Ok, I have run across a super price on a ck20 TLB while looking at the Lk3054's. The price is so good, it is making me question my decision that I made today!!! Anyway, the deal is not done and I need help.
I looked at the Ck20 and most thought it would be better to go to a larger machine for my application. One big concern I have is loading her on my trailer with the hoe. It looks like there is very little ground clearance before she starts scrapeing. My trailer deck is about 19" off the ground. I have a 15" dove tail and 3 foot ramps. Any thoughts on folks who load these units up whether I will have problems?
If I got a 52" Bush hog for it, how close in performance do you think it would be to a 3054 with a 60" deck? Most of my work would be grassy weeds, but may like to do some 1" saplings if the job dictates it. I don't want a snail pace either and it seems people are pretty happy with the ck20 bush hogging. Any thoughts here?
I like the size, it may get me in some back yards that the big 3054 would not. I think I will have some trouble loading my truck with either machine. I doubt the extra 6" reach on the 3054 will make that much difference plus the ck is a hydro.
Will there be a big difference between the two machines when forageing into the woods for lumber and such?
The loader lift on the ck20 says it lifts more to max height then does the 3054. Is this possible? The 3054 lists more breakout strength, but less lift strength?
Ok, is there that much difference between the two? That is my dilemma I guess. The smaller unit might get me into some tight areas that the big one won't, but what will the ck flat out not do that the big boy will? It seems that the loaders are close. The 3pt is much stronger on the 3054, but the implements are lighter for the ck.
The luxury on the ck is swell too.
Help me please!
