DK 35 HST

[Lenarguy]

Hi,
Need a tractor the wife can use thought HST would be perfect, (city girl). What is a used DK35, loader, HST worth, less than 400 hours and not perfect? What kind of price range should I be in? Thanks for the help!

The DK seiries tractors do not come with a HST transmission option. They have a syncro shuttle shift.

There is no DK35 that is available with HST. The DK series doesn't offer HST as an option. They are all shuttle shifts. The only machines that Kioti offers in HST are the CK series (CK20, CK25, CK30).

Thank you gentlemen! Is there no such animal as a CK 35?

The DK35 is a gear tractor and they don't make it in HST. Maybe in the future. There is no CK35. I bought a new CK30HST with FEL a few months ago. My wife loves it and uses it all the time. No shifting, just push and go. She'll use the fel for her wheelbarrow!
I paid 16,500 but that is normal for my area in NW Penna. Prices vary around the country by region from what others have mentioned. I think I saw someone who could buy for 15,000.
The CK30 is a good sized tractor for a compact. Unless you need the hp., maybe the 30 with HST would be good for you. My wife loves it and actually likes doing work with it. She says it sure beats the '48 Ford 8n with stiff clutch and no power steering.

Nope, no such animal. In HST, Kioti offers the CK20, CK25, CK30 then goes up to the DK35 to DK65 with synchronized shuttle shifts (don't have to stop before shifting the forward/reverse lever) which are really quite easy to operate, but not as easy as HST with just one pedal operation.
