I'm running with the pack

[PSEbowhunter]

Well I've been lurking for a while now and did quite a bit of research on all my options. All my research led me to join the pack!! I'm loving the CK2510 w/FEL. Bob and Denise at MIE were great to work with and I look forward to continued business with them.

Don't mind the messy garage, the barn is getting built in the spring to give it a real home.


I added 2 27watt LED's facing forward and 1 to the rear. Independent switches for front and back. I used the pin holes for the ROPS to bolt lights on because with the SMV triangle on the back it can't fold all the way down to be pinned anyhow. And I haven't found a reason to fold it yet.

And no wasted time putting it to work.

Welcome to The Pack and TBN. That is one slick machine.

Nice looking machine, congrats.

I like the rigid hydro lines on the loader. Something my kl130 is lacking.

Congrats!! I had a CK20 for years, you'll be amazed what it will do. They are one tough machine.

Hello from Minnesota.

 

[Gary in NJ]

Good looking machine. I hope you enjoy it for the next few decades.

 

[PSEbowhunter]

Thank you all. I have been very impressed with this machine so far and i don't see that changing anytime soon. It's a little power house that's for sure, and very responsive hydraulics. All my work has been done with a 700cc 4x4 four wheeler prior to this and what a huge difference it has been. The only problem I've run into so far is my job getting in the way of seat time!!

Welcome! Great machine. I'm also going to mount LEDS to the rops. Where did you tap into for switched power?

 

[xtruckerbob]

Nice looking machine, I know you will enjoy it.

 

[TJP89]

Nice going! You and me have the same light setup, although I only have one switch.

Looks like we're in the same area too.

Welcome! Great machine. I'm also going to mount LEDS to the rops. Where did you tap into for switched power?

I ran a fuse right off the battery and sent 14awg back to the dash and split it for the switches. The hardest part was getting myself to drill two holes for the switches in the dash of the machine that was less than a week old:shocked:

Congrats!

Congrats on the new machine. I've owned one for 10 years and don't regret a day. Enjoy.

Welcome. I know you will enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

Welcome! Great machine. I'm also going to mount LEDS to the rops. Where did you tap into for switched power?

Power is available at the back of the tractor near the ROP's on the right side. It's an accessory plus just hanging there. LED's draw very little power, use this as your power source, go to a switch and then the LED's. I drilled the ROP's on my CK20 and ran the wires inside. Cleaner and protects the wires from branches.
