Buying Advice kioti dk40 price good or bad?

[tkh159]

Came across person selling a 2004 kioti 4x4 dk40 648 hours with the following:
KL 1470 loader
KB 2385 backhoe with extra 2 ft bucket
FM72 rhino finishing mower ( older model )
Dirt dog 6ft box blade
original manuals for loader and backhoe
service, shop, part number manuals for tractor.
has records of oil changes and hydrologic oil change.

All for the price of $22,000

Take It or move???

I would make sure the service was done to it but that is a fair price. Seems used machines have jumped a bit now.

Well the hydrologic filter was changed as it isn't the factor gray color. I have this same model but paid $19,000 for it but it only had a loader and 400 hrs on it.

22,000 seems fair to me but i have only bought one tractor so best to get more experienced advice.

The book should show 6 oil changes and 2 hydraulic oil changes. Check the hoe for loose joints. Should have gobs of grease on it.

Had 7 oil changes one at 50 hrs then at every 100. Two hydraulic changes and was well greased.

Hydraulics on loader and backhoe performed good.

Air filter and canister were clean.

No black smoke when engine turned over.

That's all I knew to look for.

Put the BH on and try it out too.

The DK40 seems like a good tractor, and for all that equipment, whether Kubota or Kioti, well cared for, price seems fair enough! Enjoy!!

It was already on thankfully and it performed good.
