- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- I'm in the process of looking at compact tractors. So far, the Rural King offering is the top of the list. It just has so much value!
I'm realizing that people are VERY loyal to their favorite brand of tractor! When I was growing up in the tobacco fields, there were John Deere and International tractors around here and that's about all you'd see. Now there are a dozen or more brands and everybody sticks to their favorite! Interesting...
Maybe it's called sticking to what works and lasts.
Your money, buy what you desire
Too bad you couldn't check out a Branson tractor.

Branson`s dealer support sucks. Good luck getting parts and repairs done. And there arent enough dealers around as it is. That makes it ALOT worse.
@@mi2tn Well, that narrows it down to 2 brands then. John Deere or Kubota.
Thanks, great video.I really appreciate the fact that you don’t have any music blasting away in the background.
Stick a Kubota or John Deere. I`m betting the bigger bang for the buck is Kubota. It was for us anyway. All those other tractors really suck when you have terrible dealer support.
We chose the Kubota BX23S. We`ve owned JD`s for well over 30yrs, and JD couldnt even come close in the savings that Kubota did. We`ve had ZERO issues with our 2017 Kubota.
We also live in snow country. I have a 7ft rear blade on a Land Pride QH-05 quick hitch to plow our driveways. It works absolutely great. Front loader qwik-attach. Nothing like it. We have several frontend attachments. And the frontend loader comes off the tractor without ever getting out of the seat. We have the 60in mid mount mower. Cuts our lawns beautifully. The backhoe on it is a god send. We`ve saved THOUSANDS of dollars by doing our own work. Tractor has paid for itself already. Our dealer liquid filled the rear tires for free when we bought it. We got ZERO percent intrest, and 2 free attachments when kubota was offering the deal. That`s also something to think about too... find out what each brand is willing to give you with the tractor deal. Hands down, Kubota won us over very easily. We are still as happy as the day we bought the tractor brand new in May of 2017. Last year we bought a Land Pride box blade. How i ever got along without one this long i`ll never know. What a great attachment. Last but not least.... that pedal you complained about on the Kubota`s, funny how i dont get kinks in my neck anymore. Its easier to operate the rear implements without having to stretch out to reach side by side pedals like the RK and JD has. Just some food for thought.
I have 2 LS tractors. A xg3025 and a 3010. The 3025 has paid for itself and the only problem was a$1.00 spring on the backhoe safety lever. 200 hrs. The 3010 had a emergency light switch go after 10 years of use. $30.00 . You can't beat them for price..
I've had my Rk 24 for over 2yrs now and have good luck out of it. I have almost 300 hrs on and haven't had any problems out of it. I've pushed it really hard to get the work done that I have done. I used mine 2 weeks after I got it to fix the road to my hunting cabin and the road had 3ft deep ruts in it.
I am in the market for a subcompact and your video really helped a lot. Thanks for the information and run down on each of the models you viewed.
I used to be a Zamboni driver and that static pedal on the Kubota reminds me of that alot. Thanks for the video
Coming up on 2 years with my RK24. One of the best purchases we've ever made. Our town has a local Deere and Kubota dealership, so I took a risk going 30 miles to buy the RK. So far, it's been reliable, strong, and very capable. Have only had one issue, and dealership was great about a fast repair. At about 170 hours right now, and I've beat the crud out of it, and it still looks and runs like new. By the way, I added a hydraulic top link that utilizes that standard rear remote... wow. Makes hooking up large accessories like a wood chipper and yard roller *so* much easier and more versatile in the field.
RK is nothing but a TYM with different decals.
@@RealJeepso? TYM making good products these days and parts will be available for them for a long, long time.
@@mightyminifarm So? My GF has an RK37 and I have a TYM 25. And your point is?
@RealJeep point is those decals. Make it so u can drop the tractor off a a local rural king for warentee work or to get an extra option installed.
I build transmissions for stellantis. We build the 6 speed manual for Mercedes. I have the 6 speed in my dart and gladiator. Mercedes cant.be dropped off at a dodge dealer for warentee. My dart cant be taken to Mercedes for a new transmission. Even though it's the same.
Have a 2015 1025R since new. It is a brute for its size. Consult the dealer for pricing promotions. When I purchased mine it was 3K less than the MSRP. Tractor Loader Backhoe with a 54D mower deck. Had a warranty issue with the fuel pump that was completely covered by Deere. The removal if the attachments are a breeze. Zero issues with the hydraulic quick connects. I use the tractor hard pushing it to its limits and sometimes a little beyond.
