Kioti Dk45se hst or DK50se hst

[liberty2701]

I presently own a Mf gc2610 which is a subcompact which worked fine until I moved to 200 acres. I am now looking to upgrade and am considering Kioti because it seems that you get a lot more for your money. I am looking at the Dk45 or 50 se hst. I am not at all familiar with these tractors other than the internet. I am looking to use it for all the usual tasks. I would want a backhoe since I am looking to clear 3 acres of land. A front mounted snow blower( a must), tiller for the fields and a rough cut mower. Is this tractor capable of land clearing and grading without any problems? Any recommendations to a different model? Thanks again

Hmmm if I'm spending your money I would go for the 50 cause I like HP. You going to run a Hydraulic Blower with power pack?

Are they both Hydrostat.?. Get Hydro for sure if you are going to snowblow.. What are you for sure going to put on it.. either tractor is fine, the only difference is a few HP. but depending what you are going to do, some extra HP can be nice. But on the other hand, if it means saving money for an implement you need, that may make the difference.

How is the reliability and durability compared to a MF?

Do some research on the forums here and you will know that Kioti is as good as any other machine and some better.

Well murph and I are both biased, we both own them..

Masseys are good (smaller ones in this size range are made by Iseki, a japanese firm) and the Kioti's are made by a company called Daedong, from S. Korea.. they are all good.

How about a machine of this size for digging stumps?

Kioti is one of the better brands and for less money especially when you get into that HP range.

How many stumps? If a lot of stumps I would hire a Dozer.

Are the loader and backhoes quick disconnect? I did not see that on the website
