Are rural king tractors yanmars?

[RK Tractor Guy]

Our tractors are made by TYM, all high spec, all options in the base. TYM is the second largest manufacturer of under 60 HP tractors sold in the U.S. as they make tractors for other brands as well. RK Tractors sell for as much as 50% below the major competitors depending upon model, not because they are cheap, but because unlike every other brand, we buy directly from the manufacturer and sell directly to the tractor user. For those that are curious, yes, we make a good profit. We would not be in business otherwise. We like to sell things at the lowest possible price, and direct sourcing and selling of tractors enables us to do so profitably. They are made in our brand and color, sold exclusively at Rural King store locations. At this time, 40 of our 111 stores carry them, by the end of the year 49, next year over 90. While other retailers struggle, we are growing because we stay within our means. We are a family owned American company. If there was a tractor manufacturer that manufactured this class of tractor in America, we may very well buy our tractors from them but there isn’t despite claims by some to the contrary. We do final assembly at our own Tractor Assembly Centers in Waverly OH and Williston FL. We will open a 3rd in IL later this year. If our customers have service issues, we will handle either at the store location or we will dispatch one of our many mobile service techs. Customer response had been so good, we sold out of several models, that is why inventory may appear low. We are ordering in much larger quantities now. We have recruited leaders from competing tractor brands to fill in any experience gaps.

After reading through all of the comments on this thread, we thought it best to address some of the comments. People can choose to purchase an RK Tractor or not, this is America. We壇 just like to help ensure that they know as much about us and our products as they consider their purchase as opposed to receiving sometimes incorrect info. Our best to all, and a Happy 4th!

Nice to see/hear from the company in forums like this. Gives consumers some confidence that you are indeed vested in seeing sucess and not just looking to make a dime with no support!

Can we get a rural king in MD?

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

I REALLY WISH they would put a Rural King out here in New Mexico!!

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Heck, for that matter, even if it was in Colorado, I would drive the 5-6 hours to get there!

I'm not knocking Korean built anything. I'm a huge fan of Samsung TV's.

My point is, most people including myself are willing to pay more for machines from companies that have had a good reputation in the industry for a hundred years.

My Samsung TV was made in Mexico

...and that new LG washer and dryer will soon roll out of a state of the art, 1 million sft factory in Clarksville, TN. GM builds a lot more cars in China than it does in the U.S. Brand has little to do with country of origin, or even who actually made it. TYM is a good example of that. They sell a lot of tractors into the North American market, few of which carry the TYM brand.

Just looked at them yesterday. They are built by TYM in South Korea. they do use Yanmar engines. I did not see anything about them that would keep them off my short list if I was purchasing a tractor.

Thanks for your comment. We like to be pretty transparent about who makes our tractors, here is the link to where that information is provided on rktractors.com.
