New CK20S!

[novi408]

natem,
The plow was made by Michigan Iron and Equipment. Here are a couple of poor pictures of it. It has a Quick Way blade on a subframe mount with full hydraulic control. I'm looking forward to using it on the snow this winter.

MDM,
You're right, the other machines I was looking at were sub-compacts, but part of what I was looking at was capability/$ and total cost along with size. The CK20S fell into similar size as far as wheelbase and turning radius although is substantially heavier and taller and was at or below the price of some of the SCUTs I was looking at. I figured for same price (or less) I would get the machine with better capabilities. If overall size/weight were the main concerns, some of the other machines may be more appealing.

I like that DMace, welcome to the pack, in orange!

Don't encourage him. He's only one font change away from becoming Kioti's LBrown.

Hey now, I take offense to that!

OK, that does it. You are hereby nominated as the official Kioti representative to the Board of the LB Brown Fan Club.

I like that blade. I presume you have to take the loader off to mount it? Does it use the loader joystick for control? How does it attach under the tractor?

Looks to me he is bucking for president of the LBBFC

Oh no! Don't make me add anyone else to my "ignore" list.

Gittyup,
Yes, the loader has to come off to attach the blade. It does use the loader joystick for control. The blade frame attaches to a mount bolted to the frame of the tractor near the rear and another near the front. 3 pins and it is on or off. I would guess that after putting it on once or twice it will take the same amount of time as swapping the loader.

I want one of those! Even though we only get on average 4 - 8" of snow per year......Guess I can't justify it.

You just need to find other things to do with it and it makes it easier to justify!
