Congratulations. I still have to say the CK25 would be a better choice, or some other comparable tractor. I have to agree with Bob that some more PTO HP will satisfy you better.
I know others won't believe I'm saying this, but those lawn preps can sometimes really lug an engine down, and 15.5 on the HST model sure isn't a lot. I think it will do it, but I wouldn't buy it unless I KNEW what it would do. In other words, try the RDI on the CK20 before your final decision. The dealer "should" be amenable to your trying it out either at his place or yours. John