Well, i have already bought a tractor but i still like seeing unbiased reviews.
I can vouch for the RK24. I have been hard on mine for 50 hours now doing land clearing. I have the grapple with third function valve, Woodland mills wg24 stump grinder, 4' tiller, 4' bush hog, landscape rake, bucket with piranha tooth bar, and soon to get the box blade. I am absolutely amazed at the capability of this little tractor. I have had so far zero issues. I did the 50 hour maintenance myself and it was easy. My favorite attachment has to be the grapple. I have picked up and moved some things that I thought would have never been possible.
Got mine last June and I agree:its awesome, with more power than I thought it would have!
1994 1320 Ford/New Holland here, starts every time & runs like new, i owner ME.Push that throttle 1/3 up & it will start the first time with out coughing for lack of fuel. Filters & fuel 27 years that's it. mid mower & 5' equipment, tiller/hog.rake/grader & box blade, aerator, boom pole, only problem I have is my tires are starting to melt & turn back to oil when I roll out on asphalt LOL.
I'm steadily referring back to the rk24 or the rk37 myself for all the features and for the money so far it's at the top of my list
Nice video. We think alike. I went with the RK24. Considered Deere, Kubota, Mahindra, and RK.
were accully thinking on replacing 2 deeres and 3 newholland loader tractors and getting 6 or posibly 7 kubota loader tractors
I had a JD790 years go. Great tractor. In the market for another 6 months ago and started researching all brands. I'm not loyal to a brand. I want the most value for my hard earned dollars like most. For what I was looking for, the Kioti CK3510SE HST really got my attention. After hour and hours of research I ended up with the Kioti. Owning a JD again would have been great because of the history and great name but it wasn't worth thousands more for similar features and performance. What matters in the end is each tractor owner is happy with their decision. Just do a ton of research before buying.
Oh fun times, went through this in 2018! I looked at RK, JD, Kubota, Mahindra, New Holland when I was looking for a subcompact. I was more looking at the little features and comfort and specs as well. The most important will be your dealer and how they treat you! That should be first! Parts, are you going to be able to get parts in 10 years on an RK tractor, Kioti, Branson? Not sure where you live, any cold days, treat the diesel all year, I use Howes, may switch to stanadyne. Back to the tractors, the Kubota, I couldn't get past the tin holding the front loader locked and the stand and 3 point hitch setup. Very tipsy from what I seen, felt like a toy next to a 1025r. Long and narrow. Hate the pedal design, but like the all in one vs their split design. But hear very little problems with them though. Some front ball joint issues and leaks at the single connect loader, but hopefully figured that out by now. Doesn't lift much with loader, 3 point lifts though. Mahindra, they are well built, but the same with RK. They just don't seem fully developed to me. But all cast iron, reminded me of the old Internationals. Trying to check the oil wasn't fun, in odd area on side and hard to see. Was looking at the Max 26 XLT HST. Backhoe was rough to use, no cushioning. Feel like you are sitting on top of tractor. New Holland, just something I didn't like about it and wasn't impressed. The RK24, it was nice to see the extra features, but it felt clunky and not complete. Forward leaver for front loader, etc. I then looked at the 1025r, the sales guy was busy with another customer, threw me the keys and said go test what you want. The 1025r, loader is easy on and off and stand works on it's own as you take the loader off or put on. Wish it was a single connection for hydraulics, but wasn't available then, is now! OEM front third function is as well now! I like the JD quick attach better, lighter, easier to use with two pins. Watch TTWT for good comparison video. The universal are known to bind and get rough. Oil filter and dip stick are easy to get too along with filter, pre-filter. The 3 point hitch on JD is position control, it's not up or down, you can stop it where you want. Backhoe, has a step to help you get up on it and also locks for the outriggers so the don't leak and come out with a dent in the wall or car. Backhoe has side to side and back cushioning so it's not so rough. Can float the bucket on it like the front loader. Get the 16" hoe bucket! Start with it if you go this route! 12" is too small! Can get the 6" later for trenches from bxpanded.com if needed. Has extra work lights on side. Felt like you sat in the tractor instead of above it. Mid mower easy on off, don't leave dealer without them checking it though first as they are known to not adjust the autoconnect for some reason. When auto connect is working, game changer! Same for the Load-N-Go, can lift the deck up with the loader and sharpen blades, clean underneath deck, another game changer. Some complain about the gas gauge on side, I like it, easy to see from seat or backhoe seat! Some problems are the transmission. See a lot of transmission leak issues and covered under warranty. Air cleaners were breaking top of engine valve housing, but late 2018 and forward that is fixed. Some complain about front axle not being vented and causing seal leaks after hours of use, some just open the dip stick and relieve the pressure, but never experienced any issues here. 1025r loader can lift more than BX23S, but 3 point on Kubota lifts more. Little less tipsy, but still possible. Think RK and Mahindra win with power specs. JD open hood design is stupid, needing pen, key or something to push in the release. Sides come off easy with 1/4 turn thumb screws. I don't care what color the tractor is, just want it reliable, comfortable, make my life easier! Dad eventually ended up getting the Mahindra Max 26 XLT.
