wanted a DK35tlb but its out of my price range

[h2opdler]

I was hoping to get a DK35 tractor, loader, backhoe,rotary cutter, but my house is costing more than I expected. I need prices on a CK 25,30 with the same TLB set up.
Dealers, I should be ready to buy in 2-3 weeks send PM's with quotes.

Have you checked eBay? :-{

I know a lot of people swear by e-bay,but I dont trust buying anything over a couple of hundred dollars from them. The amount of spam thats generated from e-bay/paypal is another reason for me not to buy threw them. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

You could try http://www.equipmenttraderonline.com/ or

or have you considered a LK3054XS TLB

I have a brother who does rentals and they use one. It is a hoss.

If I were short of money I would put off the back hoe, if I give a reason I'll get jumped all over.

I was recently quoted the CK25HST TLB at $21,200 with Ag tires, $400 more for R4's. The LK3054XS TLB was $100 cheaper, and is more solidly designed as a true TLB setup (like bbse said "it a hoss"), with the backhoe actually frame mounted and the loader mounts more integrated into the frame as well.

Hope that helps.

The LK3054 XS TLB also has the canopy with the work lights and you sit under it when you are using it with the loader or the backhoe. I sometimes think I should have bought the LK instead of the CK25. I'm still very pleased with my CK25 with the loader and 7.5 BH.

The CK backhoes are frame mounted too. LC Brewing kinda implied they were not. I just wanted to make that clear. But, they are tractors first, with backhoeing being just one of the many things they can do, as opposed to being a backhoe/loader first and foremost like the LK3054. I'm not sure you'd see a lot of difference in performance in most cases, though.

Yeah - sorry if my post looked that way. The frame mount for the CK hoes is a sub-frame that (from what I can tell) bolts up underneath the main tractor frame. The LK3054 TLB backhoe mount is sort of an extension off of the rear of the main tractor's frame - similar to the Kubota B21 and/or the BX24. That puts the backhoe itself, and the seat and operators location closer to the actual tractor body. So, like gravel13 pointed out, that actually puts you under the ROPS/canopy when operating the backhoe.

A downfall of this setup is that the 3PH on the LK3054 must have the arms removed to have the backhoe mounted. Not a big deal, but it is one more step you have to do when changing from the BH to a 3PH attachment.

Others can comment better, but I believe that with the CK sub-frame mounted BH, the 3PH arms can be left in place.
