Yes all came on with the tractor. The tyres are industrial and apparently I am the first person in the country to ask for them. They arent so well known. They were the same price as the turf tyres (£1000 = ? $1570 !!) and were billed extra to the tractor. Do you get that in the US ?
Heres a closer pic .The deck is one piece pressed - sposed to be an advantage according to the salesman.

Then add the mirror and drawbar to the list of what's different!
As far as the tires go, ag tires are standard, turf/industrial are upgrades and therefore cost a bit more...but not THAT much more on this side of the pond...i think my industrial tires were like an additional $250.

Nick,
Thanks for the pictures! The seat is a totally different seat than the CK20 sold in the US. Could you post a close up picture of the seat for me. Thanks!

Hi Don,
The seat is from this company
http://www.kabseating.com/
I cant work out which model it is but it is one of their more basic seats.
I enclose a pic and the next post shows a close up of the adjustments. The left hand lever is back and forward. The middle is up and down and the right hand one I think is the stiffness of the seat or what my wife might call the gut adjustment module.
cheers
Nick

Nick,
Thanks for the pictures and the web site. I think I tracked the seat and suspension base down in one of KAB seating leaflets here...Economy Pans Range Leaflet. It appears to be the P-2 seat (without the extended back rest) with the XH2 suspension base. Here is the P-2 seat from the US distributor Industrial Seats
That seat came standard on your tractor? The suspension base appears to be an upgrade of the seat base used here in the states. Let us know what you think of the seat after you get some "seat time" in. I see you have the joy stick for the front end loader. Are you getting a front end loader?

The seat came as standard. The only thing I specified as extra were the industrial tyres which interestingly also say they are skid steer - is that usual for Industrial tyres ?.
I got them because they seemed a good compromise between AG/Turf and wouldnt chew my grass up so much.
I will probably get the FEL in time. I need a flail mower before that though and poss even the back hoe.

Well you're going to have to get that FEL to offset the weight of having a backhoe mounted or a bunch of weights mounted up front. So just get the FEL you'll use it more than you thought you would.

Nick,
Industrial tires (tyres) are very common here in the US. They are used a lot on industrial/construction equipment for their toughness and resistance to punctures. Their use has gravitated over to compact utility tractors.
By the way, welcome to TBN!

and i would imagine you'd have a tough time getting the BH and possibly even the FEL on there with the MMM installed.

You'll be very happy with the industrial tires as a good all around performer.

Nick,
The reason your industrial tires were so expensive was that you probably paid for the industrial rims to. Industrial tires usually do not fit on ag rims. Did your dealer originally get your tractor equipped with ag tires? If he did, then he probably ordered the industrial tire/rim after the fact and could not exchange them. It would be interesting to get to the bottom of this one. Something does not seem right. Enjoy your new tractor!

The guy who demoed it brought it with a FEL , MMM and a rotary cultivator on the back. He used the MMM to cut Nettles/weeds (do you have nettles in the US ?) which were so high you couldnt see the body of the tractor and still made a pretty good job with all that tackle on.Not the ideal way to cut stuff that high I know but pretty impressive.
