DK50 questions

Roy you selling your Deere or just looking for a 2nd machine?

Well, an interesting update...
The tractor is not a 2011...it's a 2001. A serial number search proved this out.
The seller is quite upset, as you might expect...he had taken the word of the owner before him. I offered $12K (asking price was $22900).
Too bad, nice tractor for $12K...

Yeiks..... only 10 years difference......

Sold it last Sunday...
I made an offer for the DK50...bit more realistic for the actual year, but the seller doesn't want to take that much of a loss
Also looking at a Deere 4052...more then I wanted to pay...nice tractor though
And, looking in general. I really liked the Kioti...just not for the price considering it was 19 years old. However, I'm getting quotes on adding a rear remote and a full service (all fluids, filters etc.) Might still make a deal

It sounds like he's going to wind up keeping it a bit longer. Not many folks are going to give him that much for a machine that's almost 20 years old. I'd tell him to give you a call if he reconsiders your offer and then walk away and start looking elsewhere. His fault for not doing his research.

Yep, that's the plan...

Ended up going for the Deere 4052...a lot more money, but a lot nicer tractor...
So, that ends this thread...

Thanks for letting us know, Roy. You might post a photo of your new machine. You do know if you get a whole pack of Kioti's, they can take down a Deere?
