Just about to sign a great deal on a 4x4 Kioti 65 HP, does anyone own one and have the good or bad opinion.

Thx
Chip

Chip,

Go to their web site, see where they are made. They sold pretty well around here for a while, but I'm not sure how they are doing now. I was hearing some talk about the PTO engaging mechanism that didn't sound so good.

If I was buying new, I'd pony up the extra $$ for a Kubota. I've had one, toughest little tractor I ever saw.

Just MHO. UFO Man

So i assume if a Kubota is the toughest tractor youve seen youve never seen a MF 135?!!!

The DK 65 has a Perkins Turbo diesel in it so it is a well known power plant. The 65 is a nice rig, the cab is superb. They are built in South Korea by Daedong and are sold all over the world. No powershift available on them though.

The PTO is inpendent and electrical operated. The problem is you have to remember not to engage heavy loads when the tractor rpm is up high. The engagement is rather sudden kind of like a hydraulic independant PTO before you learn the lever can be feathered.

The PTO is 2 speed (540/1000) so you can idle around with a low hp implement like a tedder or rake saving fuel.

The DK 55 loader is reportedly a big hunk of dog mess. The DK65 loader has a better rep.
