I know the woods will work as it is light but the KK is much cheaper but much heavier. Both are rated for the HP of the ck20 but it is the weight I am worried about.
THanks
Glick,
I have the CK20H with the KK48 from TSC, paid $1100+ last summer.
I looked at many brands and specifically picked the KK because it was GEAR drive with a slip clutch, it was heavier built,cost less than others.
The CK handles the weight just fine , in fact makes a great counter balance when doing loader work. ALSO when landscaping or removing soil , the tiller does a great job of loosing the soil so its easy to scoop with the loader. I've even used it to loosen up packed gravel ( pretty rough riding but it works).
As far as power ,in most soil you can run 2000 to PTO rpm's, if real heavy wet clay ,you'll want to run full throttle and back off on speed with the hydro. I've only stalled it a couple times in very heavy wet clay. Oh yeah I did stall it when I hit an old fence post and a big root and wrapped them up.!!
Glick, if you'd like to try out my CK and 48KK email and you can take a drive to Rochester and play ,oops, try mine out.
