I picked up my CK30 HST yesterday from Littles Tractor in Metropolis, IL. I got there and was filling out paperwork while they put the tractor new Rhino 60"bush hog and a set of pallet forks.
Everything was very smooth and the tractor was ok except for a few small scratches on the bucket and forks then a few rusty bolts that don't seem to have been plated one that holds the trim piece for the loader stick. 3 hours on the ticker and s full tank of fuel. Not bad and I have seen much worse as I have been looking around the past few months. I got a brief how this and that works and since I didn't have any questions we were on our way. After a photo op.
I got home and got started playing around and getting more familiar with the operation of the tractor. It mows great I mowed one of my larger fields and it was so nice to drive and do a little backing up along the ditch with the HST. No real lack of power yet. Easy to steer lift works great and is really pretty quiet.
We used it to clean the barn out this morning and one of the knobs that screws out to fold down the ROPS was nearly seized up it was darn to turn all the way even with a 12" wrench on it. I will remove it and chase the threads this evening. So far so good with the little tractor.
