KL130 on a CK30 Problem

[IslandTractor]

When choosing between the 35 and 40 DKs be sure to compare the loader specs. I recall one of them being much more powerful.

Joe is correct. The KL351 loader for the DK35se lifts about 1400lbs at pivot pins. The KL401 for the DK40se and DK45se lifts a bit over 2700lbs at pivot pins.

There is not that much difference in price between the DK35se and DK40se and about two grand from the DK40se to the DK45se.

For my purposes the sweet spot was the DK40se with KL401. Only 10 hours in the seat so far but only good things to say. I'll post in more detail soon.

In regards to the woods loaders, i noticed woods now has curved arm loaders for some of the smaller compacts as well now.. A nice fit for the ck35 and dk35 would be the new Woods LC 102, max lift is 1650 lbs to the pivot point... These loaders would make a perfect match for these tractors in my opinion.. You can see them now on the Woods webpage...

So Island... Whats it like having almost 3 times the lift capacity of your old machine... How do you like the DK40? Matt

Once I can wipe the grin off my face I'll start writing to describe the new DK40. I am also very impressed with the Caroni TM1900 flail mower.

You are a gentlemen and a scholar. I am honored.

I'd be curious to see a side by side comparison with the Kioti loader to see how far the loaders sit out in front of the tractors.

When I went to play..er .. um I mean test drive the DK35, it had the KL351 and another tractor had a new Woods FEl on it. It wasn't quite the apples to apples comparison I was hoping to see, as a DK and CK are different. It may have been more of a red delicious vs. a granny comparison. The dealership stated that a primary reason fro people choosing the woods over the KL351 was that the woods is QA and the KL351 is just a FEL. I went to the Woods home page and did not see it advertised that way, with alternate implements.

Am I wrong in this assumption, that QA should mean disconnect one attachment and attach another. Because if it is just about removal of the unit, it seems like a worthless option. Now the specs between the two loaders are different, and to me that is primary choice between the two (if of course Kioti and Woods are doing their spec sheets the same way).
