Buying Advice Kioti DK90

[lb-farmboy]

I have a dealer wanting to sell a 2012 DK90 with 288 hours, no loader......tractor is immaculate......32,500....I believe to be a fair price.....any advice on the price and also what about the tractor in general, anyone can tell me about reliability, etc.?

Not sure Grm61.......I would say 5500 tp 6500?.....and yes I would need to put a loader on it to feed hay.

DK series Kiotis are generally very reliable. Most I see here on TBN are 35-50HP, and an occasional bigger tractor.
To make sure, if it's important to you, exactly what year of manufacturer tractor you might buy, ask the dealer to verify it by the serial number coding, which is broken down in the service manual. Why no loader with it? Why traded in at such low hours? What would a new one with loader cost? Cabbed or open station...
What aside from hay will be your primary uses?
I can't comment on price- you may want to ask that Q in the Kioti buying/pricing forum.

I think it's a lot of tractor for the price but you need to make sure that transmission will fit your needs. A lot depends on how you are going to use it. Compared to other makes in that HP range, a lack of power shuttle puts it at a disadvantage IMHO. Moving lots of bales or general loader work the power shuttle really shines.

Also if you are using it for haying, the lack of gear choices could get aggravating. Do a search on here, there are several people who have extensive use of the tractor who use theirs primarily for haying.

My previous tractor was a Kioti and I really liked the quality and the Kioti dealer was gracious enough to let me try one for a couple of days. It just didn't fit my needs.

Good luck in your search!
