Buying DK45 HST

[nedly05]

I just payed WAY less than that for an 08 DK55 with 8 hrs!

can u share that price for the DK55?

I paid $21500 in June for a new one with the loader and a sunshade.

Thinking about replacing my MF165. There is a 2008 demo model at the dealer with 300 hrs + loader - no cab, asking $28,000 CAN. Is this a good price? What would this tractor normally go for?

jda1961 maybe you canadian guys should buy your tractors in the states and take them back across the border or is that not legal?

I thought about it. It is legal and there are no import fees. But, for trucking, hassle of getting there and back, and after sales service may be an issue. You would need at least two vehicles with trailers or one large tractor trailer to bring back all the implements you would purchase based on the savings!!!!!

dking,


The farm show in Moncton is in March... You could get a show special price if you are willing to haul it away.

Hi All,
Just a little equalizer in $, at today's exchange rate $21500 US equals $26580 Canadien. Did both prices exclude sales tax. I'm new to the board and am in the process of becoming a Kioti owner. I'LL post when its actually in my garage.

I did not realize the Loonie had dropped so much in the past four months. The dollars were almost even last Spring as I recall. So our financial crisis ruins your currency. Pisser.

yeah, at one point last summer we were up on you by 10c. now we're down 20c. stupid global crisis. but 21,500 US is more like 25,800 C. still a pisser.

we'll we've got obama to save us. when his cabinet gets confirmed and they all finally pay thier taxes the crisis will be over.

Just retired as a math teacher so I'd like to clearify my conversion. I used the market value this AM which was $1 Canadien = $.80 US or $1 US = $1.23 Canadien. I divided 21500 by .80 to get 26875. (or 1.23 times 21500 - gets a little different answer because of rounding) The 25800 comes if US $1.00 = $1.20 Canadien or $1.00 Canadien equals $.8333 US. Also I predict that there would be costs at the border. I paid when I bought in Canada and crossed into NYS. ($1000 value but don't remember what I paid)
Sorry its just the teacher in me.
