I know most folks on here say they wouldn't buy a tractor from Rural King but for those that would you might find this interesting. I received a sale flier from RK by email today and noticed that they have a small add that says end of year sale of 10% off all models of tractors. I went to their...

I'm posting this here since TYM makes tractors for numerous brands. I have a RK37HSC that the forward pedal won't move. Yesterday I was using the grapple to clean up some branches and limbs left in my pasture by hurricane Milton. I moved a couple piles and on the last batch I moved I dumped...

The first of this month I made a post in the hydraulic forum concerning the slow curl action on my RK37. It takes right at 17 seconds for a full curl when the manual states 5.3 seconds. Long story short I swapped the connections of the curl/dump hoses and the FEL lift arms at the valve and the...

Early last year I installed the diverter valve sold by Rural King as a kit for my RK37 along with a grapple made by Homestead Implements. Yesterday I removed the grapple and installed a hay spear to move a couple round bales. After spearing the first bale I noticed that the boom lifts fine but...

I finally decided to purchase a 3pt ballast box for my RK37. After watching numerous YouTube videos seeing what others have liked and not liked I decided to purchase one from Rural King, Most of the dislikes on the videos was the fact that the tabs the lift pins mount to had questionable welds...

For some reason I was under the impression that Rural King discontinued the 74 model. Last Sunday I was at RK picking up horse feed and mentioned to one of the employees that I've seen around the tractor section before that it was a shame that the RK74 is no longer available. He said he more...

I bought the third function/diverter valve kit from Rural King for my RK37HC thinking that all hoses and so forth were included and cut to the correct length. My neighbor who does a lot of mechanical work on tractors installed the valve for me today but there's no pressure to the grapple. The...

I posted this in the RK forum but thought the solution might be an aftermarket part so I thought I'd place it here too for more views. I have a RK37 cab model and the Florida heat and sun has destroyed the boot on my FEL joystick. The parts breakdown shows the joystick and gives a part number...

The joystick boot on my RK37HC has more or less disintegrated from the sun and heat. Has anyone had to replace theirs? If so did you order it from RK or find another brand that fit?? Thanks.........

I have never had a reason to use my wipers but noticed that the rubber had more or less dry rotted on them. I was afraid that sometime I might inadvertently turn them on while reaching for the work lights button and the rubber come off the blades thus scratching the glass. The front wiper is...

Today I discovered that some parts for the RK can be ordered on line. I had always went to RKTractors.com before and looked at the parts catalogs there but I saw no way of placing an order. Today I was looking at their main website for Pat's quick hitch and when I looked at the different...

I've often wondered about listening to radio with the tractor shut down but the ignition switch in the on position. Most vehicles have an accessory position to use for radio, windows and so forth without applying power to the rest of the vehicle modules. Anyone know if having the ignition...

5 minutes before 2022........ Happy New Year to all. Just wondering if any RK37 owners have an issue opening the hood. MIne has always been a bear to open since new sometimes requiring a screwdriver through the grasping ring to open the hood. I figured that was normal until I noticed on some...

I've noticed recently that the fabric sleeve covering the hydraulic hoses from the control valve up between the loader and cabin is losing it's battle with the hot FL sun. It's just falling apart. My question is if there's any sense in replacing it? Seems that if replaced with another OEM one...

I'm in the initial stages of ordering a grapple for my RK37 and planning on installing a third function valve myself. I plan on purchasing the valve from RK since their kit is complete with all fittings, joy stick, steel lines and hydraulic hoses. Been doing a lot of video watching on YouTube...

Today I went to get in my RK37HC and I couldn't open the door, The button to unlatch it would only go in about 1/4". I was getting ready to look up the part number on-line to call the local dealer and have them order a new handle but decided to see if I could find out what happened to the one...

The manual shows the transmission takes 9.2 gallons when serviced. Any idea if that figure includes the amount required by the FEL or do I need to have a couple quarts extra on hand. Thanks from miserably hot and humid Florida........Don

Yesterday when I turned on the A/C the belt randomly slipped causing a squeal. I checked the tension on both the fan belt that runs the alternator and the one that runs the A/C compressor. Both had quite a bit of play so I tightened the one running the alternator but the one for the A/C...

A few time since owning my RK37HSC I've set the parking brake while connecting a trailer or 3pt hitch attachment then started to drive off with the parking brake engaged. I thought of maybe wiring up a pressure switch and installing a small LED light to illuminate when the brake handle is...

This weekend I was discussing the purchase of the 3rd function controller kit with the lead rep and my local store. He mentioned that the kit comes complete with the control stick with 3rd function button, hoses, rigid lines and so forth. I have the RK37 cab model and he was showing me that...

I have about 80 hours on my 2018 37HST and I have never had the regen light come on. I have seen others say that they got them at varying hours but most were at 50 hours give or take. I asked the tractor guy at the store I purchased it from when I had a little over 50 hours and he said that...

I've been eyeing the 72" grapple sold by Rural King. Watching the video by Mike Morgan the RK37 can handle the 72" grapple as well as the 60" one. I bought a hay spear attachment from Titan last year and was super impressed with the their customer service when I received the box with the two...

My RK37HC now has 64 hours on it and I have yet to see a regen request. Several months back I seem to remember someone mentioning that theirs did a regen right at 50 hours when the first service was due. Just curious at what point other RK37 owners are seeing for having to start the regen...

Well, another issue to deal with. Friday I was mowing in the pasture and when I got down to the last bar on the fuel gauge I went in and filled the tank completely then went back to mowing. The area I was mowing was pretty rutted up so it was bumpy. I mowed about 30 minutes to finish up and as...

The other day I was using the FEL to pick up a pile of horse manure where I had been cleaning out the stable and I noticed that the left side of the bucket was digging into the dirt surface about 1/2 inch deeper that the right side. I thought that maybe the front tire pressure was low but it...

Anybody know the tire pressures on the RK37 with industrial tires. Only reference I can find is a chart in the manual that appears to show the sizes but I don't see anything about pressures. Thanks........Don

Last Saturday I was using my RK37HSC to move some round bales of horse hay and as I was shutting down the fuel gauge indicated two bars. Then yesterday when I started it up the gauge indicated a full tank. This has happened on at least one other occasion. I used the machine for about 20...

Yesterday when I was using the FEL on my RK37HC to transport bags of horse feed from my truck to the barn something shiny in the pasture caught my eye. It turned out to be the rod that runs through the guide on the right FEL cylinder. Evidently one of the nuts came off allowing the rod to fall...

In the next couple months I'll be starting to use baled hay for my horses as the pasture fizzles out. Trying to decide which type of hay spear would be the best to use with my RK37HC, a 3pt mounted or one for the FEL. I like the idea of having the bale out front for visibility but wondering...

I have the RK37 HST cab model that I purchased in early late June or early July. I have about 17 hours on it now from pasture mowing but I've noticed something that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not. The 3 point hitch control lever marking are from 1 to something like 9 with 9 being the...
