CK2610 first tractor

[kjudd]

Hello everyone,

I just picked up a CK2610 with FEL and spring and detent rear remotes, just over a week ago. It has almost 22 hours on it. I'm loving every minute of it.

Congratulations! Nice looking tractor. I've been considering that one for my first tractor.

I love it. Hoping to get a grapple for it at some point. I would highly recommend one. Wish I had done it year's ago.

Congratulations, kjudd. This is such a nice machine.

Nice machine you got, looks like my CK27 !! I bought a 2013 CK27 2 years ago with 190 hrs. I now have 505 hrs. Great machine which does what i want. I know its limits which sometimes makes me wish i had gotten a bigger one. But we live in a national forest and space is tight with all the trees. So i am happy. Enjoy your ride !

Welcome to the pack! Have fun, and once you have grapple, you'll wonder why you didn't get THAT sooner too...
Enjoy

Thanks everyone. Just saving pennies for a grapple right now.

In retrospect, I wish I had bought the Everything Attachments grapple instead of the less expensive one I did get.

Looks Like I will be getting a green machines the Thumb at this point in time. It fits my budget and will do what I need it to do. Unless I find a grapple for the same money that will be my choice for now.

Thanks. With all of my research it's the best bang for the buck. And the local dealer (15 minutes from home and 2 minutes from my work) has been great to work with. And has a great reputation.

Go back and tell Jason you want the fuel cranked about 5 turns.........33 hp is nice.

Regards, Fred

The next time I see him I will tell him. More power equals more better.

Nice machine! I got a 54 in EA single lid grapple and have not looked back. Stays hooked up on my tractor most of the time and is a tremendous time and labor saver.

+1 for the ETA grapples. I just ordered their 50" single lid grapple for my 2610. Their grapples let you keep most of your lift of your loader.

I would love a true grapple. I'm keeping my eyes open for one. Just hard to beat the 1/3 of the cost for the thumb, but saying that I haven't ruled a true grapple out.

I finally just bit the bullet......

I'm going to check with my dealer to see what they have. They have a grapple on 3510 right now and they know I want one.

The ETA 50" wicked grapple is 274lbs total. Gives ya about 1000lbs of lift. Watch their video on their site.
