Kioti DK40 SE HST Review (Part 2 of 2)

[@Andrew_From_NB]

Thanks sandy for the tour and review, my dad has a 2014 Ck30 that he bought new and now has 600hrs on it an it literally has had 0 issues with it during its time, he does all his own maintenance an such, an that alone I find quite impressive of how well it’s treated him. I’ve been researching tractors for a bit an hopefully at some point soon I’ll be able to get a tractor of my own.. an it will be a kioti :). Thanks again Sandy! Take care!!

[@sawingwithsandy]

That's great to hear. These machines seem to be solid!

[@Andrew_From_NB]

@@sawingwithsandy most definitely and reasonably priced, although I haven’t looked at pricing lately 🥴

[@peterbrunetto8062]

Thanks Sandy , I have a Bx2380 kubota but I couldn’t lift a 50 gal diesel tank and the greasing was a effort and couple of grease fittings were not even touched so I decided to trade it in and get a Kioiti or TYM

[@walterkucharski4790]

I have a DK50 SE It has the same cab layout . Mine came with 2 sets of Hydraulic ports in the rear which is handy for a lot of my equipment. I also have the Kioti backhoe which gets a lot of use on my 100 acre woodlot/ home. I now have 350 hrs and no issues at all. My only complaint is the engine noises are quite loud compared to Deere or Kubota. I still believe that I got the best tractor for the money. Good luck with yours from a fellow Canuk.

That does sound like a nice machine Walter. I did have a look at the DK50 and if I needed up buying new it may have been the one I got it if it weren’t for the second hand dk40 I found. I bet having the backhoe is a nice feature. Maybe one day I’ll find an excuse to buy one. Implements are always never enough I find haha. Thanks for watching

[@walterkucharski4790]

@@sawingwithsandy I did buy it used with only 100 hrs on it only #30K with the backhoe. I am very happy with it. If you are interested I would like to sell the backhoe with hydraulic thumb. I am shopping for an excavator as I have a lot of ditching and tree work ahead. Cheers.

[@pineforest7528]

I've also noticed that the engine on my DK45se is fairly loud, but I don't know how loud a 45-hp tractor should be . I wear ear protectors when using the tractor (a good idea with most machinery).

[@purpleleaf16]

@@walterkucharski4790 if you still have the backhoe implement for sale and are on the east coast of the united states, give me a reply

[@4x4Moses]

I bought a DK4510 a few months ago, after considering John Deere, Mahindra, and Kubota. Dollar-for-dollar, I believe the Kioti is a much better tractor. I am very happy with my purchase.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Your experience looking at all the other main tractor brands sounds alot like mine. I wasn't leaning towards any particular brand and so I took an unbiased approach but still ended up on a Kioti and I still think I made the right choice. Happy tractoring!

a trick: watch series on Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@sullivanraymond5378]

@Kyler Messiah Yea, been watching on Kaldrostream for months myself :)

[@pineforest7528]

I have a 2014 tier 3 DK45se ROPS and it has been almost flawless in the 5 years since. Simple, solid, totally reliable. Great power and weight for a 45 hp tractor.

[@sawingwithsandy]

I’m sure that tractor of yours is as solid as mine. You know exactly what I mean when I talk about my tractor and how reliable it is

[@mattpkp]

And the biggest question how much did it cost

[@sawingwithsandy]

Don't remember exactly but around 30k

[@dennishayes65]

Matt : I got my 2015 RX 7320 pcc with loader in Jan. 2017 for $ 38,500 + tax in Minnesota ! Great tractors !

[@AD-hr4is]

Very good video and detailed.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks I appreciate that

[@royzgto]

Nice video I test drove the ck3510se cab and the dk4210se cab and can’t make up my mind 3510 is nicer with the linked pe😂

[@royzgto]

Th3 dk4210se is so much bigger and about 2500 more I’m thinking tharts the way to go

[@sawingwithsandy]

@@royzgto I really was sceptical a out the bigger size too but now I wouldn't want anything smaller. I find the dk size is perfect. Hope the decision gets easier for you but either way, you'll have an awesome tractor.
