Extensive CK25 Pics

KiotiJohn · Jul 26, 2004

I went out to my dealer's today, Bigtractorsupply.com, and took pictures of a CK25HST, all around it.
The tractor is almost the size of the DK35, is quieter than my CK20HST, and has a lot more goodies like:
Liftable 3pt hitch shield, telescoping lift arms, 3 ranges, mud guard at the platform, extra flashers and white running lights, Tilt Steering Wheel, better sway guards, and more.
In high range it will move on down the road.
It comes with the joystick and valve block.
The seat is very nice with an adjustable back, spring adjustment, forward/back of course.
A small tool box behind the seat.
All in all, I really was impressed with the tractor. I'm sure the CK30 looks the same, but I'll take some pics when he gets those in soon. He has two on order. There are two pages so don't forget to click next at the bottom.
There is also a TC33 NH in this album. John

Man-oh-man is that sweet! Makes one wonder if they should have waited for the 25's and 30's. Thanks for taking the time to do this for your fellow TBN'ers. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif G

Great pictures! Did you pick up a brochure? Have you been unable to put it down? Thinking bigger is better? Ordered the new one yet?

Great pics! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

What are they asking for the CK25? What's the pto hp?

JayC · Jul 27, 2004

The CK25 with shuttle-shift has 20 PTO HP. The CK25 with HST has 19.5 PTO HP.

Hey, thanks! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Boy, only .5 loss of hp for the HST as compared to the shuttle-shift. That's not bad. Sure makes the HST a little more attractive.

Do you know what the pto hp's are for the CK30?

Those are some really good shots of the CK25. Thanks for sharing! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The CK30 with shuttle-shift has 24 PTO HP. The CK30 with HST has 23.5 PTO HP. 1/2 a HP loss again. That's not bad. It seems most of the time the loss is more 1 HP+.

As for price, negociated deals from about $12K up. As for PTO HP, I wonder if we'll ever know unless we measure ALL tractor's ourselves? I don't put a lot of stock into what any MFG posts on their websites as I've seen so many variations. Dynamometer is the only person who tells the truth.
They have my CK20 losing 1 HP between the trannys, and 0.5 HP between the CK25s. Who knows for sure? I do know that it's a nice tractor though, and I want to try out a shuttle shift too, but I doubt the dealer is going to bring one in just yet. Most of his requests are for HST. Can't blame him there. DaveinVA, I am thinking of adding a tractor to my stable, but when I do, it will probably be at least a CK30, LK3054XS, but I'm leaning toward DK45 mostly. I'll be keeping the CK20 for the tighter jobs. John

Something weird is happening with the webshots program and I see that the album is not being shown properly. Let's try a new link:
CK25 Pictures

This appears to be working properly now. Remember, there are two pages, 16 pics altogether. John

Edit: Well, at 8:33 EDT it seems not to be working when clicking to enlarge the pics. If it doesn't change soon, I'll use another site. John

Edit: Okay, seems to be working right again. If you encounter an error message that the page is gone or something, just keep trying and it should eventually enlarge. John
