CK 20 Are they being delivered to customers yet?

It was a 2wd. Yeah, I figure that he was doing much of the hard work that I won't have to do very often...he was backing down to the pond and cutting down some 2" to 3" trees...the property hasn't been cared for in several years and this was the first good bush hoggin' it's had in a while. I'm still set on the CK 20.

Bigold...How much land will you need to be mowing on a regular basis?

Everyone will think I'm nuts, but I have 20 acres. About half is in Christmas trees, so I needed somethin narrow enough to fit down the rows. The biggest mowing portion is 5 acres that will be horse pasture, so that will only need to be "touched up" every few weeks or so. Plus I have 4 other operators in the household, and 3 of them are women, so I needed something managable for them to use and feel comfortable.

Bottom line? I'm still set on the CK20 too!

hey, if I get mine first, do I win a prize? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I have been in similar situations with a Yanmar and 4' hog. I think you will be really happy with the CK20 (especially if you lose it to those other operators and have to buy two...)

Looks like you have a good plan in having the CFO write out the checks for someone else to mow where you should be getting the tractor time. That combined with her other expendutures should have you close to the tractor. You might be running even with Mathey on being the first of our TractorByNet group to post your own CK 20 pictures.

This brings back memory of my first tractor purchase (1520 Ford). We needed to have rough/finish grading, large amount of fill dirt with top soil added, then seed over one acre. Quotes were 3000$ with 2000$ being fill, topsoil, and materials. Convinced my CFO that if I had tractor with box blade we could save the 1000$ labor and put towards tractor (my soon to be new toy). Later we moved to another city and did not have any property to use tractor on and sold tractor. Now moved again an looking for another tractor. Trouble is CFO thinks her furniture purchase should come before tractor. I best start looking for the furniture.
