I have a CK2510 and the hydraulics are fast as well. Shortly after I got it i made a longer joystick for it. The extra length and leverage gave me much finer control of things. This thread has more details: CX/CK2510 loader knob

I'm curious to see what you come up with.

You are right about the threads being M14x1.5. My lever is 21" long to the top if you measure from the plastic below the rubber boot.

M14x1.5 sounds about right with the threads. I'll check next time I'm out in the barn. It will be really enjoyable using the loader once you have it the length you need. I don't understand why they have such a short lever from the factory.

I think I might be the person you're referring to. I made a new lever for my CK2510. The knob isn't glued on if I remember. The top of the lever is gnarled and pressed flat so it spreads out wider than the diameter of the rod. The knob is just pressed on. I had a heck of a time getting it off. I...

Sorry it took so long to respond, I don't visit the site as much as I used to. That is a 12" bucket on the backhoe. It works great with the the size of the tractor. It could handle a little bit bigger bucket(if there's one that would fit) as long as the ground isn't too compacted and there...

Ukraine is a very large wheat producer. I expect the demand in other parts of the world will be pretty high and the U.S. will be exporting quite a bit of wheat this year as a result.

I have a 5075e with the power reverser. I find at times I'll have everything in gear, including the power reverser, and the N light will be lit up and the tractor won't move when I let out the clutch. This usually happens if I shift things quickly. I just shift the power reverser back to...

Soil composition varies at various depths as well. UC Davis is an excellent resource for soil maps (UC Davis Soil Maps). Lots of valuable information to be found about soil types, composition, classifications, etc. A real rabbit hole if you're into these sorts of things.

I agree that what is grown can help alleviate some of the effects caused by rototilling, but the actual rototilling does create a hard pan that will get worse if it's the only tillage method used. Unless the root system of whatever is grown can work it's way through that hard pan, or it's able...

Great point about rototillers forming a compaction layer. First time I've seen somebody mention it. They are convenient, but they really do destroy soil structure if you don't use other practices (ie. plant cover crops, subsoil, chisel plow etc.) to make up for the damage they do.

I just ordered an 84" Woodmaxx last week. It's due to ship out tomorrow. You might get lucky if you hurry.

I certainly have a few of those too, mostly marble. I think I got lucky with this one.

This rock has been bothering me for a while now. It's in the middle of an area I'd like to plow up, so I figured it was time to see how big it really was. So with the little CK2510 and a knife, I started digging. I'd dig with the backhoe, and start scrapping dirt away from under the rock with...

Allis Chalmers orange is a very close match. Tractor Supply sells spray cans of it. I used it on the wheel weights I made. Pictures are in another thread.

I have a CK2510 and the rear bolt pattern is the same as a Chevy/GMC 1500, 6 lug. I used the old brake discs off of my 2012 GMC Sierra as rear wheel weights. I'm not sure what the bolt pattern for the front is though. The wheels are hubcentric.

I've owned a geared CK2510 for the past 5 years, started with 1.5 acres and now on 16 acres. It's my little tractor now. It's been very reliable, but the PTO is not independent and there is no built in overrunning clutch, so you want to make sure you buy an overrunning clutch for the PTO if you...

I can now give a report on the BCRM175 I recently bought. I agree with DieselBound on how much of a beast this mower is. With the ditch bank mower, I recommend finding a helper for assembly since things are so heavy and a bit award to handle. The tolerances for the swing arm linkage are pretty...

I just picked up a BCRM175 today. Jack was extremely responsive with communicating. A+ on customer service so far. Delivery took about 1 week through UPS Freight. The crate got a little beat up, a few spots where the paint was scuffed off, but there doesn't appear to be any damage to the mower...

I used to work at a farm that had the same tractor, same year if I remember correctly. Cab, loader and 8x8 hydraulic shuttle shift transmission. It had over 2,000 hours in the 7 years I ran that tractor. We ran a John Deere 430 round baler the last couple years I was there. Baled about 1,000 4x4...

Long time lurker first time poster. I've owned a CK2510 for about 3 years now, so I thought I'd show some of the changes I've made. Maybe some of you will find it helpful, especially if you own a CK2510. Hopefully the pictures show up. 1) Made a new Loader Joystick as the factory one was way to...
