CK2610 first tractor

[kjudd]

Hello everyone,

I just picked up a CK2610 with FEL and spring and detent rear remotes, just over a week ago. It has almost 22 hours on it. I'm loving every minute of it.

Congratulations! Nice looking tractor. I've been considering that one for my first tractor.

I love it. Hoping to get a grapple for it at some point. I would highly recommend one. Wish I had done it year's ago.

Congratulations, kjudd. This is such a nice machine.

Nice machine you got, looks like my CK27 !! I bought a 2013 CK27 2 years ago with 190 hrs. I now have 505 hrs. Great machine which does what i want. I know its limits which sometimes makes me wish i had gotten a bigger one. But we live in a national forest and space is tight with all the trees. So i am happy. Enjoy your ride !

Welcome to the pack! Have fun, and once you have grapple, you'll wonder why you didn't get THAT sooner too...
Enjoy

Thanks everyone. Just saving pennies for a grapple right now.

*Sighs*.... my dream tractor....

I want a CK2610 so bad that I am willing to pimp out my wife to get one. Heck, I'll even sell my dog for one! That is such a sexy beast of a tractor, I personally think that in its size/weight/price class, there is no better unit to buy. Everyone else can just give up and stop making 25/26HP 2700 lb tractors and just bow down to the king.... You, my man, have one bad to the bone compact! Life is good, and I am envious.

Thanks. With all of my research it's the best bang for the buck. And the local dealer (15 minutes from home and 2 minutes from my work) has been great to work with. And has a great reputation.

In retrospect, I wish I had bought the Everything Attachments grapple instead of the less expensive one I did get.

Looks Like I will be getting a green machines the Thumb at this point in time. It fits my budget and will do what I need it to do. Unless I find a grapple for the same money that will be my choice for now.

Go back and tell Jason you want the fuel cranked about 5 turns.........33 hp is nice.

The next time I see him I will tell him. More power equals more better.

Nice machine! I got a 54 in EA single lid grapple and have not looked back. Stays hooked up on my tractor most of the time and is a tremendous time and labor saver.

+1 for the ETA grapples. I just ordered their 50" single lid grapple for my 2610. Their grapples let you keep most of your lift of your loader.

I would love a true grapple. I'm keeping my eyes open for one. Just hard to beat the 1/3 of the cost for the thumb, but saying that I haven't ruled a true grapple out.

I finally just bit the bullet......

I'm going to check with my dealer to see what they have. They have a grapple on 3510 right now and they know I want one.

The ETA 50" wicked grapple is 274lbs total. Gives ya about 1000lbs of lift. Watch their video on their site.
