I think that’s a good idea! Do you’re own service as you can! Thanks for sharing!
That’s my plan moving forward, sadly I think it’s best. Thanks for watching brother!
I think they have a really nice product. Having said that, without a dealership network and parts availability and the necessary experienced technicians, it leads me to feel likeI am alone out in the wilderness without support.
I like the idea of these brands coming along and giving John Deere and Kubota competition.
Glad you got your tractor back and hope that it gives you endless hours of service with no problems.
I agree, they’re not terrible tractors they just have no parts or support.
The thing I love about the RK argument is the soul of a tractor is the power train and the fact that it’s power train is is the same as JD you can’t beat that.. if it was a infector issue you coulda had the same issue if you bought the JD
Exactly!
I did my 50 service myself and I have 150hrs on my RK37HC no problems except on the 50 I had problems finding the hydraulic filter they changed it to a different design and no one had it in stock at the time had to call the Manufacturer in Waverly ohio where they biuld them and had it shopped to the house.. I also watch outdoors with the Morgan's and I have the Totes as well I use them for fire wood and the tanks I cut the top of them off and use them as Raised beds for growing vegetables I find the one that were used as food grade or had Fertilizer in them.. also as a mechanic I think you had a injector stick the way you described it I believe that was the issue so dirt my had caused the problem it my not ever do it again but only time will tell.. I can't wait to start my channel in the spring.. as always god bless and stay safe from the buckeye state...
A sticking injector would definitely make sense. Hopefully I don’t have any more issues with it but now I have confidence my engine is not blowing up lol.
Yeah these had pretty rough chemicals in them at one time, so I will have to get rid of the plastic portions. I was able to get them very cheap because of that though. God bless brother, looking forward to seeing your channel!
The zump have two separate oil drain. They drained pit over filled it.
Yeah it sucks when your tractor is down! I have had my Kioti for 120 hours now and no problems. I did the 50 hour maintenance myself and replace all the fluids and filters. The tractor sounded better after I did that too! I don’t know if they use different viscosity fluids for break in period. All in all the tractor allows me to do more! My brush piles that I am going to burn after the first snow fall are huge! Can’t wait!
Ive been curious about the Kioti tractors, wondering if they were decent.
I’m looking forward to getting some rain this week, I’ve had a burn pile that I’ve needed to get rid of for about six months but it’s been too dry. With this hurricane coming we might actually get a little rain.
I have the DK5310SE cab model. It surprises me with how much weight it will lift with the grapple. It has been a workhorse for me!
@@newhampshire-bob1604 I got pallet forks instead of the grapple. I bet that grapple is a life saver!
Yes, able to pick up large rocks, parts of trees, all secure in the grapple! It is the Wicked 60” grapple from Everything Attachments!
I have a L3901...and wish I bought the RK37. I believe you got way more tractor than my Kubota.
Yes except when the RK falls to pieces your kubota will still be kicking and the RK tractor owner will be without a tractor.
@Idiot My Kubota is dumping hydronic fluid, now it's gotta be broke a part to replace a seal in the trans. It's a P.O.S
@@crustyzs6885 that is happens with you buy a clapped out piece of trash.
@@Retarded229 parts and service are foremost....just traded in the L3901 for a MX5400.....the square baler has a new master now!
@@HerkCC I wish I would’ve gotten the MX. I traded my 2501 for the 4701.
If mechanical support is not there on RK tractors I will not buy one unless a TYM dealer will be willing to take over the Maintenance end on these Tractors, if not then I will either buy an American Tractor used.
Not related to a tractor but similar situation. My wife' s Hyundai had her engine replaced with a new engine at 50,000 miles by the dealer. So I wanted the dealer to do all future service in case there was a problem with the new engine. Every time the oil was changed in the new engine the next day I would check the oil, car sitting the garage. Always showed overfilled. One year later the engine developed a oil leak. Dealer said oil pan gasket. I thought remove pan clean both surfaces and replace gasket. Nope replace oil pan and charge me 400.00 dollars. I still say leak was caused by an overfilled engine oil. Never trust the dealership. No more Hyundai's for me.
It’s frustrating that there are hardly any true professionals left in the world.
I can’t believe they tell you nothing wrong with the tractor when the oil level was way over the full mark?? Hmmm 🤔 anyways hope alls well with it now Sir thanks for sharing
I haven’t had any issues since, hopefully it was just a fluke thing that happened one time. I’m keeping my eye on the oil level though.
