CK25 HST up to the tasks?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( John, it does not have a built in brush guard, nor does it have metal hoses. What I like about the bucket size is if it clears an object with the bucket, the rear tires just do clear and so does the 60" rmm. )</font>
Hmmm. I'll have to ask my dealer if it was a different loader. However, I remember we looked at in awe in the crate when he first got the loader in. I thought it was the KL130, but maybe it was something else. I'll let you know. John

Thanks to KiotiKevin and his CK25 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
<font color="blue">It appears that the CK20 had turf and the CK25 has AGs </font>
<font color="blue"> What puzzles me is why it looks like the CK20 has a bigger bucket. </font>
2 dimensional picture in a 3 dimensional world. Maybe Kiotikevin can comment on this. You can get a 48" & 54" bucket on the CK20 and a 54" & 60" on the CK25/30. I don't know if the buckets are the same size by volume.

If you check this website you will find pictures of the CK20 next to a CK30 (the CK30 pictured is the prototype model, the production model has the extendable links on the three point ends). Scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see a CK30, click on the 'more pictures' to see the CK20/CK30 side by side. Go back to the first page, find the CK25 clickable picture about one-third down the page. Click on the CK25 picture (tractor suspended between the backhoe and FEL bucket with industrial tires) when the next page opens click on the CK25 picture again, you'll get a full screen picture of the CK25.

<font color="blue">I hope your'e not offended by my question.... </font> Not in the least.

Questions are always welcome.

I finally solved the mystery. I called my dealer and he told me that what we had been looking at was the KL1231 that is for the TLB model of the 3054XS, not the KL130. It came flooding back when he told me that and I remember that we had been discussing the new XS models. Sorry for the confusion. John

Thanks Don,
The 2 buckets are the same size - 54". The larger size of My CK25 just makes the bucket look smaller. It was supposed to have a 60" bucket, it just came in last week. He is going to deliver it this week so I can put my 60" tooth bar on and get some diggin done.