Hello (?), Thank you for your review and comparison, after seeing everything and hearing what you had to say I'm also impressed by the RK24 !
This is a better review than the last video I watched that guy had 5 different People talking about tractors and it was just common sense knowledge.
I like how you got into it thank you
That RK24 is EXACTLY the same as my Zetor M25. I believe they come off the same Korean assembly line. One thing the buyer should be aware of is that many bolts will need to be tightened. The lower portion of the 3-point bolts to the transmission cross bolts…mine had standard nuts, lock washers and flat washers….they came loose and trans fluid leaked. I solved the problem by replacing the nuts with nylocks and red loctite. Also, the fiber bushings that add friction to the throttle lever disintegrated, so I had to get in there and fix that as well. Last but not least, the bushings for the bucket tilt appear to have A LOT of slop. Not really sure if that is a big deal, but I would think it would be tighter at 50 hours. Zetor will bend you over $36 for an oil filter when you can find an equivalent Mann Filter W811/80 on amazon for $16ish. Other than that, the Zetor works great so far at 50hrs.
I was in a similar situation as you, while researching for a tractor, I wanted a subcompact with a backhoe, I checked JD, they were more than what I wanted to pay, I checked kubota, I didn't like the foot pedal and you can't get a 25 hp with a backhoe, I checked new holland workmaster 25s and found out that it is the same as a ls mt125 and when you take on and off the backhoe you have to take on and off the 3 point hitch and no skid steer quick attach for the loader, I was thinking RK but the dealer was about 90 minutes away, also I didn't like the joystick location for the loader, and the location of the fuel fill. My choice was a Massey Ferguson GC1725MB due to the value, joystick location, fuel fill location, skid steer quick attach, 25 hp with the backhoe, the 3 point hitch folds up behind the backhoe, and dealer location.
You can get a kabota 25 horse stick shift with a back hoe,no computer,no emission. It's a L 2501,got one works fine.
I went with the BX23S. Keep in mind the Kubota’s 23hp engine has more torque than the 25 hp Yanmar engine and is noticeably quieter. The Kubota hydraulics are much smoother and the loader can lift and curl at the same time compared to the JD plastic tractor. I didnt see an issue with the tredal pedal as my Ariens lawn mower is the same. I notice that pedal is helpful when going in reverse. It allows you to turn your body more to better see behind you. I have since bought the B2601 2 years ago. Wanted more ground clearance for 40 acres up north. The rubber mat doesnt move like that one
My wife an i are PLENTY happy with our 2017 Kubota BX23S. And ZERO issues! And you are right about the pedal. I dont get a kink in my neck since buying the BX23S.
I have a JD riding mower with side by side pedals they work fine because most of my mowing is forward. When I bought my kubota bx23s thought I would not like the toe heel configuration. But I'm old and stiff and would not be able to work the tractor safely backwards without that style of drive pedals. I thank God everytime I go backwards for the kubota pedal configuration.
Except they barely work at idle/ And that stupid treadle pedal sucks. compared to a two pedal JD system. Worked for a school district for 35 years. They bought four Bx's. Deck wheels broke off of two of them rear axle leaks on one. Been retired for twelve years now, ran into a co worker one day in Walmart. He said they got rid of all of them.
Thank you I like the honest opinion you have not sticking with big name $$$ but you have to think about service and parts for the future
I had a BX kubota with the treadle pedal and it drove me crazy, plus with the single hydraulic on the bucket I replaced the seals three times. I traded for a 1025R and have had zero problems in 7 years.
