Ordered my new DK45SE HST today from John's Tractor World in Vinita, OK. I want to thank all you guys for the information provided in this forum. It was extremely helpful as I narrowed down my choices to New Holland, Mahindra and Kioti. Eventually the features versus price and quality of the finished product made it an easy decision to buy the DK45SE. It gets here on Friday - can't wait. I've been tending to 98 acres of pasture, woods, restored prairie, horses, goats and llamas with a 1951 Ford 8N. It's served me well, but I always wanted a new tractor with a loader. After reading the different forums I got the QA bucket, a set of pallet forks and a new 6' Bush Hog.
Looking forward to joining the pack!
