This dude beats and beats his equipment, not sure if I have ever seen any one beat a tractor so severely on line, all I can say is I want a RK tractor.

Good lookin pie. A 72 yr. old Montanan still calls GLOVES glubs. Castlevania game I have has a character in it called Simon Belmont.

Just watched the video! You guys were one of the reasons why we bought our Rk24. The abuse this compactor can take is amazing. We are developing a mountain homestead sort of place, and this tractor is amazing for what can do. Ricky just reminded you, he needed a vacation from moving the 1 ton boulders. Love your channel. My wife and I want to see a vlog on how the 4 of you make a living there on your mountain retreat. Love to follow suit!

I really enjoy your channel, it's nice to watch down to earth folks that enjoy being around each other ,kids & pets. This is the way life should be. Thanks from South Louisiana

Don't feel too bad, I broke my boom cylinder finishing a ditch, did I mention I was digging 6' down. Either way um very well satisfied with my RK24 .

Another great video . The way that I have done different times of getting a big rock or a big piece of concrete out of a deep hole . Roll, or rock the rock or concrete over to one side of the hole and then put some dirt in the other side of the hole and then move the big rock over on top of the dirt that you just put in the hole and now put some dirt over in the other side of the hole and then move the rock back over on top of the dirt that you just put in the hole, now put more dirt over in the other side of the hole and move the big rock back over on the dirt that you just put in the hole and each time that you do that it raises the big rock up out of the hole a little more and just keep on doing that till it is up out of the hole and up on top of the ground. You all might be able to bring that apple tree back to life , after that freezing weather is over with early March or so, in the spring cut all the top limbs down (half way height of top limbs) toward the main trunk of the tree where all the top limbs branch out in different directions, till they are all at about the same height in the top of the tree, if you leave one of the tree top limbs taller very much, than the others all the new growth will go to that one fork of the tree top and then cut at least half of all the limbs out of the tree on down towards the ground, making sure that you get rid of all the dead limbs and trim any of the limbs that are growing inward towards the center of the tree and when you get done you should be able to take your cap off of your head and throw it up in the air from under the tree and it make it up and out of the top of the tree and then you have trimmed enough limbs out of the center of the tree . This is how that you trim fruit trees. I have done this to several trees before and it rejuvenates them with new growth, if the trunk of the tree is still fairly solid . But your tree might have been neglected for to long and not be savable . I will be looking for you all in the next video, so you all be careful and stay safe . As always, Jeffrey !!!

Thanks for the float tip. I am enjoying your vids.

If you cut the bottom and a 1/4 of one side off a large soda bottle and attach it to a long pole you can pluck the apple with out it falling in the thorns

Love the blooper reel!! Y'all are awesome. :)

Wow - that was some serious work you were putting the little RK24 through!

Poor Ricky has an Ouchie. I am still impressed with his peppiness. Thats one tough tractor. Way more than my J.D. 3025. Looking good on your landscaping.

That apple tree will produce more and better apples next year if you prune it well in the winter.

Hey Meg pro tip get a container of water with a small amount of lemon juice and dip the pealed 🍎 and that helps keep the fruit from browning as quickly. Now Meg has a pro tip 🤣🤣

'Patent pending' apple picker! 😎

I'm pretty sure a good hydraulic shop can replace the broken part on the cylinder, probably quicker than RK can get you a new cylinder.

John Rk should give you some money to show everybody how they can use their tractors and how tuff the tractor 🚜 is I want a Rk now your great

Maybe the apples are the old time Jonathans. What a picker tool! Love the big rocks. They are impressive. That was some ending! Stop scaring me like that!

Oops! Love and learn

Simon from Castlevania. One of the best NES games ever.

Now this fall you trim that apple tree and clean off some of those dead branches and thin it out and you will tripple your apple crop next year!

Weird to use the backhoe to pull. If you want to pull, use the 3PT. It’s made for that.

Hey guys i know im behind on this one but you can use some maker pipe to run a parallel piece of conduit, maybe 3ft, at the joint and it would reinforce the "picker pole". Just a thought.

I can agree that RK24 is a tank that does way more than it looks like it will. I have abused mine more than you have so far. I started a homestead with mine but due to physical limitations I had to pay someone to build the house and do the large scale dirt work. I haven't broken a hydrolic cylinder like to you have. Im shocked about that as I have done the same thing. We I show people the things ive done with mine they think I m crazy and shocked it did it. Just a few things ive done. 500 foot trench 4 feet deep for electrical lines through sandstone, granite and sandy clay. It need new backhoe teeth after that. Cleared 2 acrea of mature trees to include digging stump out that are 3-4 feet in diameter. Mostly oak and popular. Moved and stacked logs with the same diameter that wood weight calculators say the weighed 2000 lbs. The bug ones lifting with a grapple about a foot off the ground is about all it could do safely. Things got very front end heavy and would lift the backed off the ground even with a backhoe on it. Actually tipped mine over once and with a little TLC it was back up and running like normal. Wish you guys the best and keep the videos coming.

I've seen several of your posts, I worried you were pushing the tractors limits. I thought you would break a front cylinder but it's all good. If you have a hydraulic shop nearby they'll fix that and quick. Think about a heavy duty inexpensive Harbor Freight electric hammer drill. Then drill holes to excess and get more of the rock expanding mud. It never hurts to split those large rocks. I have a TYM 264H, same manufacturer as your RK mines just got larger tires. My best to you!

Pull with your drawbar 👍🏻

2 paint sticks & duct tape on both sides ot the connector .co dust apple picker.

👍

Have you ever considered using a piece of conveyor belting attached to some chains onto Riki for moving those big rocks down or up the hills

you need a tractor with split brakes for steering when lifting the front axel.

Sometimes I think the hydraulics are a little too powerful on the small tractors. I sure like that it has a strength though. It sounds like your RK is very good. I have a hard time getting service and pretty much do most things myself.

I wonder if your apples are a type of russet. The pie looked delicious!

Essa """Floresta Miniatura ao redor do pé de maçã" já pode ser cortada vcs não acham?!

Now it’ll only be 4 months before RK can get the new hydraulic cylinder in.

Aw man!!! I thought we had this discussion after a previous video?😢 You gotta quit yanking from the backhoe. So anyway I’m sure you figured out that you can make much more hydraulic pressure than the pump on the tractor can and the tractor has no way to dump the pressure, so things go bad. It’s simple fluid dynamics! (Stolen from the movie RV) This is why you should watch the bucket angle when back dragging with the front loader. Awesome to hear that RK is going to help out! Love the videos and look forward to them and love the life you guys are creating!

I can tell you that the new RK tattoo is made with “Perler Beads” but could not tell you the figures; they look like action figures of some sort! Lmao T-Rex 🦖 💩

looks like Rygar

Nothing like using a toy to do Tractor work. I still can't stop laughing.
