ERE,
I would give a light weight 6' bush hog type cutter a try. There is a difference between the light & heavy weight mowers. If you are mowing the same ground on a regular basis & the grass isin't too tall i do not see why the Ck25 could not handle a 6'er. It's a $500 gamble compared to a $5K loss if you trade up. I have 244 hrs on my CK & the dealer is offering $11.5K on a trade to a DK40se.
