malk315 said:I find it interesting that Island Tractor traded up his CK20 for DK45se and I could be wrong, but I think he bought it from Keith Wallace. His CK20 dealer was the same as mine. There's a good sized Kioti dealer in RI that Island tractor could have used, but he chose Keith.
I think you are referring to Rick Wallace and yes that is who I bought by DK40se from. Rick and his crew do a good job of providing support by phone but having your dealer 300 miles away is sometimes tough. For me it was not such a stretch as my tractor is on an island so even a trip to the closest dealer is a pain and I therefore try to do everything myself (with a little help from Rick and my friends on TBN
I appreciate your desire to keep the tractor indoors (I keep mine in a barn) but these things are in fact designed to survive outdoors 24/7. No doubt they'll last a bit longer if kept indoors and the paint will certainly look better but I wouldn't get too concerned about having a tractor sitting on a dealer's lot for a few months in the Spring/Summer.
For what it's worth, Rick sells so many tractors that they barely have time to get them assembled from the crate before they are out the door to the customer.
