For Kioti Experts, First Year of 55 or 65 with HST transmission ?????

[nc redneck]

My 45 SE is a great tractor but dream of a Cab. Because of my needs if I add AC I need 10 or more additional HP. It seems that 55 and 65 HST only recently became available. Looking at 55 or 65 cab tractors the sticker shock is just as bad as when I bought my 2013 3500 !!!!!
I started to look used but have not hit on anything but gear tractors. I will be hot and suffer from bees, dust and pollen before I give up my HST. My last gear tractor was well over 25 years ago.
Just want to make sure I am not missing anything on Kioti production.
Thanks
Scott

Dont forget you are facing the Tier 4 now too, so yes prices are going to be a bit more. I wonder if you got the dealer really really looking for that last DK50HST Cab tractor you would be satisfied with that? You know there has to be one out there somewhere.

I don't believe you will. When I purchased mine in 2012 the biggest HST available was the DK50 or I would have had the 55 with a HST. CJ

NX6010HST now available. Very nice Hydro with lots of new features. Anti Stall, Engine throttle tied to HST pedal so engine goes to idle when you stop moving. You can even dial in an adjustment to pedal response. With anti stall, the tractor will automatically compensate for "too much hst pedal" in heavy load situation to help with those of us that tend to push down harder when we should let up to "downshift". Also availalbe in a NX5510HST, but not sure if those are shipping yet
