Just found your channel and enjoying watching your videos. But I do have a question for you. I have a DK5310 but I am trading it in for an Rx7320. Did the hydro top like come with your tractor or did you purchase it after?
Hey Jason; thanks for watching brother. I bought it when I bought the tractor. Was only a couple hundred bucks and worth EVERY penny. You are going to love your rx man. It’s a BEAST. Congratulations on your new tractor!
Does yours just run off the factory rear remotes? I can’t wait for it. The do was good at first but I have taken on more work then what the DK can handle
It will run off the standard remote that they come standard with. I had another added which helps when running the batwing. I’m telling you man; it’s a beast.
I did the same and bought the RX 7320 just a month before you. Well pleased with it. Put 50 hrs on it in two weeks. I did due diligence also and looked & priced a lot of different tractors. For the $$$$$ it's the best kept secrete. I have 80 acres in NW Wyoming. Had thought about the NX & DX series .... but ... Tim-the-Toolman-Taylor was right ..... MORE POWER. Glad I didn't make the same mistake as you in getting a smaller tractor. Now my Belgians are getting a well deserved rest I end up buying more petroleum products. Guess there is a trade-off
Ha! I am glad that you went big to start with!!! You should have told me! Lol. Really happy with the RX. Kioti makes a heck of a product and I am super happy with it. Thanks for watchingn
Lots of people will make comments about open station tractors being “good enough for grandpa so it’s good enough for me”. I bet grandpa would have bought a tractor with a cab if he could. You wont regret it. Summer in Virginia is brutal. Being inside the cab when you boshhog or spread lime is luxurious. I love my RX 7320. We have 660 hrs on it. It’s been great so far. Great channel. And nice videos.
Thanks man; been watching yours as well!!! A vice for the receiver on your pickup?!? Mind blown. And you are absolutely right. I bought it wrong the first time; but this time I did it right. Buy once cry once. Some may think that buying an AC cab tractor is over the top. but I don't tolerate heat well. And, I just ask them if they bought their truck with or without AC. There will be times in the fall that I miss the open station; but that is not when the majority of our work needs to be done. Take care and you got a new follower.
Thanks!!! You will absolutely love it. It is a BEAST but still very simple to operate. Change the fluids early and often and it should outlive you! Thanks for watching!
Both great machines my friend!!! If we didn’t buy the Ventrac I would have a compact tractor for sure. The CX is one nice machine; especially when you need something lighter. 😁👍🏼. Thanks for watching buddy!
I just bought a RX6620 cab 2nd 3 rd function for hydraulic top link and tilt. 3rd grapple function on loader, usb plug with volt meter. 29 hrs problems so new alt. Belt as the factory did tighten up dealer missed it most all bolts on loader needed to be retorqued . Regen lights , have to run it at high RPM. Need to find a work around for this. Powerful tractor, lift a lot logs. Hardware comes loose. So far a good tractor,
Hey Harry! I have noticed that with tractors selling like hot cakes right now dealers are missing some things. Mine is a great dealer; still missed a few items. I retorqued, greased, zip tied and cleaned up what I could before really getting in the ground. Break in is tough with all machines, and these beasts are no different. They really do like to be run hard (high rpms) and still seem fuel efficient. Once you get the newness kinks out you are going to love it! They are quiet, clean burning bruisers. Hope you enjoy it and keep me posted! We appreciate you watching buddy!!!
I am burning about .6-.8 gallons per hr. Should get a little better as machine breaks in, and yes they are clean burning 🔥 I have the R4 industrial tires and like them as I have rocky ground talked to dealer about getting tenths on hour meter but they say only hrs. Are recorded. So it is hard to figure Gallons per hour. Shuttle trans.
Hey Steven, Thanks for the kind words! Yeah; we bought the place before the land insanity took hold. Glad that we did. The current situation with everything on lockdown has just driven things up as well. You will find your place! There are always deals somewhere. God has blessed us beyond what our simple minds can fathom. He will do the same for you! Have a Great Week! -JTF
I live in Tennessee near knoxville, I bought the Ventrac first and love it, but no cab. Watching you and others I think I’m going the same way with a Kioti cab. Thanks for the video. Bill
Hey Bill; thanks for watching! If you are in Tennessee then you know how erratic our weather can be...so I am glad that you are considering the cab. I 10% wish I had the open station when the weather is really nice; but 90% have no regrets (especially when it is hot). Also, looking forward to having heat this winter when moving around the property. How many acres are you taking care of and what do you need the tractor to do? -JTF
@@JoeTheFarmer I have around 40 acres. 7 acres of bottom land that are mostly hayfield and about 7 acres of hillside pasture that the ventrac takes care of very nicely. A bunch of trees mostly old growth that are just too big for the ventrac to wrangle. My Ventrac has the 3 pt option. I tried using a cat 1 3 pt boom from tractor supply but it wouldn’t lift the logs or drag them. Logs are about 3’ in dia. I’m wanting a 55 or better horse power to handle the mile long back driveway, wrangle the larger trees and brush hog. Although, I am looking at the Avant 800 w/cab loader option too. I’m thinking it may be better and has a lot of attachments (200). I really like the telescopic arm and tree grapple www.avanttecno.com/us/machines/800-series Im thinking about getting a sawmill next year. Bill
@@BillCoSmith Hey Bill, sounds like you have yourself a nice little slice of heaven. The Ventrac is an awesome tool; but like everything it has it's limitations. When I had my Kioti DK5010 I never had a time where I needed more power. We have a half mile long gravel drive that I maintain with the tractor and it did that without any issue. It also lifted things without a grunt (lime pallets, rocks, trees, etc). When I went to the cab, it was surprising how little extra money it was going to take to go from the 50/60 hp to the 73 hp RX. Now, I will say that the RX frame is probably WAY too big for what you want. I will likely buy a batwing in the future, needed higher lifting capacity, ability to load round bales, etc...so my needs were more for the larger frame. Also, the AC/Powershuttle rob some hp...and I didn't want to go backwards on PTO power. I would be looking ad the dk5010se if I were in your shoes with a cab. Load the tires, set them out wide and you should have a really stable machine for the hay ground and modest hills. The Avant looks awesome! But, there are so many tractor attachments that you can use with a CUT that it is hard to not have one in the barn. -JTF
@@BillCoSmith Makes sense! That Avant is one cool piece of machinery. I may have to invite myself over to do some work!!! Lol Stay safe out there... -JTF
I just traded my 2017 DK5010 for a new RX7320 PC. I too should have bought the bigger tractor with cab from the start. I have 80 acres of CRP in north Iowa to mow and maintain. I also switched to R1 tires. I could not stand the R4’s.
