Tractor Sizing Question about size and power of the CK20

   / Question about size and power of the CK20 #2  
I don't know about the mowing I have never mowed with mine, but you will have no problem with the other tasks. My CK20 has done everything I have asked for and more. It's a great tractor.
I have dug up and moved large rocks, dug up and moved large stumps, moved about 4 cords of wood with the FEL, removed snow from my driveway every storm we got with the snowblower, built a 12 x 30 deck, and graded and maintained a steep gravel drive.
It's plenty of tractor for me.
 
   / Question about size and power of the CK20 #3  
Mine has done everything I ever needed it to do. The Fel is more than enough, so much that ballast a box would be nice to help with the rear end. I have a MMM on mine and use it to mow about 2 acres. In the raised position it works great as a rough cut over some overgrown fields/pasture. I surprised myself last week as it was used to pull and unload a manure spreader at least twice the length and a couple of feet of the CK20. Only filled the loader 3/4 full, but wow, the tractor never moaned or groaned once pulling it or some rolling hills and unloading it by pto.

Since you were asking about the CK25 and BX in the other post, I didn't comment on the CK20, but I have no doubt it would do what you have to do. The pictures that I've posted don't begin to show all that I've been able to accomplish with mine.

I should have started a TBN gallery, but instead, I posted pics on another site, and some I posted directly to my posts, which don't allow others to check out unless they can find the threads.

I've done a lot of timber projects around my properties and pulled pine trunks as long as 20 feet and two feet in diameter with my CK20, tires not loaded.
I till a garden a couple of times a year with a 52" Woods tiller, I box blade EVERYthing, leveling etc. I use a landscape rake as well. My backhoe has probably paid for itself in work I didn't contract out.
Now for mowing, if you want a backhoe, the CK20 won't accept a backhoe and mid mount mower as the brackets for the backhoe remain on the tractor and just the subframe and backhoe come off so the MMM mount won't go on at the same tme, unless you use the Woods backhoe. At least that's what Rick Wallace says. I use the Kioti backhoe.
The mowing I do is with a brush hog, and yes, I sometimes mow my lawn with it, but mostly it's used for pastures on others' properties.
My home property is 2 acres and I maintain another 4 and 5 acres properties as well.
The CK20 should be all that you need if you get the backhoe and a rear finish mower. If you don't get the backhoe or get a Woods, then you can use a mid mount mower and a lot of posters have said they like theirs, I just prefer rear mount mowers.

I usually try not to comment on these types of threads, because it is hard to completely know your expectation.
I bought my CK20HST with the loader and the MMM. I also have a 35 hp John Deere. My acreage is 10 acres and 3+ of which I finish mow with the Kioti. I use it in a sideline lawn seeding and sodding business. I have the industrial tires.

It is the main mower for my acreage. I have been more than impressed with the rear discharge mower. I also have the 60" commercial mower for my JD, and I never hook it on anymore. The Kioti does a better job of cutting and was about 1/2 price.

As for the other tasks that you mention (moving rocks, blading drives, etc.) I would think that you would be happy with the performance of this tractor. The only thing to remember is that this is not a 50+ hp ag tractor. It is a 20 hp tractor. I have been amazed at what I can do with it.

Officially, it's a 21HP tractor, LOL. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Got me on that one KJ. That extra hp must make all of the difference!
