Kioti DK45C/DK55C or other cab utility tractor

[Goalnightx]

First off wanted to say hello to everyone from Iowa. This is my first post although I have been reading for quite some time. After researching the Kioti cab tractors mentioned in the post title, I wanted to get opinions on what other cab utility tractors I should consider. My minimum requirements at this point are: Cab, MFWD, loader and 40-60 HP.

My main use will be maintaining 2-3 miles of gravel roads, snow removal and removing felled trees/limbs from 60 acres of land that I am developing into 4-5 acre building lots. I have sent quote requests to most of the main Kioti dealers and will be purchasing within the month. Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions or otherwise would be appreciated on the tractors I listed or the competition would be great! Thanks in advance. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Goldnightx,
I know California is a long way from Iowa, but my dealer has a DK55 with full cab on consignment. Low hours appears really nice. Some old guy bought it because he could but didn't use it much. Maybe worth a call.

Good Luck,
