DK45 HST cab

[IslandTractor]

Sweet looking cab Rick. Give me another year or so to finish with my brush clearing and getting some trees trimmed back and I'll be calling you up to trade up. I can only imagine how sweet it is to be in an A/C cab mowing in mid summer. I imagine it is a bit quieter too though I don't know that there is much soundproofing on the firewall. It would be nice to stop wearing hearing protection too.

It looks like a step up from the DK45S cab. I'd like having the seat belt positioned where I can find it rather than lost under the seat somewhere. I'm not sure I'm keen on the sharp-looking turnsignal/warning flasher knobs, though; they'd be too close to my left knee for comfort. Otherwise, a real improvement.

That knob is exactly the same as on my non cab DK40se and is no issue at all. Your knee is well out of the way when sitting and I've never hit the thing when getting on or off the tractor.

Makes me wish I would have wait until this year to purchase a new tractor and the CFO will definetely not let me trade in for a new model

That DOES look nice! Thank you very much for posting the images!

I've been impressed with how Kioti has been refining their products (just like Kubota did years ago) - each new series seems just as solidly built, but with more comfort features.

I will be checking out a cabbed unit at some point!

I'd seen press releases about the new 50, that I had understood would be a 45 with a turbo on it - any idea when it might be out?

Thanks again for posting the images, and keeping all of us here informed

I haven't seen anything on this yet but it occurs to me that it would be a pretty lame turbo to only get an additional 5 horsepower out of a 45hp naturally aspirated engine. Don't turbos usual boost HP by about 20-30%?

Well guy's I got my tractor last week and I've been out several times with it...Great tractor, the cab is amazing, and now I know why the seat was stolen, it's very comfortable..I tried to post pics but was unable too... I can assure you it looks as good as Wallace tractor..The auto pto is a great feature and I must mention that the heather is more than sufficient..Kioti was very helpful in helping me obtain a better interest rate from agricredit, and for that I'm very greatfull. Trade in value for my CK 30 was very good at 16000 it was sold 2 days latter.. As some of you know I use the tractor to make a living in the winter time, and the CK 30 was very reliable in the past 3 season, I would highly recommend this thought little tractor....Thanks Charlie

By the way it's not a heather but a heater and it's a tough tractor not a thought tractor. That's what happens when your in a rush.....

Put it in low range and slow down a bit
