My Truth on RK Tractors

[Ledgemere Farm]

These days, I buy the dealerships more than the brand.

If you go to your local Cafe and order breakfast, two eggs over easy ham hash browns and toast and it costs $10. Someone taps on your shoulder and says I can sell you that breakfast for $8. What is your thoughts?

Depends how hungry I am. If very hungry, I have no other thoughts.

Where are they cooking it?

I have the same question. Are they some sort of advertising team?
You see a lot of that on TV commericals anymore.
Does anyone live near them or know them?

Check out "outdoor with the Morgans" on Utube to find out who they are.

I wonder what the real story was there. Mike seems like a guy that would not be interested in selling/marketing a machine the dealer didn't stand behind. Maybe he had some issues and decided he could not in good conscience continue. Maybe he had no issues and it was just timing.

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 seems like he had them longer than that. I think I've seen him mention the deal 3 times. I never recalled him having any issues in the videos I've watched.

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.

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 agreement. If I had 3 tractors to choose from, it would take While to get to 300 hours on each.

One thing he says in this video "I was contacted by RK Tractor Guy..." The long lost guy that has been discussed above.

Yes I was and sorry if I misread what you were trying to say.
My next question is what did you do to have them make it right?
Make them give you money back to cover the value?
Force a return of the tractor due to breach of contract?
They didn’t deliver the product as advertised or contracted for so they are in breach and My attorney would have my money back or a blue tooth radio installed at thier expense in no time.
Yes I know you have to pay an attorney but for this the cost to have them write a certified letter would have immediate action and resolution. Getting the cost of a blue tooth radio covered could easily be done in small claims court without an attorney if you chose that route.

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 business works on their building. It worked out to my benefit.... as far as the radio goes.

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.

I bought a TYM 23hp hydro tractor in '06. It bounced around the extended family for a few years and wound up back on our farm a few years ago. It's not fancy and isn't overly refined, but it's a nice little tractor that is a worker bee. There have been a few issues here and there, but overall it's been solid.

I'm a Massey and Deere guy, so I wouldn't buy another TYM but I can't complain about this little guy.