You should check out outdoors with the Morgans channel. They had three RK tractors for two years. And Mike named his RK 24 Sherman. And he used his tractor a lot.
RK25 for me. Does everything I need.
Great video! I've been looking at tractors and haven't been able to actually go look at them yet, so this was really helpful.
Bought an RK24 about six months ago. Works like a champ. I like the JD 1025r, but I couldn't see any reason to justify spending thousands more. There just wasn't an advantage to the John Deere. Sure they've been around a long time, but still a Yanmar engine, and TYM has been around a bit. RK has a longer warranty also, without paying for a longer one. You really can't go wrong with any of them. It's just dollars after all. Lol
I can’t believe anyones trading in a 50 hr tractor , the last 3 tracks I owned had well over 1000 hours when I upgraded to higher hp tractors (used) with 6/700hrs . If a tractor won’t go into thousands of Hours ( if) we’ll cared for some thing isn’t right . Diesels can go on and on . Yes the rk is well equipped and the price well ya can’t beat it
I went with a Mahindra max 22 and couldn't be happier. I like watching video's like this that compare but makes me even happier for my purchase since it ticks pretty much all the same boxes you were looking for. Though I will say it's VERY close to the RK. Looks like many of the parts are exactly the same though seems bigger wheels and a few minor quality upgrades on the Mahindra in comparison.
Kubota does build their own engines
I have a 1025r and I’m totally happy with it
I wanted the the drive over mower deck and it works great
Kubota dealer tried to talk me out of buying their driveover deck!
I'm trying to decide between JD 1023e & RK25 . A friend has a JD 1025r like new condition with 250 easy hours for $16k the 1023e has 12hrs. Like new for &14k & its a 2023 model. FEL and 54' mower. RK about 25____30 miles away the RK24 with loader is like 12-13k the RK25 with loader is 15999.00.the RK as you said comes with things the JD don't. I'm leaning toward the JD 1023e price,warranty, resale,dependable & and I think it will do all I need it to do here. But have to say the RK25 is really temping for Best bang for the buck,you know. Sure hope your choice will be easy for you ! I enjoyed your video here !
There are pluses and minuses for all brands. There's no free lunch; buy a no-name brand and you're rolling the dice on future support, compatibility, etc. Buy a big name brand and you're paying more for paint color. Go with what you feel most comfortable with. I can't get my mind to venture outside of the established brands, but there's no real reason for that, I just know myself.
The Rual King Looks nice.. I did like the bigger Tires for sure.... I have a JD 1025R and have had it for 5 years now. I have had No real problems with it. The hydraulic connections that you had concerns about for ground clearance I have had no problems or issues with. The only issue I have had with mine is the rubber strap for the Air Filter canister keeps breaking. I'm thinking it is due from the vibration of the motor that makes the strap rub against the Air Filter canister and it breaks are the metal hooks. I have had to replace it 3 times now. Also keep in mind who and where and how far you will need to go to get parts or to take it to get fixed too..?? So after having my 1025R for 5 years, I'm very happy with it and it works great for me! Good luck on your purchase!
Really been pleased with my RK 24!
I LOVE my MF 1020... but last May I opted to treat myself to more implements and went the RK24 route. I can honestly say, I have no regrets as of yet and I've been putting her through her paces. But I will say, I still think my 1997 MF 1020 is better built from a longevity perspective... and frankly looks more heavy-duty when I inspect the chassis.
I did not like the foot pedal setup on the Kubota I ended up buying the New Holland workmaster 25s extremely happy with it glad I did and it is a workhorse
Most of the things you said you like would be on a Massey Ferguson GC 1723 or 1725. Too bad there wasn't a dealer in your area. I wouldn't say the Massey is perfect but it does fit my bill.
Run a loader alot and you'll appreciate having the control off the arm rest.
I personally prefer the loader control upfront beside the steering wheel, I have never had an issue with my arm getting tired or anything with it. I understand the reasoning behind moving it to the fender to allow entry from both sides, but I also treat my tractor like a horse, motorcycle, forklift.... and always enter from the left side.
After a lot of checking I settled on a kiote, you get almost every option with the SE models. I liked most all the tractors but wen I compared them I feel kiote gave Me the biggest bang for the buck.
I've been following these RK Tractors and in 2018 i went and bought a J.d.3025e. I now kinda regret my decision. I'm now thinking about buying a RK 24. They are awesome from reviews I have seen. I think their a very reliable machine.
