Ck20 continues to rock!

[Everhard]

I've been using my Ck20s (gear shift model) for close to 2.5 years now, and one thing I'd resisted getting was a snowblower for it thinking that given the lack of live pto and the minimal reverse gear speeds it wouldn't work that good - so I'd been using a blade on the back along with the loader which worked fine.
But a week ago I found an old used McKee 320 60" snowblower, gave it some tlc and tonight hooked it up to Wiley. I'd come home this evening to a massive dumping of snow. (ok not Buffalo massive! between 18-24" of the white stuff.) It worked great! Totally erased my fears. That tractor continues to impress me, for it's size and rated hp it's a beast. It never once struggled to run the blower. And the best part is I can stop thinking about having to consider a getting hydrostatic version!
Great job Kioti, This one's a keeper!

I have always admired this model.

I think it is just the right size for most day to day chores around a home or small business.

You are still confirming the wisdom of your tractor purchase decision.

A lot of tractor for the money!

I had a CK20Hst for years, it's an amazing little tractor. I routinely get hard packed 3 and 4ft snow drifts plus lots of heavy wet snow. The 20 could get thru it, but it would take a while. It's like the Pit Bull of small tractors.

Glad your blower works so good for you . I wasn't that lucky with my Kubota M5400 as it went to fast in slowest back up speed for those larger storms . I got the M5700 with creeper gears and that works great if you don't mind being out in the elements . At 72 I have had enough of those cold outings , I use to love it however, but things change with age . I had to get the 5700 out the other day as I sure miss having a fel when using the 2650 . We had a bunch of wet slush this past storm , what a mess . It's been raining for the past 2 days , snow mostly gone , ground no longer frozen .

I have the ck20s hst, like you I absolutely love it. It might be the best purchase I have ever made.just the right size ,moves dirt and blows snow like a demon yet still small enough to fit in the garage..

Still love my CK25. Almost 9 years now. Don't use it as much as I used to because it is so darn efficient at completing projects. I do have a big Koi pond build planned for spring that's going to give the backhoe a refreshed work out. I had a 66" blower that I used a few times. It worked great, but my little JD X739 with front blade is way faster in my tight spaces and easier to use (drive forward), and actually has better traction. On long, wide lanes (which I don't have), the bigger implements on a CK would have a better advantage. I just fly around on the JD without too much concern for hitting things. So I sold the blower and the Kioti sits most of the winter. Us CKxx owners are becoming the "old guys", with the new models replacing all but the CK30/35.
