Because the green paint is actually made by grinding up $100 bills.
The quotes I got this week wound up with the DK40SE coming in at $13K less than the L4240, same configuration. This was with HST, cab, loader, 2 rear remotes, and quick hitch. All three dealers are about equally good. Of course, the Kioti free loader offer helped, to the tune of about $5K.
Try the ones you think you want, get quotes, and evaluate the dealer, then make your choice. The right one is the one that works best for you,
I don't know why I keep saying DK40SE, it is really a DK45SE. Dyslexic, I guess!
$13k, I think either the Kioti dealer gave you one heck of a deal or the Kubota dealer used the wrong number. The price difference when I was looking was about $1500 but once I got a feel for the HST+ (and I wanted a front mount snow blower that the Kioti dealer couldn't find in the book) the Kioti was out of the running. For $13k I would drive the Kioti to the Kubota dealer and ask him to come out and show you why the Kubota costs $13k more (maybe they use gold dust mixed in with the air they fill the tires with).
