My friend had a DK45 Kioti with front end loader. It was the 4x4 model (45hp too!). Very good tractor. Had no problems with it. We cleaned up his 10 acres with it and my John Deere 950. They worked good as a pair. With it in 4 low it would bull its way around pretty good. Knocked over an old out building. Pushed plenty of tree's and stuff into the brush pile. Dug out some of the creek and pond with it. It handled snow duty really well also. Shuttle shift was great when running the loader. We never had any problems with the hydraulics not wanting to lift anything.
Kioti is a korean tractor and has been around for a long time. Just not in the USA. If you got a Kioti dealership around you go talk to them and check out the full line. They make tractors from very small up to around 100HP.
