DK series HST?

Noodlearm · Aug 5, 2005

Anyone in the know have any idea of when this might happen. When I was shopping for and purchased my CK30HST, I spoke to an engineer at Kioti and he said they would have them for 2006. I don't know if he meant 2006 models or in 2006 for 2007 models. Can anyone enlighten me on this and update the situation?

A little bird told me they should be coming sometime soon /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif..... not sure on an exact date, but hopefully by year end...... it is something they are working on though....

That is good to hear, and about time.

Maybe they were listening to the thread I posted a while back about what I would like to see Kioti do. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Thanks Jon. If they can still keep their price advantage I just may think about trading up.

By the first part of 2006 we should have a DK35hst and a DK40hst also there is a DK90 gear. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Just curious, are the 35 and 40 going to be of the new design?

Yes they should be.... atleast this is what I have heard...

Good, now I can start dreaming, of course the CEO probably wont let me trade up but at least now I have some time to come up with some excuse of why it is needed. Any ideas on pricing, are we talking similar to current DK pricing and adding about $1000 for the HST, similar to the CK series?

Not sure on pricing just yet. Im sure they will be more, and probably have alot of new features as well. Prices are always on the rise with everything it seems like.... We are hoping that Kioti does not take a price increase this year, but if anyone is thinking about buying now is the time.

I don't mind a small increase in prices f I am getting new features, and definaely another $1,000 or so for HST but I would still like them to be really competitive. At least at my dealer, the were well u=nder the copetition at almost every level of tractor one wished to purchase. If theat stays th same, I might have to bite if I don't lose too much on my less than 1 year old CK30 with under 100 hours. If I take too much of a hit, it might not happen no matter how good the pricing is. Thanks for all the updates and info.
