RK55 Hrdro Cab L110 $32k

[Dfixit1]

Ive owned Kubota, Kioti and had good luck with them.
One standard feature on Kioti I like with Hard Cab is rear defogger. May not be necessary for southerners but for us northerners in the snowbelt its a must.

Engine manufacturer? Edit, Yanmar....

I didnt see any good videos explaining the product, just one with music playing. Any good product videos?
Links?
Edit...Found some vids but none that go through the tractor similar to Orchard Hills videos.
RK really needs better vids explaining the product features! Get rid of the musical vids. The example below is a dealer and they recently went to a wireless microphone so his newer ones are great. I’m not into following a YouTube guy and his projects using free equipment. Give me no nonsense vids explaining the equipment and features.
Should you Buy a DK10SE or NX10 Series Kioti Tractor? - Walkthru NX4510 & DK4710SE - YouTube

How does warranty work if there are no stores within several hundred miles?

Im considering a Kioti the same hp and their is priced better with cash rebates and heroes reward.
Does RK offer incentives?

Is RK the same company as King Cutter Pro?
Edit... partnered with them.
I purchased a 7’ rear blade and the metal was soft, (Chinese metal?) bent frame at pins and angered out pin holes. KC wouldnt stand behind the product.

Where is RK US headquarters and do they stock replacement parts?
Edit... Ohio
Thanks.

The RK store Tractor sales manager called me today and I might have to drive and check it out, sounds good but they aren’t set up for deliveries. He told me they fall short in this area and are working on it.

I did and it wasnt the type of video I was looking for. I wanted to see tractor features for comparison to other brands. Im not into reality shows.
The best tractor videos Ive seen have been done by a dealer, Orchard Hills Tractor. His older ones have a microphone on the camera but he has since got a wireless microphone. Too bad RK doesnt do them like OHT.

I have the RK55HC. If there is anything in particular you want to know about, ask away. I think Hilly did an excellent job as far as a general run down on the features though. Not sure I could add much more than he already has. His videos were actually what got me interested in the tractor initially.

Edit: One important note, I bought mine back when they were $30k. At that time, no one around me could offer the same price with comparable options. It comes pretty loaded as is. Only thing that was missing for my needs was a front remote which was about a $1000 add on installed.

They seem like a great value. Regrettably, the closest store is 200 miles from me. That killed it for me.

I understand your concern. But what options do you have when you live in the middle of nowhere?
I checked a Kubota dealer and a comparable L series 53 hp with cab and loader was $44600, and they charge for service calls to handle warranty issues.

Transport yourself or hire someone.....

Yes I know, TYM builds 14 different names. Thanks to hilly777 for finding this list.

Edit...They are the 2nd largest tractor company sales in the US.
Thanks RK Tractor Guy!

Always want to help our forum participants get the straight scoop. Been to TYM Korea what will be the 10th visit next month. They are the second largest manufacturer of under 60HP tractors sold in the U.S., (not close globally) largely due to the number they build for Mahindra USA, and also through what they build for RK and in their own brand TYM.
