You're stuck in the past Art. You sound like a Toyota dealer telling potential customers that all Hyundais are crap. Stop repeating your old dealer sales lines and go check out the competition. Sounds like you haven't actually seen a new DK or DS series Kioti much less operated or comparison priced one.
I mentioned the DK originally in this thread simply because it was capable of doing everything the OP listed on his task list and was comparable to the other tractors people were discussing (as well as being less expensive). That is what the forum is for isn't it? Your annoyance with Kioti's existence is old news on TBN but they are growing a lot faster than Kubota in recent years. Don't worry though, Kubota's number 1 spot in the CUT world is safe just like Toyota's is in the car world. You'll be hearing a lot more about Kioti/Hyundai in the future though so it might be wise to actually learn something about the products being sold today.
Really I don't enjoy threads being changed over to other stories and getting off track!
I have nothing against the kioti line or any of the hundreds of other lines. I just try to make sure people get their best value in a tractor that fits their needs.
