Comparing 1635 vs JD3520 and Boomer35

So we should never read on these blogs of people who can't get parts from Mother Deere.?

Absolutely true, GManBart, I can't give you a spreadsheet of data. I only know what was in the case studies and what my friends from B School who work in the industry told me. Off topic, one of them actually got assigned the fun job of working on deere's comparison testing for CUTs. Sadly, I didn't get to go participate, but some what they tweak based on the testing is hilarious. They actually make some of the CUTs louder because testers rated the louder tractors as having more power when they did tasks, despite the objective data contradicting that. Cool stuff.
Anyway, this isn't worth arguing about. You don't believe it's true and I don't believe it's a reason to buy a JD CUT. Heck, I even sold my stock.

To the OP ... if the Boomer 35 is still on your list, you might consider buying it right from LS. The LS R3039 HST typically sells for under $20k. It comes standard with 2 sets of remotes, draft control, rear light, 7 pin harness, AND the loader lifts 2250lbs.

Well I sat in the Kioti dk 40se HST and a Boomer35. I liked the Kioti better. So now I'm left to consider the Massey1635 or the DK 40. I looked at the DS in the Kioti but after seeing the DK, I was spoiled. The CK series is nice to but light on the FEL power compared to the 1635.

You're comparing two different size machines in the DK40SE, and the Boomer35....over 1,000lbs difference in weight, for starters. The Boomer 40 is the equivalent to the DK, and has a completely different layout than the Boomer 35.

Keep in mind the DK40 series is not really comparable to the Boomer 35... you'll have to step up to the Boomer 40/50 (or LS R4041/47) to be a direct comparison.

Just FYI

I'm sorry. I should have wrote this differently. Yes they are different tractors as is the 1635 to the DK40. I went looking for a DK 35 SE and a CK 35 but they had none of the DKs and none of the CKs were assembled. I do believe the lay out of the DK 35 is the same as the 40. But I think the 1635 compared to the Boomer 35 is apples to apples isn't it? I'm still thinking it will end up between a 1635 and a Kioti CK/DK35. So I'm down to 3 tractors. I wish the weather would warm up so I can get a better drive on one.