Hey Nick! Thanks for watching. Sounds like we were in the same boat! Lol. My dealer was really good with me so can’t complain too much. And love the bigger tractor and cab! Sounds like you have an awesome spot. Do you hunt the crp at all?
@@JoeTheFarmer Yes. We plant foodplots of turnips, clover, buckwheat, ryegrass and soybeans for the deer and pheasants. I have my 80 in several different programs. I have a field windbreak that consists of 16,000 trees planted over 25 acres. I have 27 acres of pollinators, 7 acres of firebreaks, and 7 acres of filter strips along a creek. The rest is foodplots and un-tillable creek bottom. The property was left to me from my grandfather. Love the channel. Keep they young man in the tractor...
That is awesome Nick! That rx with the cab will be a God send in the heat/winter. Thanks for the compliment brother! We have had a ball doing this channel. Appreciate you watching and I will definitely keep the young man in the tractor. Wish it had a buddy seat. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
I know this video is two years old, and that I'm late to the party, so I apologize in advance. But my question is, when modding a Cat1 quick hitch to fit a Cat 2 3pt, aren't you defeating the purpose of having a Cat 2 3pt.? Now, your quick hitch won't support the weight of some of the heavier 3pt attachments that you'll get, correct? Tell me if my thinking is wrong. I would think that if I were in your shoes, I'd sell the Cat 1 quick hitch, but the Cat 2 quick hitch, and now I'd have the correct quick hitch that will support the weight of ANY Cat 2 implements that I may buy in the future. Or, other than dimensions of the Cat 1 vs Cat 2, are they identical and the same spec as far as how much weight they'll support?
Hey Jeff, I guess the best answer is that my size tractor is kind of a “tweener”. Its not big enough for the massive implements and too big for the small tractor implements. I didn’t want to sell everything I already owned and repurchase because that would be super expensive with little benefit. And they were already set up for this size quick hitch. Also, at the end of the day I can just remove it and just use the lift arms and top link. After 2 years it’s really been an easy transition and works great. When using the large batwing mower just lift it and it’s out of the way. Hope this helps!
@@JoeTheFarmer That makes perfect sense. I'm in the same situation now. I've got a tiny Kubota BX 2350, and am going to be buying either your identical tractor, or the TYM 754 (cab as well). I'll probably also buy from Larry Stovesand as well. I really like Mike's videos. He's VERY informative. Anyway, I've got the small SCUT attachments now, but mine will be absolutely too small for the 73-75 HP tractor. For example, I've got a 4' rotary cutter now, and that will just be too small for a utility tractor. Anyway, I hadn't thought about simply removing the quick hitch if you had a really large implement, and attaching it directly to your 3pt. Thanks for your input.
Awesome! You will be happy with either machine. And tell Mike I sent ya! May give you a hat or something. Lol. My implements are 6’ and sometimes too small. Just hard to justify buying new ones when I already have them.
Hey Joe. I've watched this video before, but am just watching it again now to "get my 7320 fix" lol. I'm curious, by using the Cat 1 quick hitch, has it been strong enough to use Cat 2 implements? Of do you not have any category 2 implements yet? I'm just curious, because I've got a Cat 1 on my Kubota BX now, and as I told you in comments on some of your other videos, I'll be getting either a 7320 or the TYM 754 within the next few weeks, so I'm going to have the same dilemma as you did. Already having a category 1 quick hitch, but a tractor that takes category 2 implements. I just don't know if I should bite the bullet and just buy another quick hitch, as I'm guessing the category one, may fail under the heavier loads of category 2 implements. I wonder what your thoughts are on this. Any input?
I would use the same quick hitch. You will do fine with it. You will need some bushings on some implements but I wouldn’t buy anything new unless you hit a roadblock. Buy the hydraulic top link!!!
Nice!!! Haying with an open station is like a baptism by fire. If it is in the field it will end up in your teeth, eyes, ears and everywhere else! Sound like you got one heck of a tractor! What did you buy?! Thanks for watching bearkat!
Hey Mike; congratulations! I did the same math. And I am not one to bash ANY tractor brand, but in all honesty the Kioti was right there with the Kubota. I didn’t see any reason to spend more for the name. AGAIN, to my Kubota friends...you have GREAT tractors. But Kioti is also a fantastic product. Mike, you are going to love it. Did you get an RX? Thanks for watching buddy!
