Oil & Fuel CK20 fuel tank relocation ?

[Slackdaddy]

I think I am going to end up going with a CK20, but with a custom Hoe sub frame.

I will probobly go with a Woods BX70 and a custom subframe to get the outriggers about 1-2" off the rear tires. this would put the BH seat where the fuel tank is.
Has any ever moved the fuel tank on a CK20 ?

Thanks,
Slack

MY question is why are you going to do this?
Have you seen a CK20 with a Woods hoe on it yet?

After much research I believe the CK20 is the machine I want, but the kioti hoe hangs way off the back and is not going to work for Me.

I have not been able to find and pics of a woods on a CK.
I have just seen the Stock kioti set up that hangs WAY out there.
I can not really see how any hoe could fit tight to the back of a CK20, it would put the BH seat where the fuel tank is.
I plan on having the BH on 90% of the time and want (need) it mounted tight to the back of the tractor.

Thanks,
Nick

How about this? It's the pic of my CK when Rick had it with the Wood BH on it. I opted for the Kioti BH.

CJ,
Thanks for the picture, that is just what I am looking for,,, Minus the 1 foot between the outriggers and the rear tires.

I looked at the woods manual online, I could take 1' out of the bracket between the BH and the 4pt subframe and it would be perfect except the BH seat would be where the fuel tank is. So I have to figure out what to do with the fuel tank ?

Simple alteration in MS paint,
but here is what I am after, I really do not want to purchase a Kubota 2320, but they have the whole backhoe thing down.

Maybe you should look at the LK 30

KIOTI - run ahead of the pack!)

Or a B21. I wouldn't move the tank.... and where would you put it? Now you might be able to do that with a CK25/30/35. But, then they're bigger to begin with. Not sure about the length, but what about a TYM T273?

What one sees can be deceiving, but when I saw 2 CK20's next to each other, one with the factory BH and the other with the Woods, the one with the Woods looked to be sticking out further.

It might have been because the the Woods BH was just smaller, making it look as though it was sticking out further.

Personally, if I were to make the choice again, I'd still go with the Factory BH. It comes with a rear remote, cost was a couple bucks less and it just looked more sturdy.

BTW, I wouldn't want any custom frame with any BH. Reason is is that if anything breaks, it's going to be blamed on the custom sub-frame. When you're spending this kind of money, I say leave well enough alone and only change it if there is a problem one can't get around without it being shorter.

The back hoe on my Lk3054xs (lk30) is tight up against the machine, makes trailering a lot easier and the 4 point mount is excellent.
