Re: Can\'t find CK20 with loader and backhoe in NE
If you have no luck with the ck20 take a look at the Mahindra 2015 if you havn't yet, backhoes were released last week, nice unit, 7' 10" digging depth. Delivered my first last saturday, very impressive hoe. If you want to see one we are in Connecticut, give me a call to check availibility, everything i got in last week is sold(for 2015's), have more coming middle to end of next week.
Re: Can\'t find CK20 with loader and backhoe in NE
The tractor supply seems a little lean in NE right now. I am trading in my CK20 TLB for a DK35 TLB and have just been waiting and waiting. My dealer did get in a load of FEL's and BH's for all the CK's and DK's, but no tractors yet. I was talking with another dealer that said most of the CK25's and 30' aren't going to be available until sometime in August. Heck, I waited many years to have my farm, I can wait a few weeks for a tractor.
Re: Can\'t find CK20 with loader and backhoe in NE
I want to thank everybody for their responses but I ended up ordering a Kubota BX23 this morning. I had gone round and round with this and finally decided on the Kubota after looking at it, the Massey GC2310, and the Kioti CK20. Although I would have been nice to have a bigger tractor I finally came to the conclusion that for my property a smaller tractor actually made more sense. I am also on a bit of time crunch and budget did not want to wait to see if any hoes arrived and/or spend more money for a Woods. Who knows, maybe once I get the BX23 I will get the bug for a bigger tractor. Thanks again.

Congratulations Jim. You'll be able to do a lot with that setup and I'm sure you'll be happy. After getting some experience with the BX, you'll find you can do a lot more than you would have expected. John
Re: Can\'t find CK20 with loader and backhoe in NE
I ended up getting the BX23 from Chappell Tractor in Milford NH. They were the closest dealer to me (about 15 minutes from where I work) and their price was good. The only cheaper price I got was from Messick in PA and finally decided not to go with simply because I wanted to buy from somebody more local to me. I work with couple of people who have also bought Kubotas from Chappell and had good things to say about them. I don't get the tractor for a couple of weeks - apparently they are backed up on preps and deliveries. I guess I will just have to be patient.
