Just watched your complete video review on the RK25, it may be the best video put on utube describing a product. Very infirmative. Thank you very much. Helped me out allot.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 Along with everything you covered and a couple of other videos I have watched, I am up to date on the RK25. I am still trying to figure out all the differences between the RK25 and the TYM T25. Thank You.
thank you , you did a great job .I just brought one home and this is an excellent explanation of most if not all the little gems on this little tractor thank you again. Roy Boy
I'm viewing this my second time Denny. Thats one beefy machine. Very heavy built. I was surprised looking at the hydraulic rams on bucket lift, they look way bigger than my J.D. 3025e hydraulic rams. Another feature is the radiator screen. Mine doesn't have that option. Very well engineered in my opinion. Thank you sir for your review. I think most people think after their buyer remorse is man, I shoulda bought bigger. For myself the RK 37 would be more tractor than I would need. While the RK 24 might not be enough. Then, just like that, Rural King came out with their RK 25 I'm thinking it would be perfect for the Barr house. Thanks my friend for your review.
I can’t speak highly enough of my RK TRACTOR at this point. When I get some more hours on it and a little more time passes I will do a review video. I am a firm believer if you take care of it then it will will take care of you. Thanks for watching. Glad we could help. I am sure you have already subscribed so you can see the new videos as they come along.
Looks like a very well thought out tractor. Doing a lot of research online and visiting dealers on my own, the Rural King RK 25 has more bang for your buck. I was quoted a price of $2000.00 more for the comparable TYM T25. And that is with the third function installed on the RK 25. The TYM dealer wanted an additional $1200.00 for third function installation. I'm looking forward to your videos of the RK 25 working on your land.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 thanx i didn't get the backhoe but I will just trying to keep payments low for now I don't have much land but tractor stuff just looks fun. All my neighbors will be liking me ha ha

I enjoyed this video very informative. I am looking into buying the RK25 with backhoe as well. Have been looking for videos on how does the backhoe is remove, not much on this model. I guess I will find out soon enough. Keep up the good job.
Glad I could help. Thanks for the compliment. I have a couple small clips from a while ago on the backhoe removal. But I plan to do a full video soon. I have some backhoe work that I need to start. Subscribe to our channel so you don’t miss it.

Je vous remercie pour cette vidéo 👍 Super tracteur et très bien équipé Dommage qu'il n'y en ait pas en France. J'aimerais bien en essayer un et certainement en acheter un.😀 Pouvez vous nous en exporter ? Ce serait super bien. J'adore❤️
You did a better job describing the tractor than TYM/RK did on their promotional material! Are you able to put the bucket into float mode? I am very close to making my decision on buying this tractor. Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Thank you for watching the channel. I see that you have recently been going through our videos. We are glad that this has been helpful for you. Yes there is a float mode on the loader. I say jump in and order your new rk25. It has been great for our hobby farm.
Great video , can you do a video with a measurement from the front loader bucket to the rear backhoe bucket while its in the pinned up position and a measurement of the backhoe bucket to the ground? Would really appreciate it.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 I meant a measurement from the ground to the bottom of the bucket when it it is in the pinned up travel position, my dilemma is I only have a 14 foot trailer so I hope I can back the tractor with the the back hoe up on to the trailer and tow it with the backhoe bucket over the front rail of the trailer . Thank you for the response I really appreciate it.
My concern with the RK 25 and a belly mower is maintaing the blades. It's pretty heavy (1800 lbs) too heavy for even a heavy duty mower lift. I wouldn't want to take the deck off every time I need to sharpen the blades. Does anyone have experience with belly mower?
How tall are you?? I am 6'5 and have not been able to actually put my hands on a 25... I wondering if 25 is large enough for MY frame?? 24 not very comfortable for me but that dang bucket control also in the way on the 24 !!!
I know I ask you slot of questions so here's another. I don't think I have a mid pto how do you tell? I see a drive shaft on the bottom looks like won top and I see what looks like a oil filter above where the drive shaft hooks on the rear. I thought they all had them then I noticed it's an option
Actually we finally installed the third function valve just a couple of days ago. I had to work yesterday. Today I plan to sift through the video clips and compile it. We will have the installation video definitely by the end of the weekend. Thanks for watching. Subscribe and hit the bell icon to be notified when it is posted.
It is 17.5’ front tip to tip. So if you want everything to fit the at least 18’ trailer. I normally use a 20’. You can turn the backhoe and curl the front bucket but that gives you less trailer contact space and makes your load off center.
I have noticed that my rk25 runs better and doesn’t bog down when I have the hydraulic control valve to the left rather than in neutral when I’m using loader or just driving around. Do you know if this is ok?
I have looked at the canopy RK sells and it will not work with this ROPS. It will mount but it will have an extreme slope / angle. I am sure there are others designed for this type of ROPS.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 Not so sure, haven't seen a canopy on the tym264,. TYM T25 or the RK25. Those Rops are wired and someone with some connections should bring this subject up to them. thanks alot, enjoy your videos, have a great day.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 Just a little slow to get through the vid, the long pauses were a tad much. Good video, just need to get through the info a little quicker.

I am 5’9”. Where are you located?
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 va
Does the pto lever on off keep the pto switch locked and after engaging it do you put it on full throttle like a zeroturn to run a mower or bush hog?
I know I ask you slot of questions so here's another. I don't think I have a mid pto how do you tell? I see a drive shaft on the bottom looks like won top and I see what looks like a oil filter above where the drive shaft hooks on the rear. I thought they all had them then I noticed it's an option
They are not shipped with a mid pto. If the tractor is ordered with a belly mower then they install it at rk’s tractor assembly center.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 awesome thank you you're a great source of information I'm sure I'll have more questions later lol
did you ever got your third function? Hope you make a video on how to install it.

How long of a trailer do i need to haul this with the backhoe on it ?
It is 17.5’ front tip to tip. So if you want everything to fit the at least 18’ trailer. I normally use a 20’. You can turn the backhoe and curl the front bucket but that gives you less trailer contact space and makes your load off center.
I have noticed that my rk25 runs better and doesn’t bog down when I have the hydraulic control valve to the left rather than in neutral when I’m using loader or just driving around. Do you know if this is ok?
Only use it in the center position.
Hi. Could someone please mount a canopy on this tractor to see if one would really fit. If. Not those Rops should be redesigned. Thanks
I have looked at the canopy RK sells and it will not work with this ROPS. It will mount but it will have an extreme slope / angle. I am sure there are others designed for this type of ROPS.
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 Not so sure, haven't seen a canopy on the tym264,. TYM T25 or the RK25. Those Rops are wired and someone with some connections should bring this subject up to them. thanks alot, enjoy your videos, have a great day.
@@boblani8150 I could send you a pic via email or fb.
There are aftermarket canopies available for these specific rk/tym tractors
If only they had factory cabs.
RK/TYM does have a cab you can have put on the tractor. It only has heat no A/C.
Needs more detail
What kind of details would you like?
@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 I was being sarcastic. Very detailed video. Great job. I'm going with the cab version
@@DonnieDarko727 lol thanks…. I have yet to see a RK25 with the cab.
