CK20 Market competition

[lynnmll]

I will be checking out the Kioti and then going back to the others that I've looked at. I thought that the $1500. was a good price for the MMM as well.
The tractors that I've looked at that I'd thought that I might buy was the BX2200 or JD 2210. I had made up my mind last fall on the B7500, but at this time I guess that it will depend upon price, availabilty, and dealers.
I am a long way from the fair here in N. Tx.
I have until the grass starts growing before I purchase unless I get a whale of a deal.

I noticed you we're looking at box blades. If your going to be doing any aggresive earth moving the larger heavier tractors will do a better job. Will you be considering a FEL? They are the greatest attachment of all. Mine has saved my back many a time. HP is only one part of the equation. IMO the manufacturers are putting larger engines in the sub-compacts for marketing purposes, not because they need them. I would take a compact over a sub-compact in general terms for the beefier hydraulics systems, greater lift on the 3 points and the loaders, the larger tires, more ground clearance. With 6 - 7 acres to maintain I would certainly go with one of the compact sized tractors verses the subcompact size. The CK20 has more standard features than the 7500.

No, I will only be useing the box blade as a tool to level up the yard. I might at some time do a little gravel moving but at this time I don't see that happening very much. I probably will purchase a FEL but I don't think so at this time. I have a contract to mow the 7-8 acres that will clear the tractor. My CFO will not approve a FEL until I can prove that it is needed.

I do see that the CK20H does have many more goodies than the 7500. It is also a much better price and from what I read not a lesser product. If anything a better product.

I have also received a price for $10,500 with valve plus the $1,500 for the mower. This is a little better price if I can only get my local dealer to buy in for this price.
