I just purchased an NX6010 HST cab (14 hours). It is not the tractor my 14-year-old DK45HST cab is. Yea, it has more horsepower plus major unwanted problems. I was told that the NX had a heavier front axle and was built better than my DK45. Not true. My tractor hesitates when it moves forward or back, then jumps rapidly. My buddy was helping me hook up a 3-point counterweight, and I started to creep back, but it hesitated and then jumped. Luckily, he was not between the tractor and the implement, if so, he would have gotten hurt. Several items that were standard on my DK45 were missing or options on the new NX: the left seat armrest missing, the FEL bucket guide rod is missing, the rear windshield wiper is an option, and the radio faceplate is an option. You would think a 50-grand tractor would have these.<br>
When I went to hook up a hay accumulator/grapple, I could not see over the hood where the face plates were supposed to hook into the implement�s slots. Bing 6ft 2, the only way to see was to sit on the front edge of the seat so I could look over the front end of the hood. Even then it is hard to see the right side because the 3rd function couplings are in the way. I tried to look outside the FEL arms but the face plates are not visible. My DK45 is a breeze compared to the NX. On the DK45 the face plates and implement slots are visible directly in front of you and on the outside of the FEL arms. I will say the 2 pin-locking system is a lot better than the single arm locking on the DK45.<br>
The four-wheel drive will not engage. The dealer just told me there is a factor recall because there is a ground problem on the four-wheel button � plus a recall on the hydrostatic transmission. Now I am asking myself what I gained buying the 50 grand NX. <br>
If you get a third-function valve, be sure the couplings match your attachments. Mine came with poppet (Pioneer) fittings. My attachments are flat faced so it cost me nearly 100 bucks to change out. I prefer the flat face because they connect easier and are easier to keep clean. A dirt dauber can build a nest in the female poppet fitting. Yes, I know they come with protective covers, and if you never mess up you are OK.<br>
The NX came with R-14 tires. They cut the ground up a lot more than the industrial on DK45. I plan to have a pull-off between the DK45 industrial and NX R-14. The only way I could pick up a 7FT x 38IN log was to put 850LB counterweight on the 3-point. Even then, the R-14 still spun out partly because the four-wheel drive will not engage.<br>

Last post I thank all you guys for the info & headed out to TSC to exchange the driveshaft. Well my hat is off to the folks at Johnson City TN Tractor Supply Company. Took the driveshaft back, they didn't have another one of the same grade. They upgraded me to a really good quality heavy duty driveshaft for the price of .01 cent without a hassel. Don't know if those folks are ever on here but thanks to Brad Store Manager, Matt & Ashley! Great customer service!! Thank you guys on here again also,,, phil
