I have about 560 hours of use on my DK65 with cab and front end loader and it has been back to the dealer a couple of times for clutch issues. The dealer has been very good to take care of the issues at no cost. I use a 9ft gehl disc mower and 630 new holland round baler. I cannot say I run in the high side of the transmission when using these two pieces of equipment(as the previous post) but it gets the job done. I am in rolling country and am in medium range most of the time. The unit does put out more than advertised PTO horsepower so I cannot complain. I had just been use to 100+ horsepower tractors. I am also glad to here they improved the AC output because mine does not amply cool the cab. As with all new products these tractors are being improved upon. I feel they are a good product for the money.

I have almost 800 hours on my DK - 65. I am a hay farmer. The tractor is very fuel efficent, quiet, strong, easy to operate and non fatiguing. I round bale 6' X 6' round bales with a 485 New Idea Bale King. I can do this a 22 miles per hour, yes in 11th. gear. 12th if the land is smooth. That's moving efficent. The remote for the drag links on the rear saves big time when hooking up a box scraper, ten foot blade, bush hog, rake, etc..

Snow is not a problem she just plows through two foot of snow.

With a good season this year I will be added a second Kioti to are farming operations this winter/fall.

This is apsoultely the best tractor I have ever owned or operated