@@MaynardFamilyHomestead I would too lol yeah maybe a fluke thing and I’m sure it’s fine now. I’d still buy one of them tractors I own a small kubota b2620 and love it but I don’t have a good dealer near me anymore so absolutely would look at the RK line up
Tint the windows and the ac will be a lot better
I really want to do that. Maybe this year I’ll get it done!
I live in Ohio the tint helps for the summer heat and for winter snow blindness
Love your honesty new subscriber :)
Awesome, thanks! We appreciate you joining our UA-cam family.
Sounds like it went through a Regen cycle
Not trying you what to do, but I hope you do not let your tractor sit with implements still raised. That will take a toll on seals and O rings , which could eventually cause leaks in the system.
RK seems like a lot of Tractor for the money but don’t know much about them.
It really is for the money. I wouldn’t use it for commercial work but on a small farm it is perfect.
Fuel is definitely getting into your crankcase. Not good!! It's going to keep happening and it'll eventually ruin your engine!!
Probably after my warranty is over. :-/
@Maynard Family Homestead sir i know this is 4 months late but I am a service tech for rural king and will not give details but i will tell you this keep an eye on your oil level after running your tractor try to keep checking it in the same place so that it is more accurate if it is rising it is probably one of your hydraulic pump seals leaking into the crank case lot of guys overlook this
@@rathey7999 I really appreciate that! I will definitely continue to check it regularly.
RK can't pay their wrenches tractor dealer rates. The RK mechanic in Crossville, TN went to work for the TYM dealer.
TYM does not own Mahindra. TYM now owns the parent company of Branson tractors. TYM and Branson use a common engine Kukje.
What is the size of the hydraulic fill port?
Sorry if you covered this but. Who makes the engine in your Rk37? Thanks
It’s a Yanmar engine.
@@MaynardFamilyHomestead thank you
That poor litte Rk37 got "roasted,toasted,& jolted" in the HOT SUN,just when approaching a "regen" when it was "slamed" up againt the governor; running at "full-steam" & even pumping the air conditioning at FULL POWER. Those HEAVY windrows had it "gasping fer every breath", meanwhile keeping you "refreshed & Cool". Well Sir l believe you "hit the nail on the head" when said " maybe l need a bigger tractor"; or at least "fortify the power" by turning the air conditioning OFF- OFF- OFF; when Full power is Demanded. My calculations concluded a saturation of horsepower deficiency, external heat, internal cabin cooling & a power hungry bailer ( it was rocking & jolting the tractor) the whole time. Much lighter rows would of helped!- as so would of a intercooler turbo-super-charger , bigger oil coolers, & a super "high-grade" sythetic crankcase oil ( no "el-cheepo,rot-gut)[ most likely]. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
I realize this is a 4 month old video, but I would advise ANYONE to think REALLY hard about buying a RK tractor. For me it's a HARD NO. Service and parts are a HUGE part of owning a tractor. My local RK has one mechanic. And that mechanic isn't some world class mechanic. If you break down, you are in trouble.
I went to a Kubota for the parts/mechanic reasons AND because the finance on a RK actually makes the cost more than a comparable Kubota. 0% for 84 months (Kubota) VS 7.5% with RK. Over that period of time, you are looking at a large difference in price. Kubota was only a few thousand more. I saved 7K over the long haul.
These clowns that you are relying on to "fix" your RK tractor are incompetent. So that means YOU are doing all the wrench work, or paying someone else while you are supposed to have a warranty. .
Yeah it’s a little frustrating to say the least. Once Covid hit parts became almost impossible to find. The employees at Rural King are very frustrated with corporate because they’re not listening to them about getting a supply of parts on hand. If they don’t get their act together I don’t see RK tractors lasting very long. They were pretty good in the beginning, but went downhill fast.
@@MaynardFamilyHomestead I get it. I'm sorry you are going through it. When you depend on your equipment to get the work done, it's not good when it's dead in the water. Hopefully there is at least a learning lesson in this. I know when I worked full time in farming, there was a reason most farmers bled green. Other brands weren't necessarily bad, but having parts in a day was better than waiting a week sometimes with other colors, especially at harvest or planting season.
I thought really hard and I’m not spending an extra 15k for a tractor with less stuff on it. I will find a mechanic if I need one.
Vapor lock, it’s always vapor lock
you might not want to talk about playing with Emissions on you tube as it is a Federal Crime 😞
