Hello All: It's mud season in New Hampshire and I am seriously thinking about getting the top of my driveway blacktopped. It currently is soil with a heavy clay content which gets really messy this time of year, plus all year long dirt from shoes is constantly brought into the house... a real...

Now that we've cleared up the clutch/don't clutch issue, I figured that it was time to add a new thread in order to help kill some winter blues.... Here are some shots from today from my driveway in New Hampshire. It was finally warm enough (near 30) to be outside longer than a dash to the...

Guys we need your input: this topic came up on another thread but was never settled..... i don't know if it pertains to all, some or just select kioti models..... Should the clutch be used to engage and also dis-engage the rear and mid ptos ? there was much conversation with different...

it's time to put the rear tire v-bar chains on and get ready for some _ _ _ _ (i don't like using four letter words) plowing. last year i did it without jacking up the tractor..... what a PITA..... i am looking for advice as to the best point(s) to place the floor jack so that i don't...

happy new year all i am putting on my new v-bar ladder tire chains on my ck 20.... the rear tires are 12x16.5. i drapped the first set over the tire and find that the overall length of the chains is quite a bit long. two of the cross sections are actually right next to each other...

I finished my improvised cab just in time to go out and snow blow after our first nor'easter.... thanks to the input and ideas from my previous post on this topic, i decided to use 1" pvc pipe and fittings $15, topped off with a half a sheet of osb plywood $7 and a $69 golf cart cover...

Has anyone out there built their own cab ? i've been thinking that it might be possible to clamp on some metal pieces to create a frame from the the BH assembly to the ROPS to create a cab frame and then drop a golf cart cover over the entire structure.... just to get some protection from the...

thank you all for the replies to my last post on this subject.... but i am still confused... after talking to provonst direct and several dealers i am more confused about the pto driveline set up i need for a puma blower... here's what i know.... tractor side standard 1 3/8" 6 spline...

i purchased a used provonost 54" rear blower, but it did not come with a pto shaft. since this is my first time using such an attachment, i have two questions.... 1) there is no spline on the blower where the pto shaft connects., just a straight pin. .. should there be a spline? if so, any...

i have to change the oil on my ck20hst. has anyone used a synthetic or do you just stick with the normal blends ? also, any thoughts on a particular weight for colder climates? my machine sits outside in new hampshire and we have spells of below zero temps.... as ususal thanks any input....

Hello All i've just picked up a used provonost puma 54" rear snow blower for my CK20 HST, but it didn't come with the PTO Shaft. Question: is there a standard length or category PTO shaft that should be used with a snow blower ? are they rated by the PTO horsepower ? thanks in advance...

Just got done doing the driveway after our 16" St Patty's Day snow storm. had a lot of trouble climbing back up the hill due to the wet and packing consistancy of the snow. first time in 3 years using the machine that i've had any traction issues to speak of (R-4's). even locking both rear...

I have decided after last nights storm (26" ) that i need to add a 3pt blower to my ck20hst. Does anyone have any input regarding the various manufacturers products ? i'll be looking for a 50" - 54" unit. i've heard of Meteor and Buhler/Allied. A local shop carries a 51" unit made by DK...

Hello All..... it's been a while since my last post, but i still check in from time to time for all of your helpful hints and ideas.... it's getting to be cold weather season here in NH and i was wondering if anyone had any luck with an engine block heater that would work on the ck20...... i...
