- 2010 Kioti DK40SE w/FEL; 1949 Allis Chalmers "C"
Long time lurker, first time poster.
After 5 years of research and agonizing, finally settled on a DK40SE w/FEL as a replacement for my grand dads 1949 AC model C that I've been love/ hating since I was 7 years old (the tractor is 12 years older than me). A bit dangerous on the hills with no ROPS, tricycle front end, light front end and touchy brakes. At 61, it's time she retired before she breaks.
The dealer (Eric at Moon Tractor in Hillsboro, OH) is the best I've ever seen, bar none (and I've talked to a LOT of them, all brands). Honestly wants me as a customer, not just a sale. With the current promo, got the tractor for $800 less than he quoted me 2 years ago. ($21,721 out the door, all inclusive. Tires with rimguard, free first maintenance, dyno runup prior to delivery, tax, paperwork, etc).
See attached for Grandpa's Allis, which is for sale if anyone cares.
Will shoot a picture out when the new beast is delivered next weekend, side by side with the AC. Maybe a little difference? Ha!
