Ok guys and gals, 2007 dealer program was posted this morning and here are the new models as listed in the program:

CK35 & CK35HST
DK35SE & DK35SE HST
DK40SE & DK45SE HST
DK45SE HST

Now, some interesting notes on these new models.

The CK30 takes the KL130 loader.
The DK35SE takes a KL351 loader package
THe DK40SE and DK45SE takes a KL401 loader
There are also two new backhoes, 2475 & 2485

The prices on the KL351 & KL401 loader are low so they are probably not self leveling. Doesn't look like you can get the KL451 on the DK45SE either. I will take as many pictures as possible at the Ag Expo on the 17th.

Any pricing info on that new DK 45SE HST with cab. I'm on the cusp of pulling the trigger on the purchase of the a DK 45S with cab and thinking now maybe I should wait and check out the new one.

The new CK35 will be the same exact tractor as the CK25 and 30 that is why they are using the KL130
You can always use the Woods 1012 you will end up with about 350lbs more lifting capacity.

The weights show different in the book though? CK35 being about 600 lbs more...

The way I understand it the DK45S and DK45SE are on different platforms. That is why the DK45SE will not be able to carry the KL451 loader. No cab for the DK45SE either.

In fact price for the DK45SE HST with the new KL401 loader package is almost identical to the DK45S with the KL451 loader package. Those new loaders are priced very nicely. Think that DK45SE HST will really hurt the sales of the DK45S if they don't find a cheaper loader to put on it.

Not sure, it's sort of like the 25hst and 30 gear stuff we run into alot.

I think the larger frame and heavier loader will still cause it to be a good seller.

I've been wrong before LOL.

Thats intersting that the ck35 is 600lbs heavier. The engine upgrade alone wouldnt account for the weight difference.. Perhaps they are upgrading the 3pt lift capacities as well ? This tractor will fill the void of those looking to run a 6ft brush hog or even a 84in finish mower while keeping the smaller frame size of the CK25 and Ck30... Kioti should definately upgrade the loader here though, a 35hp machine should as a minimum have the lift capacaties of the Woods 1012 loader. Perhaps the Kioti Reps will have some new insight at the upcoming show...

Couldn't agree more. The KL130 has barely any more lift capacity than the KL120 that fits on a 21hp tractor. No way the CK35 can be competitive with the Kubota L series in that HP range. The L3430 equiped with the LA752 loader will lift 1870lbs at pivot points and 2605lbs breakout while the KL130 (at least on a CK30) will only lift 1155 and breakout 2046lbs. Who would buy the CK35 with such a (relatively) wimpy loader?
