Wow, thanks for all the great feedback. Sorry I don't have time to respond to the individual comments, but I just got moved in to the new house so I haven't had an Internet connection for a few days. I'll keep you posted when I talk to the dealer next week.

Hoosier,
One option I did not check into that I wish I would have is creeper gear.

I would fluid fill the tires with the fel. With the fel you will not need the grill guard. Check the wheel width dimension and buy a tiller that will work out your tracks on every pass. I just tilled an acre yesterday in about one hour. Those things are the cats meow.

What is a deluxe grader blade? Hydraulic angle would be nice if you can afford it.

Welcome to the club in advance, Jeff

I would recommend a grill guard even with a FEL. If you hook and lift anything with the loader, It's almost impossible to keep it from swinging. A grill guard can save a lot of damage to the cowling and radiator. Kioti has developed a pretty nice guard for the DK's.

I agree Ted,
I got the grill guard on my DK.
Very nice and I can pull 2 spring loaded pins and it flips down out of the way if you want to remove the nose(grill).

Ted,Any idea what Kioti is getting for the guard?
My son was moving his Jet Ski via sling and it was swinging pretty good,I was a little worried and that got me thinking about a grille guard......Mike