I highly recommend the RK tractors especially if your midwest and Eastern US. I live in WY and had to go get mine and parts are online only for me. I got a cab tractor and the 37 hp It is a work horse and the cab is great for hot 100º summers and the cold winter the heat is great too!!
For the size and price I could get the implements and attachments I wanted!!
Like you I did a lot of research I got the Massey Ferguson I don't think there's a better tractor out there on the market and I did a lot of research everything on this tractor is so convenient I got it in Alabama but I definitely wouldn't recommend the people I bought it from . I had thought about getting the compact tractor but for some reason I went with the subcompact and it has so far done everything I asked of it
I was looking to go Deere just because the dealer is close and there’s no RK inventory to even look at. A guy from church suggested Massey so I called that dealer and liked what I heard. Gotta go put eyes on one for myself tho to know for sure.
Mahindra makes the only non regen no dpf filter. They own the patent for 4 more years that’s why it’s the only tractor I would buy. When their patent runs out all the other brands will be using Mahindra technology.
Next week I will be ordering a Yanmar YT 235C with attachments a lot of standard options on Yanmar
than on the Kubota and the price is right! check the warranty out!
kubotas you get $500 to $2500 off any loader attachments wich thats a nice money saved plus $2500 to $4500 instant cash rebate
The RK25 was a easy sell for me and its a good tractor .
I've got the Branson 2505H which is essentially that same as that RK24. I love it. You can't go wrong for the price.
I was looking for one with the backhoe attachment but they're pretty proud of it.
My nearest RK dealer is over 100 miles away, I bet there is 50 Deere dealers in 100 miles. I got a John Deere 1025R last year, love that tractor. I need the small wheel base and narrow machine to do my landscaping jobs. You may want to look at a larger Deere model. I agree with you on the Kubota treadle pedal, I have used them and most difficult machine to operate. I know the John Deere will cost a little more, they have the best resale value, I do believe you get what you pay for. Good luck.
Did loader lift checks for these 3 tractors plus a yanmar. The New Holland easily beat the rest as it put up 1000lbs at 6 ft. I was shocked tbh. It prices out about 2-3K more than the RK and Yanmar's though with bucket and backhoe.
Them work masters work just as good!
Loyalty to any brand, tractor or otherwise is stupidity. Those companies care about one thing and one thing only, Profits. They don't see you, they see your $$$.
I bought a brand new Massey Ferguson GC1725M in August of 2020, I actually paid more for it than I would for KUBOTA or JOHN DEERE because I had employee discounts available to me for those two brands, and not for Massey Ferguson.
So why did I chose Massey? My considerations were (Massey Ferguson, Kubota, Kioti, John Deere, New Holland)
At the end of the day, after spending hours of my time doing research I realized that trying to figure out which is best between my considerations was waste of time and splitting hair because they are all so close.
So to me the deciding factor was that:
1. Spoke to two other local farmers who owned same machine and they were very happy with it, and dealership that sells Massey and Fendt here has phenomenal reputation as far as customer service and support, and they are 15 minutes away, they come out to your place to do any repairs they can so you don't have to haul the tractor to them, and their response is fast and turn around also very fast if you do need to drop off the machine. (I also got 10 year warranty with my Massey on tractor, pretty much bumper to bumper)
2. Our local John Deere is about same distance for me but has awful reputation as far as customer service, and they are known for not providing replacement machine while yours is getting repaired, my buddy does landscaping for a living and when one of his machines failed, he was without it for 3 weeks and John Deer did not provide another, and he depends on this for livelihood, I also had a employee discount through family AND I worked for John Deere, one of best jobs I ever had, before they closed the shop and moved it to Mexico, but that's another story.
3. KUBOTA is another brand I had a employee discount as my neighbour's son works for national KUBOTA office. However, they have dealerships so far apart that I'd have to drive about an hour to get there and because there are so few dealers, covering such vast area, I also heard that if you need your machine serviced you have to wait for weeks to get it back...
4. New Holland, again came down to a dealer being about 45 minutes away and didn't hear much about their service habits ...
5. Kioti, about 15 minutes away, and a dealer with good reputation for service and support however because it's a small dealership sometimes you have to wait for parts or service a little longer, though not as long as Kubota or John Deere, KIOTI was my second choice.
