Price Check Price on DK55 and DK75

[sburd]

I'm in the market for a tractor to plow about 30-40 acres and clear brush from another 30 acres. I was almost set on a Kubota 7040 but have a friend who raves about Kioti tractors.
Anybody have an idea on a fair price for a new DK55 with FEL and DK75 with same?
How would the Kioti's compare to the 7040? They seem a bit heavier.
I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Your profile doesn't show where you are located, which could help in getting answers to your questions. You might contact Rick Wallace, a Kioti dealer who is a very active member of TBN, at his website Wallace Tractor and Equipment NEPA Compact Tractors Lake Ariel Poconos Honesdale PA. He should be able to give you good pricing and availability.

Good luck with your shopping.

I'm sure Rick Wallace would be happy to give you a quote and easy delivery to Potsdam. I bought my tractor from him and I live almost 300miles away.

Check with Snell Equiptment in Potsdam,Kubota dealer.Matt has done very well in this area with Kubotas.

Welcome sburd and thanks for your service in Iraq. I think you would be happier with the 75 with the amount of ground you will be working, it would go well with a 3 btm plow. Don't know about prices, will try to do a bit of checking around for you.

Truck and trailer may require a CDL, look into some of the threads on the trailer forum. If you've got one GREAT!! Maybe you can haul some of our stuff

The CDL (commercial drivers license) limits a lot of us as to what we haul.
A DK55 with FEL and plow plus sundries and trailer may make it under 10Klbs. A DK75 (base weight 7.7K lb) would be pushing it.

Even though it may be "legal" to haul it over the CDL limit for personal use I don't want to get stopped an weighed and hassled.

Rick Wallace is on the way from VA to Potsdam. He is not far off 81 in Scranton. I went to College in Canton and presently live in N Va. We go up to Syracuse and to the Catskills several times a year so I get to stop by Wallace tractor. Well worth the trip.

Sburd
I sent you a PM.

Thanks for all the replies. Mr. Wallace has already provided me with a quote on the two tractors that he has in inventory and that is much appreciated.

I have contacted numerous dealers (Kioti and Kubota) via email while stationed over here and it is amazing how many refuse to give you a quote unless they have all of your personal information. Kind of like the game car dealers play. Some were dealers recommended off this site.

Only 3 out of 35plus contacted provided a quote and offered to help. Mr. Wallace was not included in the 3 mentioned above as he contacted me after seeing my post. Guess who I'm leaning toward doing business with.

It seems the average dealer (car, motorcycle, tractror, ect) doesn't understand how to deal with customers in a positive way. Provide assistance before the sale, fair pricing and good after sale service and you probably have a customer for life.
Thanks again Mr. Wallace.

Thanks again Mr. Wallace.

A lot of us have had the pleasure of dealing with Rick. We tease him a bit (well maybe more than a bit) as he is the kind of guy who takes it well. However, I should not fail to note that one of the main reasons I chose him as my dealer in addition to his great attitude, prices and support is that he is actually a very impressive and very hard working business man. He is clear, no BS and follows through. He doesn't try to oversell but is free with helpful advice both before and after a sale. His shop is not so big that you cannot get to talk to him if you need to but his staff (really more of a team) seem to have adopted his style so that a phone call is almost never wasted. I'm sure I'd love my DK anyway but it actually does improve the ownership experience to know that I can get help just by stopping the engine, pulling out the cell phone and making a quick call. Rick has put together an impressive and efficient operation so gets kudos for being a plain old fashion solid business man in addition to the rest. Maybe we should send him to Wall St to sort things out.

Well said Island....except that I'd hesitate to send him to Wall street.....you'd soon discover he'd be spending all of his time at the many good restaurants down there!! He'd become a food service stimulus "package".

Okay why are you sucking up what did you break now??
Stop your making me
No wait keep going...

Well I am glad to hear Rick sent you a PM. If I were closer, I would have bought from him.

Good dealers like Wallace are hard to find.

Nah, the kudos are well deserved.

Haven't actually "broken" anything since I pretzeled my bucket level gauge on an overhanging branch but I have managed to jam one inch sticks into my throttle mechanism and bent the dipstick tube another time the same way. I'm gonna need some of that forestry undercarriage protection pretty soon if I keep this up.

I thank you for your service to our country. God Bless you and keep you safe.
You won't go wrong with Rick Wallace..I bought new from him and was treated fair and square. I am sure he made a profit, but I intend eat and drink most of that up at the picnic this year IF he invites me.

 

[Dodgeram]

You definately cannot beat the Wallaces.
I ordered my filter kit (and a part I broke ) yesterday and Mrs. Tractor had them at my office this afternoon.
They are some of the best folks around.
