    All I ever wanted is green?

    The TYM T25 (RK25) is a good tractor that I bought in 2021. Was afraid to buy an older tractor because I really didn't want to deal with older problems, but I have been looking at others such as the Kioti, Branson 25-26 HP tractors. They weigh more, have more lift, without the EPA baggage. I was...

    Install Winch to Compact tractor

    I'm looking for ideas to attach a 3500 HF winch to my tractor (RK25). I was wanting to put it on the front but maybe it would be best on the back? I was thinking permanent on the front somewhere. Removable would be fine for the back. 3-point? Hitch receiver mount? What gauge of wire to bring...

    Side by Side or 4x4

    My wife and I have been looking at getting a side by side for running up and down the mountains in southeast KY. It seems the cheap ones start at about 8000 and they go up from there. The JD Gators can easily be 25000. Even used the resale seems fairly high for what it is. My daughter was...

    Expected Depreciation in Used Tractors?

    Seeing the post this morning about the decline of the new tractor market made me think. What is the expected deprecation of used tractors? How much per year or per hour can you expect your equipment to lose in sale value on the used market? I'm sure it matters if you are picking up a JD or...

    Yard trailer and quick dump

    A couple weeks ago I built rear 3 point control and got good feedback. This week I want to show you another if you want to look: It's a "trailer" that I can use to take with me on trips with the regular trailer. I also can use it to unload the truck in seconds. It also works to keep logs out...

    RK 25 PTO Electrical short

    anyone have it where the PTO switch blows fuses? I believe it's the solenoid in the transmission. If it's not connected the fuse does not blow, leading me to think it's not a short in the wiring because I would think it would still fry. Thoughts?

    T25 (RK25) PTO Electrical short

    This was the first weekend that I have really used the PTO - couple hours and I was mowing. I stopped for a little bit and then started it up again at which it wouldn't do anything even though the dash light was on. I opened the fuse box and found the 5 amp blown for the PTO. I put another in...
