thanks, now I wish I had a cab. Especially as the weather is taking the yearly turn for the worse and I am nowhere near done with my grading and backfilling. Would love to have more lift capacity too, the 45 just isn't cutting the mustard on these large rocks.
Wow, Now I am even more anxious to get my new toy. Thank you so much for posting those pictures, that was very kind of you to take the time to do that. I have got to say, the people on this board are some of the nicest people you will find on the internet. A lot of other places on the net could take lessons from you guys, as you always seem to have a kind word, you help with each other's problems, and like Scott, you go out of your way to help somebody like me learn a little more about things. Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for posting these pictures.

You won't get much more lift out of the DK55 as what you have now.
If you want to try it I have a new 55 cab getting ready for it's tires to be installed I can always put your name on it

PA Hayseed, Have you tried using a forklift attachment instead of the bucket?
My DK45 can lift any rock I can stuff into the bucket, and it can lift bigger ones on the forks. Iffen I can't lift them I roll them, but there's only been one so far. I looked at a used 55 before Rick piped up and made me a deal I couldn't refuse. My excrutiating researched revealed that the 55 didn't offer much more as far as lift capacity.

are they ever going to make this model in a hydro tranny? id love to buy one with a hydro the cab is so roomy too
I have a John Deere with HST tranny. The Kioti has the shuttle shift. After using it a bit, I have adjusted to the clutch and shuttle, not that big a deal to use. I am a bit slower with the shuttle, but the power of this tractor is actually very impressive for the horsepower. It is not easy for me to endorse a tractor after only about 60 hours of use, but so far, it has done everything I have asked of it, and I have asked more than most would from a tractor of this size. You wont be sorry if you buy. Another good thing about the shuttle tranny is that you get a better power to wheel ratio with this tranny than you would with the HST.
