CK 20 Are they being delivered to customers yet?

Spanky100 · Mar 29, 2003

Last I heard the CK20 were in transit from manufacturing plant. Are they in customers hands being used yet?

Do many dealers have them in stock?

My dealer (central Alabama) says they are one to two weeks away from delivery. It's mine for $10,500 if I want it after I've looked at it. My CFO is starting to get cold feet about the investment, however. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Are any extras included for that price quote?

Mine supposedly left Korea the week of 3/17-3/21. I've no clue how long till it gets to the East Coast.

Nope, that's tractor only (HST).

UPDATE: from my dealer yesterday 4/1/03,

The tractors will be in port on the 14th and if all goes right at customs, to the dealer by the next week.

Thanks for the updates.

Looks like we should be seeing a few CK 20's soon.

Any guess who will be our first "TractorByNet" group member to own one? We expect to see the pictures of the new toys (I mean work tool) posted soon.

By the way I am thinking that Mathey is the front runner to be the first TractorByNet person to have a CK20 at home with B old B's CFO starting to get cold feet. B old B I think Dinner and flowers are a good thought for the CFO. Better yet just get the tractor and you will be using the new tractor so much that sleeping with the tractor or on the couch will not seem as bad.

Hey Spanky, don't give up on me yet! I just got through letting her spend $30k remodeling the house, so I think $14k isn't too much to spend on a tractor. Right? I had a guy come over and cut the grass (or weeds) yesterday...took him 5+ hours, and I made her write the $175 check out to him. Maybe the thought of doing that once a month will encourage her to invest in the tractor. Question: if it took this guy 5 hours on his 46 hp Ford, how long will it take me on a 20 hp tractor? Maybe the CK 20 isn't enough?

Hey BOB, was that 2WD or 4WD Ford? Figure a 40% gain with 4WD. What size mower did he use? Was the work paid by hour or job? If you get things caught up, will the cutting go easier?

Still, you are asking the right question, A smaller tractor might take you too long to do what you want. Part of the reason I am upgrading...
