I'm going to assume you are being sarcastic.

If you think the website if off a bit, wait till you read the owners manual, good luck!

Their service manual is one of the best I've ever seen!

Mines not, it's vague. Uses old data and information, me and the dealer laughed about some of the stuff in it. the FEL and BH manual was just as bad. Great machine, crappy manuals, at least the ones I got. Maybe I'm use to Honda and other power equipment manuals.

Not the owners manual but the service manual. I agree the owners book not so goodly.

Same here. The OM is worse, but not as bad as some I've seen. Although I still an unclear on what they think the engine start sequence is. But for the most part it is clear what they mean.

The website is a joke, you would think they would be big enough to hire someone to keep it up to date.

I am a first time tractor buyer and looking to buy in the next few weeks. I'm looking at either a CK2510 or CK2610 both in HST, my question is, which is better suited for my needs? I have only 3.5 acres but about 250-300 yards of gravel driveway that needs plowed and maintained. Also cutting down grass and weeds and cleaning up downed trees and limbs.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I am also a first time owner and plenty ignorant and bought a 2510 and now have 35 hours on it. Have been mowing about 4+ acres, scraping the drive (1/3 mile), some trail hogging/raking, firewood hauling and general FEL work. Had the tires loaded and added a tooth bar. Most of my land is hilly and the woods and trails are tight. I'm 6'. fit fine, very happy at this point.

I don't have a service manual, where did you get one, I would like to have one.

I thought we was talking about OM, sorry.

The CK2610 wasn't even listed on the website till a month or two after I bought it. They are slow to make changes online for sure.

You can get one online as a PDF, mine cost about $20. There is a thread on here with a link for free service manuals, don't know if it has the 2610. Also not sure how legal it is, but if you search you should find it. You should be able to get a print copy from your dealer too. Really recommend them, even for just routine maintenance, much better than the OM.

2610 not listed in the CK 10 series brochure yet either.

I've heard the 2610 has a MMM coming for it. I'm in a pickle as I'm in the middle of buying a new Tractor.
