Thanks for comments/suggestions so far. I do have a very good homeowner's zero turn (one of those Cub Cadet with steering wheel, serviceable transmission and Kawasaki FR730V) but part of my "excuse" for upgrading from a CS to a CX cab isn't to replace the zero turn but to enhance my time and...

I have a nice zero turn but like to use my newly purchased CX2510 Cab as a lawn mowing machine in summer time for comfort, safety (poison ivy, thorny bushes), and to maximize its use especially during full warranty period. I have 2.5 acres relatively flat terrain (with some mowing around fence...

I ended up going with CX Cab because it suits my current landscaping needs better; might get a 6' finish or 5' flail mower (instead of belly mower) this spring to make it an air conditioned mowing machine assuming it can mow clean at higher speed (it takes 2 hours/mow with a prosumer grade zero...

I ended up going with CX cab (landscaping use) to go with NX cab (construction use). Maybe in a year or 2 when I am done building/NX, I can downsize my fleet selling the NX and upgrading the CX to a CK.

Trying to upgrade a CS to either CX2501 or CK2620SE cab, got a great trade-in value for CS to make it considerable. Wondering which of these 2 will hold value better after 1-2 years since I might trade it in for a larger (so I can sell off a NX too). Seems to me CX appeals to more...

+me as another indecisive CX2501 or CK2620SE Cab shopper. I am upgrading from a CS which I really like for clearing weedy trees and bushes while not beating up lawns around too badly, but want a cab so I can stay away from elements and poison ivy/thorny bushes. CX most logical and I already...

Nice looking CK. Cabin does look more airy/spacious than CX's.

Thanks for CK suggestion. How is your lawn/turf holding up with your CK cab? Any suggestions on tires, 2WD vs. 4WD?

Great discussion; I too am debating between CX/CK20SE cab to replace a CS/NX. Like the CK20SE cab for what it has and can do, but fearful about how it will beat up lawns on loaded R14's. And like the CX but it doesn't do much more than a CS. I think I will go for the CX because it can do what...

I have an NX cab (which I use to lift heavy things higher, and do construction things), and got a CS early 2023 to clear weedy trees, thorn bushes and poison ivy, because it's much lighter on lawns and still able to do what I intended, except I now wish for a cab so I can stay cool/warm, dry and...

Thanks for all the inputs definitely a lot of food for thoughts. And I am going with Ericm979's suggestion and converting everything to 1/2" couplers.

Thanks for all the inputs so far. I am mainly looking at the Virnig V30 because it looks well built and strong enough to handle my 2 tractors (22hp and 55hp. 1200 & 3000 lb loader capacity perspectively). My main use is to rake/grab/move underbrush, old discarded logs, junk and yard debris.

Thanks for replying yeah I was hoping to skip the hose building or fitting replacing process with a simple adapter/reducer but not sure if there is one. Maybe I need to build a pigtail hose 1-2 ft long but with right couplers at the end; which begs the question, can a short hose handle 1/2"...

Looks from pic you have a V30 URG54 grapple. How is your B2301 handling the 250 lb grapple and how are you ballasting the back end? I am looking at the same grapple or 60" (300 lb) and appreciate your firsthand experience. Thank you.

Newbie with simple question hope for a simple solution. I am buying a grapple to use on my compact (3/8" ag couplers) and utility tractor (1/2" ag couplers). Grapple can come with either 3/8" or 1/2" couplers but is there an adapter that can go from 3/8" to 1/2" (or vice versa)? Or do I need...
