Do I Like RK TRACTORS? This is an honest overview of RK Tractors.
The RK Tractor lineup is pretty impressive and I go over some of the specs of the RK24, RK37 and RK55
* I misspeak about the RK24 tires being loaded as standard. The standard loaded tires start at the RK37.

Nice job on the video, I will give you an update after almost 2 years of use so far. Only have about 500 hours total between all three tractors. No issues at all on any of them. Regeneration on the 37 and 55 occurs about every 40 - 50 hours. No issues there either. No complaints at all and am blown away on the lift capacity on the 37 and 24. Not only lifting the weight but feels good carrying it. Bottom line is I think any tractor from any brand could have a problem here and there. I have had none so far, also I think no matter what the brand 90% (at least) of the problems are a result of operator error. They are tractors not dozers lol

My 55 came out of PA and You couldn’t ask for nicer People to deal with!!!! We want an RK dealer in New York come on guys.

Power is a function of weight. I watched an old traction engine that was 40hp go up against a 90hp modern tractor. The traction engine proceeded to effortlessly pull the sled the distance and the modern tractor didn't even make it halfway. So yes, torque but the tractor has to have enough weight to put it to the ground. You can also put a crawler against any similar horsepower tractor. The crawler will outweigh the tractor every time and always will outperform the same.

Gotta be honest, that 3 point control on the back seems like a potential danger to have your feet somewhere they shouldn't be when bringing down an implement. I can stand next to my Kubota L3901 and easily move the 3 point up and down out of the way of the implement and doesn't seem inconvenient. All that said, I didnt realize the RKs came standard with rear remotes, and I know the RK37 loader stats are better than my 3901. Starting to think I should have taken the time to drive over to the nearest RK to look at one. Maybe down the road if I look at getting a cab tractor! 😉 Great to the point video of the RK line-up!

Sales are limited to areas that have Rural King stores. that's a bummer; If you don't live nearby you're out of luck, not all stores carry inventory of tractors, the ones that don't have inventory of tractors 10% down is require to begin placing your order. Another con is service after the sale, no qualified service technicians, mechanics in case of warranty issue. another negative - long waiting period for replacement parts. The pro is you get more tractor for the price but with so many cons will it be really worth the savings?

Something I have noticed is that some brands make it hard to internet shop for tractors. Mahindra for example makes it simple, they price it with a loader or without. Others like JD make it almost impossible to find the price. They will advertise using something like $$$ starting at a one price but when you sit down the price somehow gets larger because with a loader you have to get the 12 speed and larger tires, or what ever. Also with one brand I was looking at they advertised a great price but if you paid cash you find out the advertised price was only good if you financed it with them. Then the finance charge is way high so in the end the price is not what you thought so you finance for 8 or so years to keep the payments low.

I'm wondering if that 8 year warranty would be honored if Rural King was sold tomorrow. It's an uncertain world for retail stores... Cabelas sold the same tractor before bass pro and owners have to fight to find service, and the warranty is void

Cool good overview on the RK tractors since i dont have any Rual Kings near me and not even any of the TYM dealers which i think are the same as the RKs. My other question would be these tractors seem to look and be decent built for the basic homstead General Purpose work but in my uses of running PTO driven equipment on my Farm will they Last me 4000 hours ?? lol . And I need to fill you in that all of my Large Farm Tractor do have a rear button for 3 point adjust to ease in hookups and we also have a feature to move the pto shaft to align for easy hookup of drive line...

I have a Mahindra 1526 shuttle shift and I do Love it. I want a cab tractor and more horses. I have my 1526 sold ! I want to get the RK37S but I am concerned about the DEF! I don't want to sit and wait on regin to run 30 to 45 minutes. I see the comments about any tractor over 26 hp all have DEF even Mahindra ? Thanks love your vidios

@HamiltonvilleFarm 3 жыл бұрын

I think you are confusing DPF with DEF. DEF is the fluid you put into the tractor as an additive to keep the system cleaned. DPF is the filter used to collect the "soot" ...Mahindra's don't have the DPF. THey use a MCRD design. Some tractors with the the regen system on it will need to regen thats true, other tractors like Branson will have a "passive" regen system, which means you'll never know its in regen state because it does it while you're working.

@pappyone9790 4 жыл бұрын

A 8 year powertrain warranty is not worth much to me because that is not a problem area. It is the electrical and other goofball type things that go out. Another issue that some manufactures hide in the fine print is that if the tractor is used commercially the warranty is only good for 90 days or so and if you are honest most owners make a little money on the side using their tractor. Also most dealers charge a big service fee to come to the farm so you have to get it to the dealer. So to me the longer powertrain warranty is not a big deal. RK may be a great tractor but there are no dealers even close to me. Mahindra is the same but with the closest dealer 35 miles away. My dealer is 4 miles away and is great. I do not believe there is any tractor brand that is the "best" so I do not shop for color. However I have several friends that have bought a different brand than me and keep having small nagging problems that the dealer can not fix. One of these friends bought a new tractor 20 years ago when I bought mine. Same size and were the same just a different color. We both sold and bought new tractors a year ago and mine sold for $4,000 more than his. In fact he had to trade it in because no one wanted it. It is very hard to decide on what tractor to buy.

to me the longer the warranty, the more faith they have in their equipment...I just want something that's not gonna beat me down over the next 10 or 20 years in parts and breakdowns. You see tons of older machines (2007 for example) that are still in service....granted they only have 3 to 5k hours, but still, like to not have to change equipment like I do cars. AND probably MOST important...can I get parts 5 or 10 years from now...how much are the parts gonna cost me, will I have to call Indiana Jones to track them down?

Branson is owned by TYM but keep there design different... To be honest I hate the regen on all of them so my pick was the Kubota 2510.... Kioti is another nice tractor....

I like all tractors and what you buy should be based on your needs and what you can afford at that time. Not what I say or what anyone else says.
