Mowing Rear mower on a ck20 HST

[Whiptail]

Has anyone used a rear mower on the CK20? I looked at the Kioti mowers and they require at least 15hp (I think) and engine is rated at 22 Hp. I am guessing this is before the HST robs some.

I use a 5 foot Kioti finish mower on My CK20HST works very well. Need to be careful when using on hills as I do it will move the back end of the tractor around. I don't have loaded tires but I'm sure that if I did it would be far less of a problem.

I also have a 5ft Kioti rear finish mower on my CK20S. I have had no issues, but I haven't tried to cut anything really thick either.

I used a 5ft Rhino rear finish mower on my CK20. No issues at all. I also used a 4ft bush hog which was about the right size too. If I had to do it over again though I'd probably get a 5ft light/medium duty flail mower instead of a RFM. Cuts as well and is more manuverable and easier to store. Costs about the same. (eg Caroni TL1500 from AgriSupply)
