CK20 QUESTION

EldoNixon · Jun 30, 2003

Saw the CK20 this weekend, it looks real impressive. I particularly liked the fit and finish and "feel" of the controls. Unfortunately the dealer didn't seem to know much about it.
I need a loader, backhoe, mmm combo. I'm trying to find the smallest yet most capable machine I can find. I like the BX, but would like a little more. The CK might fit the bill.
Is the MMM compatible with the backhoe? I seem to remember reading that it was not, but I can't find the link. Is the MMM a suspended deck? How is the cut quality? Does it have a front pto standard, or is it even available? Some of the earlier posts mentioned it and I forgot to look. Thanks.

Isn't the PTO HP on the CK20 only 15hp? That is less than the BX22 and MF2310.

Yes, but loader capacity, 3ph capacity, weight, tires, etc are all greater, I believe. I read somewhere on on this site that horsepower is no good unless you can put it to the ground. Some other smart person (not me /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif) also advised me not to look at horsepower alone, but look at the tasks you hope to accomplish.

I see that it weighs a lot more. Where did you find the other stats? The web site doesn't have much info and says that it is coming soon.

Is this available with a frame mounted backhoe? Or is that of the 3PH variety?
