Info on CK2510

kittyhawk · Nov 28, 2020

Good evening everyone, I'm eyeing a 2019 CK2510hst with loader and 60" mid mount mower. I have read all the Specs and was wondering about real world use. I was wondering if it will pull a 5' brush hog mower, I'm not going to be cutting anything to thick or heavy, also if will handle a 55" grapple? Im looking at EA 55" grapple and third function. Also how much weight is added when filling the rear tires, do they offer rear wheel weights for it.
Thanks, stay safe and healthy!

Look up u tube videos on mid mount mowers. You might change your mind. I opted out of buying one. Your situation might be different.

It should handle the 55" EA grapple without difficulty, with a properly installed 3rd function kit. You have plenty of hydraulic pump capacity. The 60" rotary cutter is borderline due to the PTO being under 20HP, so if you get one at this 60" size, just make sure it's a low HP and light duty cutter like the RC1060 from Kioti (made by Woods).

Kioti also offers a RC1048 cutter, also have 48" cutters from both Landpride and Frontier that are just absolutely perfect for your tractor. I recommend taking a serious look at these 48" cutters.

Regarding filling the CK2510 tires, I am estimating about 310lbs per tire, or 620 lbs total weight. You can also just get a typical box blade like many do, for rear ballast. These typically weigh about 550lbs and have dozens of uses around your property.
