capacity), quiet engine, economy PTO, strong warranty, competitive loader/3PH specs, reasonable cost backhoe option
LOWS: light weight (traction limited w/o ballast), no telescoping link ends, notchy HS lever... thinking LS' powershuttle lever is industry gold standard, and all Kioti dealers are ~2+ hours away
Does $23.9k with loader and one remote + tax sound about right? And $6.5k for backhoe (after rebate, incl. install). Believe these are all cash prices. Many thanks in advance and for any free advice on Kioti tractor shopping.
p.s. I also tried a SS NX4510 and surprisingly liked the DK better (quieter, PS, ePTO, loader joystick placement). They also have an old stock but new 7 hr NX4510HC + loader + one remote for $27k, which is tempting except weight is higher and PTO hp lower than preferred.
