New DK45S

[Ken_In_NH]

I just got back from Upper Valley Tractor in Enfield, NH. I just bought a DK45S w/KL451 FEL and KB2485 Backhoe. Dave will deliver it Wednesday after I get out of work.
Wow! What a tractor. I started out shopping for a tractor of about 30-35 hp. I looked at New Holland, Kubota, MF, JD, Mahindra and Kioti. Somehow the tractor kept growing.
Dave gave me a great deal on the 45, so that's what I bought. I doubt I'll be able to hurt it.
Wednesday sure seems like a long way off now.

Ohhh those sleepless nights!

Welcome to the Kioti pack.

Welcome to the Pack!

That DK45 is nice looking machine. Is that BH one of the new curved booms they are using? It looks like it in the picture on their website.

Where abouts are you in NH? I am in the Wolfeboro/Winnipesaukee area.

When I got my new CK20, my dealer kept posting pictures here of the progess they were making while installing the cab and other options. That made the wait a little easier but it's still tough.

Morning and welcome to TBN Ken.

Sooo you were the gentleman than pass me w/big grin yelling yahhoooo

Yup Dave down to earth dealer...nothing but good things been said about him!!

Post some pics if you get a chance,and try not to wear holes in your socks from pacing.

Yes, it has the new curved boom backhoe. KB2485 i believe is the model of it.
I had Dave install a mechanical thumb on it also.
Dave's great and so are his guys in the shop.
Wednesday sure seems like a long way off.

Tractor just kept growing huh . . . it's funny how they do that. Mine did they same thing, went from a 15hp tractor to 45hp. I got a little nervous the first couple of weeks thinking maybe my motto of "you can never have too much hp" had finally bitten me in the a**. But as time as come to pass I find us using the DK more and more. We are on just under 5.5 acres but it is a 30 year old farm and it nees LOTs of work so the 45 comes in handy. Congrats on the purchase.
