    Just ordered my RK-55!

    I have 55H, also w/ grapple. You never know how much you'll use it until you have one. I rarely take it off

    RK55 Hydrostatic 50-hour Service: My first big RK post

    Just wanted to say thanks to the OP, I had his post memorized by the time I actually started the work. Mine went significantly better, only real issue was holding up the 5 gallon jugs of fluid to fill the transmission. Have some ideas, don't know for sure yet, too cheap to get a bucket pump.

    5 foot Sickle Mower

    I have a mid-mount sickle mower that is part of the original equipment set for a 1951 Super A. Looking to sell as it's not something I'll ever put on the tractor again and I don't like to keep things unless I use them. I'd like some suggestions on price please. Thanks

    Oil & Fuel  Maybe a silly question but....

    I'll keep it simple, can off-road diesel be used in RK tractors without problem? I see no reason to pay for the on-road diesel for my tractor, unless it is a requirement for warranty or whatever. I have looked in various literature, no success. I'm probably making Mt. Everest out of a small...

    Trailering, need dimensions please

    Good morning from the Bluegrass state, I'm about 1 a month or two from purchasing my RK. Still torn between 55 or 37. One of the factors is trailering, I need the length of the 37 and the 55, from front to back including loader, as it would sit on a trailer. Not planning on a trailer purchase...
