I've never seen a tractor on a ferry or vice versa. Sorry, couldn't resist /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Enjoy your new rig!

The Prudence Island ferry is about the same size but I hope I can position my new tractor a bit more securely!!! The captain frowns upon ferrys dangling off the loading ramp.

Me thinks I meant "tractors" hanging off the loading ramp!!

Islandtractor: Perhaps you have taken delivery of your CK20HST TLB tractor by now. You are getting a good price in my opinion. I live on the far side of Connecticut (hills of Litchfield county) and when I bought mine new I had to wait about three months to get it and I paid thousands more than you are paying. Sounds you are buying as close to a new units as possible at a great price without the wait. I use my CK20HST TLB for light work in my yard and I garage it and try to take very good care of it- it is kinda my hobby. One thought, or opinion for you that you might want to consider. Within a week after delivery I coated the underside of the tractor and the wheel rims, backhoe, 3 point hitch parts with a corrosion protector called Fluid Film that I got from DRpowerwagon.com. Cost about $10 for a 12oz can and I did not use all of it. This product will not go on easy in the cold weather unless you have a well heated garage and at first it has a slight odor. Basically I have about zero rust on my tractor even though I use it for snow removal, moving gravel etc. If you are near the salt water or "salt air" you might want to use this or something like to keep your tractor in good shape. Just a thought and you may have already done something like this. Have fun with with that tractor! Charlie

<font color="orange"> I will be taking delivery next Friday at the ferry dock and I'll try to get photos. I don't believe there have been any photos of tractors on a ferry yet so it may be a first for TBN! </font>

Hmm... Where are those pics? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

OK, here they are, first ??? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif ever photos on TBN of tractor on a ferry. At the very least, they are the first photos of a CK20 TLB on the Prudence Island ferry with a 48"Bush Hog strapped into the FEL!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I was a little worried about how I'd get the Bush Hog on to the island on the same ferry trip but the dealer was right that I could simply strap it into the FEL using the chain hooks on the bucket. No problem at all lifting this even though it extends at least 3 feet forward of the bucket lip and weighs 440 pounds. I drove the tractor like this for three miles from the ferry landing to my home. (see next photos)
