I think they are all great tractors. My advice to you is go out and try them all out. Get to know the dealers and figure out which one you think will give you the best service after the sale. Which one do you feel the most comfortable with. Then look at the difference in prices.

Murph nailed it. All are good machines. It comes down to comfort with the dealer, and your mother's comfort on the machines.

The CK20 is not a sub compact tractor. It is a small chassis CUT. It is much more tractor than the other two you are looking at. Because it is so much more tractor it weighs quite a bit more. The other two actual SubCUTs would be more ideal for mowing the lawn. The CK20 has more ground clearance, and as I said weight, so it would be better suited for FEL work.

I bought the lovely Mrs_Bob a Cub Cadet because she said the colors of the Cub coordinated well with her summer outfits. What colors does your mom wear?
All 3 are great tractors. As previously stated, I would also note that the CK20 is not a Sub-CUT, is is a small frame CUT, it will easily out tractor the other two machines and offers more ground clearance, higher seat height, taller overall stature. Typically a new Sub-CUT is going to offer fairly limited ground clearance, be available in HST only. To my knowledge, the following tractors are Sub-CUTS: NH TZ series, Case/Farmall DX"e" series, Kubota BX series, Massey GC series and JD 2210.
Other small frame CUTS that would be of similar stature, ground clearance to the Kioti CK20 would include JD 4010, NH TC21, Case/Farmall DX21, Mahindra 2210(?), Kubota B7510 and several others. The only downside I see with these tractors is the fact that they are taller than the SUB-CUTs and their can put your mom's eyes at a level were low branches from small trees may exist. For mowing, you might want to stick with the lower profile tractors?

Remember Bob,
The TC21 has been changed to a TC23 and the TC24 to a TC26. The same goes for the Case DX brothers.
And according to their website the SUB cut models are now
TZ18DA, TZ22DA and TZ25DA

Be sure to take your mother along and see how those tractors fit her and which she thinks she might prefer.
Thanks for the input ,i will go with her to look at the BX22,TZ24DA,andCub Cadet 5234D,I'm trying to talk her out of the FEL i don't think she needs it because i can bring my tractor over if needed but she says she don't want to keep bugging me.
