Really close to buying DK45SE HST

I don't know if Kioti still has a zero percent rate but in August you could get zero percent for 36 months.

According to Kioti's web page, they have the 0%/36month with a down payment until the end of Dec. How much down depends apparently depends on your credit score. They also have 4.99%/48, 4.99%/60, 4.99%/72 and 5.99%/84 with no down until the end of Dec.

Thanks for the responses,,,,just got back from the cabin,,,,The credit union approved me less than a day....Anyways,,,the tires will be filled with beet juice. C/U rate is 5.45 for 60 months. Cash deal thru dealer saves 1050.00.
I will be paying off the loan a quicker than 60 months....Just have to juggle a few things around first. Will be selling a HD ultra classic soon....Have 2, only need one now....Wife is willing to ride on the back most of the time now. She really wants a new tractor I guess.

Hey Dave, what price didi you get?

I have the 45se, i had the rears filled. Just one little thing. If you happen to notice a good deal of excessive vibration in the front end, especially when going down the road in high, check your rears for the correct tire pressure.

Weirdest thing, couldn't figure out why it was vibrating like that. Sometimes it is the simplest of fixes, unfortunately most of the time it isn't.

My local dealer here VA just left me a message yesterday that said they can fill the rears now. They just did their in stock 45 and he said the difference is noticeble. I just don't know if I need it as I don't do to much heavy lifting nor do I think the extra weight is great for my pastures since the 45 is already a heavy machine. It is indeed a great option for those who need it but just doing it for the sake of it is beyond me.

If you don't notice 1) four wheels spinning and digging ruts or 2) the rear end coming up or being "light", then you don't need the extra ballast. I wouldn't load my tires if I was primarily doing chores and mowing. Clearing brush and lifting heavy items demands the best traction and balance possible and although the tractor is heavy, it is also powerful and has a powerful loader.

Based on your description than I don't need it. Only time I get any spinning is coming up inclines sometimes and that is because I don't typically keep it in 4wd. A quick step on the diff pedal of a flip of the 4wd switch and I am off. Mowing and chores are 99% of my day. Thanks for the info.

I had mine filled mainly because I dig alot, and seem to be constantly moving dirt, gravel, etc etc. I am not a professional, but a loaded fel of wet dirt or gravel is quite heavy, and if you drop that boom quick, up comes the rear. My last tractor didn't have the rears filled, but on this one I got it done. This is just my 2 cents, you only have to have that tractor tip forward once and it will change your mind.

Like Island said, if your doing grass cutting and doing little to no FEL work, I can't see you needing it either.
