RK Tractor reviews???

[g8erh8er]

Honestly, it looks easier to change than on my Massey that has two drain plugs. I am curious to know though if that plate that was in his way comes on every tractor, or only when you have the backhoe attachment.

I have no dog in the fight but I enjoy Mike's videos and I have to say popping the hood to change the oil on the RK looks harder than my whole Kubota service:thumbdown:

I see those side panel pins snapping off that plastic panel after a few times of being popped off/on..

Sea2,
Not sure about yours, but my MX requires removing TWO drain plugs to change the oil. And the reason I do NOT need to remove
Any side panels, is because the CHEAP folks at kubota did NOT provide side panels. Both sides of the engine exposed to the atmosphere. The RK 55 is a PREMIUM tractor, my MX screams
Economy Model.

MX is absolutely an economy tractor, not going to argue you don't pay much and it's only good at a few specific things unless you throw more money at it. The RK may come factory more able to perform a wider array of tasks. But how is a one piece hood a downside? How about a pull pin on the grill guard which will never loosen due to vibration? Sure I have two drain plugs, but I don't have to take my backhoe subframe off to avoid sloshing oil everywhere either. Just my $0.02.

Can you tell me when they will offer tractors at Rural King store in Hartland, Michigan, I own TYM tractor (sold under Cabela Brand) and love it so glad to see them now being sold by RK, but not yet offered in Michigan and I知 not excited about driving to Ohio to pick-up or get service if needed.

Benaaron.....
You might get a faster reply if you PM the RK Tractor Guy. I believe he said RK won't sell a tractor unless the customer lives within reasonable distance to a store with servicing ability.

Benaaronschmidt - Will any of your local TYM dealers service your Cabela-badged tractor now? Or at least sell you parts? If so, that should allay the concern of some that RK tractors may end up orphaned, should the TYM-RK venture end for any reason.

I know for awhile the issue of who would pay for warranty service at the TYM dealerships if they serviced Cabela tractors complicated things for the tractor owners. Don't know if any of that has been sorted out.

 

[Benaaronschmidt]

Only have had to use my Tractor warranty service at Cabelas one time and it was after they stopped carrying the tractors. To Cabelas credit they not only honored the warranty without issue, but delivered the tractor back to my cabin over 100 miles away, as they recognized it took over a month for the service to take place as they used outside tractor service company (which they managed, all I had to do was return tractor to their store). Will be glad to see Rural King carry simular line of what are TYM tractors in Michigan so filters, things that get replaced through normal use (have broke both my side mirrors having heavily wooded property I’m often working in tight spots) are easy to pick-up.

Very nice!

As for side mirrors, filters and other parts, will your local TYM dealers not sell to you as a Cabellas owner?

In every case I have heard of, TYM dealers will sell you parts if you are willing to pay yourself, but there have been some issues getting to the right person at Cabelas to get them to take care of warranty work.
