Hello Mastertech, Big chuckle. Good old GeeDub, he's a good sport for posting that one. But don't expect that kind of honesty from me. But I do promise some pictures and you are right, it's a big day for me. I hope this dang snow stops. The poor dealer has 230 miles of this to deal with and has to tow the rig through it. You know what Im talking about and winter driving is just to be expected here. (as you well know, I heard you got 16" of snow a night or so ago)
stay tuned for the pics.

Returning from Thanksgiving break 1985. Visibility was about 20 feet. Home (GR) to school (Houghton) normallly took about 10 hours. Saw several cars flipped over. Apparently one car drove into Lake Superior. Of course they closed the bridge right after I got over it. White knuckled it for about 18 hours. Finally gave up in Marquette and plowed into a hotel parking lot... First job out of College was in St. Pete FL.
Beautiful country though!
Good luck on that delivery Looking forward to pics.

We got 18" on Wednesday, not much if you're a yooper but pretty much paralyzed us. 2,000 vehicles, mostly 18 wheelers, stranded on 19 miles of freeway for more than 8 hours.

This CK20 is really really orange. Today my dealer drove 230 miles on a snowy day to get my CK20, backhoe, FEL and snowblower delivered as promised. Very nice folks to deal with at Michigan Iron and Equipment, LLC of Morrice, Mi. They have earned a hearty "Job well done".
This has got to be a short one tonight as I post the first four pics because I have a tractor to read up on and play with and it's right next to me in my heated attached garage.
Here are my first few shots. I did not take time to play with the backhoe because by the looks of things will be needing the snowblower and FEL. Blizzard watch for tonight 7:00 PM throuogh tomorrow at 7:00 PM.
Enjoy the pics and I will be back tomorrow and hopefully read some feedback.
Thanks for checking in.

Rimshot, glad to hear you new toy, err tractor, arrived safely. Read your manual tonight, operate safely tomorrow.
I spent 3 hrs cleaning my driveway, my neighbors driveway and our private road today. I would post pics, but SWMBO only used the film camera not the digital one to get pics of my CK30 in action. Hopefully you will have some pics of your little beast in action tomorrow.

Very Nice! It looks way too clean, time to go play in the dirt.
One thing I immediatley notice about the backhoe that you may want to consider is the feet on the stabilizers. If you look at yours, they are flat and small, the backhoe on this thing is incredibly strong for it's size and will yank the tractor around. My dealer puts the "bigfoot" kit on all the backhoes free of charge but I think it's a cheap option and just 6 bolts a piece to add. Here is a picture of mine, you can see the large black feet on the stabilizers. The sides angle down into the ground for better grip.
