22K for a 45hp 4x4 tractor with a backhoe?weesa20 said:
Low hours as well? I personally think that price sounds good to me. What year is the machine? Is it the newer 45S model? Has the maintenance been kept up on it? To satisfy your curiousity, price out a new 45S with backhoe. I believe you will answere your question yourself. Good luck!

The backhoe being a 6-8000$ option really skews that deal into being good. If it is a 45s and the backhoe is a good brand then I would not worry about 145 hours. I have double that on my CK30 and I still get the new smells from paint burning off of the muffler when she's working.
Backhoes need to be cheaper!! Why should they cost as much as half of a tractor? Ack, no need to respond, just venting after watching (and paying for) a large excavator pop stumps on my property this week.

I own the DK45 being discussed. Steve Carver put it on his website as a courtesy to me.
To answer some of the questions which have come up on this thread:
- Tractor is a 2003. Bought new in June of 2003
- All maintenance has been done. Have box of extra filters
- The backhoe is a Kioti 2385
- Tractor is in very good shape. No abuse
- The 1590 loader has the upgrade kit to 1590S which fixes the rollback/power issues. (not on the thread but important).
Appreciate the discussion.
