All I can tell you is I really like my DK 35 !!
I have used it on my 15 acres for everything from building my driveway, clearing overgrown fields and brush, building and maintaining my lawn (mowing), tilling, digging all my own utilities (around 1500'), digging drainage ditch's for pipe and stone(around 1000'), coulvert ditchs and pipe, Etc. Etc.
I have got an amazing amount of work done on my property over the past few years.
3 1/2 years and 540 hours I'm more pleased with this tractor than ever !!
I would definately buy another DK 35..
Only problems so far were 1 leak on a loader tilt cylinder (repaired under warranty) and a broken tachometer cable (cost around $8).

I've had no problems with mine either other than one plastic handle on a support for the ROPS that broke, replaced under warranty by the dealer who brought it to me, 37 miles.
There have been reported a surprisingly low number of problems, and Kioti has pretty much stood behind all of them, albeit sometimes not as quickly as would be desirable.
I've slowed down a good bit due to work, but over 300 hours in a year and a half of a lot of intense work, and mine is going strong.

Before I bought mine I noticed the same thing while touring the other forums. Very few reported problems. Nothing like what I read in the other forums. Loader problems, front differential problems, trans problems, starting problems. All major items I believe. I feel confident about my decision. Plus the best group of tractor owners to call on for advice. Win win situation for me.

I'm waiting on a DK45s now! This is suppose to be the week.
Like I've said numerous times before, I would have bought any of the major brands. My first choice was a Mahindra until I sat in it, uncomfortable for me. In my case it came to fit, features, finances and TBN opinions. Kioti won................
