DK45SE I知 up to 428 hours, no issues, but I致e broken quite a few things learning how to use a tractor.
1. Broken curl cylinder
2. Broken 3pth sway link
3. 3 stripped loader zerk cup bolts
4. 1 loader bracket fram bolt head sheared off (cuz the other 7 were loose!)
5. Hogged out lug holes on rear rim
6. 2 ripped tie-rod end boots
7. 2 bent top links (wrong geometry for my ballast barrel)
8. Bent exhaust pipe
With the amount of clearing I致e done in the woods for me and my neighbors, it痴 a really good thing I didn稚 get a cabbed tractor!
Overall a very solid and hardy machine that has NEVER let me down or failed to start.

Just over 400 hrs on my 2014 CK2510. Backhoe work at first, snow removal. Now that I live i the sticks i use it with a Land Pride AT2560 for mowing, with the rear blade and box blade to grade and maintain the 1/3 mile gravel driveway. Using the FEL and BH to expand the natural pond.
The FEL has loosened up a lot. The weld on the adjustable 3pt lift arm broke. I've broken a few zerks.
In NJ it all had to live outside; here in PA it's all in the garages.
Changed the oil, tranny fluid, filters (twice) and fuel filter (that was important but cheap). I'm using WIX oil filters but stuck with Kioti for the HST, Hyd and fuel filters. The price here was not outrageous like it was in NJ. TSC Tractor fluid and Rotella T6 engine oil.
Correction: my cruise control doesn't work anymore. I couldn't figure out why and it's not important enough to take to the dealer to have fixed.

I've got 340 hours on my 2012 Dk40se hst. Mostly front end loader work moving pallet boxes of firewood around and moving dirt. It came with a defective 4wd valve block meaning it was stuck in 4wd. Had that replaced under warranty. Then the ignition switch starting acting up - fixed with squirting contact cleaner into the lock. Have done all required service myself. Very satisfied with this tractor. I too use WIX oil filters and Kioti for all others.

I have a 4 year old dk50 se with 600 hours. Used to clear land, moved 100's of yards of fill, a lot of grapple and backhoe work, stump grinder, logging winch, pto generator and too many other tasks to list. It has been rock solid and worked hard. I love it
On another note I just changed the oil and had an analysis done by Blackstone. They stated wear metals were exceptionally low and had a TBN of 7.7 at 100 hrs on the oil. This indicates a great running engine. I use Rotella 5w40. I use Amsoil ATH in the Hydro.
