Any news on a DK55 redesign?

[ME83]

I have been looking at the DK45SE and the DK55 tractors and like them both, but untimately favor the size of the DK55. My question is since the DK45SE was recently redesigned, has anyone heard any word about a DK55 redesign?

I would hate to buy one now and have a new version come out next year. Also, how old is the current DK55 design?

I've got one. I think they were introduced in 03 as an 04 model. Mine's an 05. I've been very happy with mine and in fact can't think of anything I'd prefer for power, utility, economical operation. I haven't heard or seen anything even on the international sites. Probably some good deals out there right now.

That looks to be right. We started shipping loaders for them in May of '03. It was introduced with the "new" DK hood design. The other DK series tractors have been redesigned since then.
