I did some follow-up on this. The mid PTO apparently is available on the DK series but not on the DS. It's a $300 kit option. I was interested on the front mount snowblower which requires the mid-PTO. The loader incentive is available on the DK as well as the DS series.

There's been a fair number of complaints on this forum about what seems to me to be quality consistancy.

I have been following posts pretty regularly on this forum over the last 18 months and have seen only one isolated report of "quality inconsistency" for the DS models. It had to do with buckling of panels on a tractor in one dealer's yard. The fit, finish and quality of every Kioti tractor (all late models) I have inspected (maybe 20 or 30) has been consistently of a high standard.

I think no loader incentive for dk this quarter fyi.

Yeah...I saw that on the website ...but I asked the dealer anyway and he quoted $23k for the DK45se w/free loader. Maybe they have some latitude on the deals they make...?

He also mentioned that a mid-pto for the DS4510 was in development but didn't have a release date.

Thanks...

I'm not familiar with tractors in general but I need one. I'm considering used but I'm not sure I'm a very good judge of what's good and what's not.

The one way I think I can sort out the manufacturer pecking order is to get plugged into these forums.

Oh man, I might have to go in and ask again! I also tried to decipher the website and got as far as the OP so emailed the local dealer. His reply was free loader on DS and not DK. I think there may be latitude or your guy may have DK stock from when that promotion was going on?

That might be it. The local Kioti dealer is Gary's Yamaha Sales and Service in Caribou, ME.
