Price Check DK40SEH

[Stix]

Well after reading and alot of shopping I decided on the DK40SEH. I looked at the CK35 but the sheer size difference and features on the DK sold me. We settled on a price of $21,425 with loaded tires, extra rear remotes and back blade. The next closest i had was a Kubota Grand L3540 and that was quoted at 23995. I drove them both and I liked the kioti for comfort and features. I did like the HST+ on the Kubota but for lift capacities and weight more than made up for the HST+ The last that I looked at was a new holland workmaster 40 for 19,200 and a YTM for 16,800. I am coming from a 1998 Kioti LK3054 and i had bought that used 2 years ago and never had a lick of trouble. Bought that for $4200 and sold for $8000. Not bad resale value

Hope I did good on my shopping! Looking forward to putting this to work. I will be adding the 72" HD grapple for the front as well.

I had to go with it both Kubota dealer and Kioti said to shy away from the Tier 4 for now. He has 1 more dk40 left. They are getting very thin! I was surprised every dealer I was at hate the Tier 4 engines.

They hate the price increase but the used tractor prices have gone up too. They could have got top dollar for that machine. Your very lucky to find one.

I did not know they were so rare. Glad I snapped one up now. This dealer is awesome. Been a kioti dealer since they started 20 years ago. Thats why I went with them well and the price.

Great machine, my DK45 has shocked me at its capability, the rocks i've been able to grab with the 66" grapple are huge!

Looks awesome!! Can't wait till it is delivered. I cut alot of trees and split for winter use. I wanted a tractor with a strong FEL. I need to wait on the grapple for a month or so though. I was not sure between the 40 and 45 but the last 45 sold. But seeing as I was originally looking at 30 to 35 I figured 40 will be plenty! The FEL is the same.

Welcome to the pack. Sounds like your decision process went much like mine - start out on the CK35 and quickly convince yourself that for not a whole lot of $'s more it's worth the jump to the DK40SE. I have no regrets. Check all the loader frame bolts and lug nuts when you get it. Like a lot of folks, some of mine needed retightened after just a small amount of use.
