DK45

Anonymous Poster · Dec 22, 2002

I like many others have been looking, wishing and dreaming of buying a new tractor. My DK45 with a Great Bend 360 loader arrived today. All my research led me to the same conclusion, that Kioti was in fact the best buy.

This forum is great! Thanks for all the great input....

Great MO!!!
All these new tractors for Christmas. I sometimes wish maybe I had gone to the DK45 (have DK35). The extra HP, especially at the PTO could come in handy and the ability to have a larger capacity FEL. What are the specs. on this loader you got? I too think for the money Kioti has to be one of the best buys out there.
Congratulations and Good Luck!!!

Dave,I know the feeling,I originally wanted a 35,bought a 40,and wish I got the 45,if had that I probably would want the 50.
What is it about us guys that we always want things to be bigger than they really are?if you get my drift....Mike

The GB360 lists in the specs as having 2500# lift capacity with 3250# break out. The best feature from the ones I looked at is the strength of the mounting system. It is supported in the front, middle and at the rear axle. Heavy duty componets. their web site is http://www.greatbendmfg.com

I will bring my digital camera home and take a picture.

I thought this thread was turning into some late night commercial,, bigger is better /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif.

I was originally looking at the 45 when I bought my 65!!

Very good machines!!
