Kioti DK40se HST with FEL, Simplicity Landlord, JD130
Howdy folks,

I spent 3 years researching my purchase of a DK40se hst in 2012 and I was very well informed of Kioti products back then. I am very happy with the balance of features, power, and weight of this tractor. Since my purchase, I've not kept up with new Kioti products since my dealer is about 130 miles from my house, and thankfully, the tractor has been very reliable.

Friends occasionally ask questions about my tractor since there are very few Kioti tractors in this area. They wonder if they could get a similar tractor and what that might cost. As I read information here, and look at the Kioti website, it is apparent much has changed in the product lineup since Tier 4 kicked in. Is there something comparable to the DK40 I own? And what might that go for?

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks,
Mike

The current NX series is the equivalent of the previous DK series.

The current DK series is the equivalent of the previous DS series.

Dunno why Kioti chose to shuffle things like that...

Agree. Confusing nomenclature.

For the OP, probably the closest current tractor to the DK40se would be the NX4510. Different engine but same loader and basic specs.

I am very happy with my DK40 and the price was pretty dang good. Thoughts on what a NX4510 might go for new?

Think the answer will make me feel good about what I bought and when.

I think you mean: the current DS is what used to be the DK series.

Nope. Current DKxx10 (DK4510 for example) is the size/weight (roughly) of the past DS.

Current NXxx10 (NX4510, etc) is roughly the size/weight of the past DK.

The DS,DK and NX from 40-60hp are all very similar weight as well as loader, 3PT and hydraulic pump output. There are however some significant differences such as motor even at the same HP.
