Thoughts on DK4510HS or CK4010HST

[finn1]

I was torn between the ck4010 S.E. hst and the nx4510, both cab tractors.

I ended up going with the smaller ck series.

It works ok, fits better in my garage, works well around the house, as it fits under most of the trees, even with a cab. blower is a little small at 60”, and it could use a little more torque rise when blowing snow.

The cab is cramped, though.

I’m still not sure I made the right choice, but it’s mine now.

I am still completely on the fence here. I really cannot decide which one to buy. Will probably just flip a coin and if I am disappointed with the outcome, I will buy the other one. I did find a new DK5010HS with dual SCVs floor mat and tool box for $21,125 so thats probably the direction I am heading. Thats the best deal I have found.

I did have a dealer confirm that in May 2018, the DK will be offered with HST tranny and the loader joystick will be fender mounted. 2 things I am very interested in but I just dont have the patience to wait.

If you're mowing in FL, you want a cab with air con.

I bought my new leftover NX4510HST with loader for $21,500 in 2016.

Wow. That's a really good price. I would jump on a deal like that in a heartbeat. My local dealer is at $26k for a basic NX.

My local dealer wanted $28,500 plus 6.25% tax for a new one. I couldn't pass this one up. I think it had 13 hours on it from test rides and moving it from lot to lot. Best move I have ever made other than the 25.2% off on my new Ram leftover.

I would wait and get the DK4510HST. More power. I like my CK4010HST but would have waited if I knew the DK series was coming out with a HST.

Thanks. I purchased the DK4510HS several months ago. It's the perfect sized tractor for my usage and since I spend hours on end mowing, the HS transmission is the right decision for me.

My need to mow 20+ acres was a large part of the reason I went with the HS, and it works perfectly for mowing, as well as for rototilling. (Not so convenient for loader work, but that's another story.)

My thoughts turn to the CK4010 SE in either drive. Much good stuff on those SE models.
