Buying Advice Are rear remotes standard on the DK40 and DK45?

[jkski]

I have looked at these tractors and the Bobcat tractors so much now that I am starting to forget what is standard and what is not. So, refresh my memory, are a set of rear remotes standard on the DK40 and DK45? How about the Bobcat CT440 and CT445?
Thanks,

Rear remotes are standard on the kioti but are an add on for the bobcats.

Thanks for the quick response. Are the rear remotes standard on both the DK40 and DK45 or is it just the DK45?
Thanks.

All Kioti DK SE series have 1 set of rear remotes as a standard item.

The "Roll over for more info" section of this Bobcat site:

Bobcat Compact Tractor Versatility - Bobcat Company

suggests that a rear remote is standard on the CT4xx series too.

my 2nd rear remote added $400 if i remember right. its a must have item by the way.

the first (included) set has the detent. the second does not. I'm glad that the second doesn't. The detent is great for log splitter, horrible for everything else.

Is a 2nd remote a dealer installed item?

I bought the rear remote (Kioti factory) kits from Wallace tractor, when he sold Kiotis before being a Bobcat dealer, and installed both of them myself on my CK30hst. It took me about five hours but I think I could do it faster now. They came with instructions and the install is straight foward and you don't need to be a master mechanic to accomplish this if you wanted to try it yourself.

You can also take out the detent balls from the remotes if you don't want them to hold in the detent position.

ya, i thought about removing them, cause they are a pain in the butt, but i do need them for my log splitter.
