10 hrs on DK45

kingkioti · Sep 8, 2002

Just completed 10 hours on my DK45. The more I drive this
tractor the more I enjoy it! I just finished my first landscaping
job. Finishing a lawn after excavation. Used a 8 foot York
rake with my FEL.I have had no problems with this tractor as
of yet.
The only thing I missed having is a Hydro trany. The shuttle
trany worked flawlessly but hydro would be faster. When I buy a tractor with Hydro it will definately be a Kioti ! I do not see where Kioti has any quality issues. On a scale of 1 to 10
I rate my Kioti 9.999999999999999. I am extremely happy
with my tractor !

Have you checked into a Harley power rake?
They are exspensive but I think would work very well for the landscaping you plan to do.
I priced a Harley T-6 power rake at around $6,000.
I have seen power rakes used on landscape tractors and they do a very nice job.

THE Harley T-6 looks like quite a machine. It is bit out of my
league yet. Thanks for the info!
Was down in your neck of the woods on Sunday. Spent the
day at Cooks Forest ,beautiful area!
