DK loader control lever

Why has the DK35 been discontinued? (sorry if this has been answered on another thread -- searched but didn't find it)

I would imagine sales would be slow with the DK40se only a few thousand more money and with the bigger tires and the much stronger loader of the DK40. The main reason I have a DK35se and not a DK40se is because my wife after she had all of her back surgery's had trouble making it up the higher step of the DK40, and she can get on the DK35se pretty well. Of course the money played some factor too. The DK35se is still a stronger loader and a lot heavier tractor than my previous one (good or bad depending on what you want to do with it) Good for me, because I want to do loader work not mowing.

I believe Wallace responded to a thread and stated the DK35 was being discontinued b/c the emissions control components were too big on the DK35 to fit inside the frame and that b/c it was not as big a seller as the others, it wasn't cost effective to make the alterations???? At least that is what I remember from his post.

Interesting. Ironically one thing I have noticed is the lack of diesel smell when switching from my L3400 Kubota to the DK35se.. the DK35 seems cleaner. or may be it is just pointed away better, but that is my perception.
