I wrap a log chain around the frame of a 3 pt hay spear and have pulled a 32" x 23' green red oak log up a grade with an RK55. I needed to fill the bucket to keep the front end down. Most of what I pull is smaller and longer and down hill. I've never had a log push me. It surprises me how much...

All I can tell you for sure is that the DPF/regen system on my RK55 has been the Bain on my existence. 400 hours and it's lost power for the 4th time. RK's service sucks and the problem is, it won't go into regenerate mode due to corrosion on some part of the mother board contacts and they don't...

Just a little update. Both the local Mahindra and TYM dealers would not help until given a model number. Once "RK" came out of the mouth, "sorry can't help you. You need to call Rural King"... so abruptly that it was surprising. Finally got a Mahindra dealer to at least talk by going in but...

Thank you for that link.

Must be a geography thing. I'd have about 3 of my 75 acres that I could work on if I thought 10-15 degrees was steep. Around me, Driver nerves via Seat of the pants feel is usually much less tolerant of slope than the tractor. A slope or grade indicator is a nice thing to have on the dash...

Thank you. You're giving me some HOPE.

Just a quiet stretch of 77 to most of the world. I hope it stays that way, neighbor.

This makes me think of the time I came within 2 inches of being impaled by a broken 2" limb with a sharp point end, right at my chest. If not for driving a HST that stopped immediately, I don't think I'd be here, even if I got knocked off the back, I was pulling a bush hog. Being that few of...

I'm 3.4 miles to the store. My local JD dealer is about the same in the other direction. Wish I had turned left instead of right.

Where is your place, my time is the most valuable thing I have? For 2 dollars on a meal where I'd leave a bigger tip than the meal cost, location would be the most important factor. Always tip your breakfast Waitress well, and you can both start your day off with a smile.

What can I say... it just wasn't worth the hassle. I had a set of Bose noise canceling headphones, and the way it cuts engine noise is hard to complain. I might have never took them to the tractor if the radio had been right. The store is right in my hometown, I know most of the staff, and my...

He actually did a "truth about rk tractors" Just skip straight to 4:28 where he starts his commentary. Like Mike, this Mike had no problems except the battery connectors, then the ACidler bearing until I hit about 300 hours. I don't know how many hours Mike had at the end of his 2 year...

Outdoors with the Morgan's One of the coolest things I've someone do as far as effort and originality. An RK Tractor Dance. Doesn't matter what brand you like, you should enjoy it, if for no other reason, just the effort that went into it. And a short "leaning tree" how to.

Mike was very up front about the tractors from RK. You just needed to be fortunate enough to view one of the particular videos where he mentioned it. RK reached out to Mike and offered the tractor trio for his unrestricted use and commentary for a period of, I believe, one year, although it...

Thank you for the suggestion.