Conclusion:
All these machines are decent, talk to people in your area, ask questions, research the dealership and their service and willingness to help you when in need, they will all kiss your behind to sell you the equipment, but what counts is how they treat you after. You can't go wrong with any one of those machines, but you sure can with a choice of dealer you choose.
Good Luck !!!
Been considering a 1025R . Good video thanks for making it
Take a look at the Massey Ferguson's . I'm in the market for a 50 hp compact and am really impressed with the Massey's . Only thing that worries me about the RK is service and warranty . I have read some bad reviews about those issues with the RK's . Our local Rural King is in the old K-Mart building , don't think they could have much of a service shop but who knows . Ya might end up on your own .
are you from cambridge?
I bought a John Deere 1025R last summer and love it. Their backhoe comes with it's own seat so you don't have to turn the tractors seat around so that is a plus. I think their front loader detaches easier and if you want a belly mower it's auto connect is the best. I agree, it's a little more money but you get what you pay for and nothing runs like a Deere. And like someone else said, it's made in the USA. Be part of the club, buy a JD and we will teach you the secret hand shake once Covid is over......lol. BTW - Zero % financing helps too.
Wrong, alot of the deere implements are MADE IN MEXICO! Deere doesn`t make their own brand of engines either. But if you wanna pay more, buy the deere.
I have the Tym-254 which is pretty much the same tractor as rk-24, but The current model of rk-24 has the third function valve on front and rear remotes that mine didn't come with... No Rk-stores near me either (like 1000+ miles away)... I looked at a few brands and where i live i have all types of dealers to choose from,,,, I would buy a rk-24 any day
We've had our 1025r 1.5 yr and happy with it. got it packaged w loader and backhoe. Yes those low hanging connections can come unconnected when operating in heavy brush. Have never been damaged but is a bit irritating when you go to use the bucket and have to reconnect a coupling. The little danglers are best stowed in the tool box lest they get jerked off. Really do like the two set arrangement on the backhoe. That treadle pedal would drive me to distraction( yeah that was one of the deal breakers for me). The main reason we went with the JD was they've been around a day or two and facilities are plentiful in our area. The attachments are robust. Lastly don't let the "plastic" hood throw you, I've dropped some things on it and it doesn't break or dent .
🤠 my New Holland needs a little rubba rubba under the dash to get going 🐎
Good pointers.
Kubota charges around 500 for skid steer quick attachment. I don't own one but I've been looking for over a year. Soon I will pull the trigger.
The one thing with the “name brands” is for instance the John Deere if you take care of it they really hold their value! And my father has an old John Deere A I believe it’s a 1953 and if he needs something for it he goes to cazenovia tractor our local Deere dealer and gets or prospers to get the parts...so he can go to a dealer and get parts for a nearly 70yr old tractor...so for company’s like Deere they’ve been around forever and parts are always available...can’t say the same for half these new sub compact tractors out now...years down the road you might not be able to get parts! Then what?
RK is a TYM built tractor. They will have parts available for a long long time.
It’s all about dealer service and parts availability.
the ram truck get a programmer and bypass all your smog devices. it still will pass smog and the improvement is awesome fuel mileage performance my duramax get 26 to 28 on open road and it a 3500 long bed 4 door, towing a 30 camper 19 to 22, mtns 16 to 18
Your little tractor doesn't have a leak, its making its territory.
Good details on the walk around..
you need to drive them all. I will say that the Kubota has one of the best loader control valve for performing multiple functions at the same time. I have a 15 year old BX series Kubota and it has over 1,400 hours on it. always works. I found that when spending time sideways in the seat backing up, the treadle peddle is much nicer. I can sit sideways and use my heal very comfortably to reverse.
Also, Kubota manufactures all of its components including engines. But you need to see what fits for you.
Ground clearance is the problem with mini scuts for me. They need drop axles and bigger tires. I use my scut(shibaura sx24) to mow grass but for gardening and ground work. I always go back to my old simplicity 9020(allis 720) it’s just more tractor then these new ones.
If there is a Branson dealer by you check them out I used one the other day and didn’t hate it
I have a 3 year old kubota l3901 hydrostat. I would not let DEF determine what tractor i buy. It does auto regen..... so if you are working and it flashes at you.... you just make sure and increase throttle to at least 2200 rpm and it does its thing while you do yours. If it is idling and you dont get it sped up it will eventually require you to park regenerate it. And that takes less than 10 minutes. If you used the hydrostatic foot pedal for about 1 day you would never want any other style. Just my opinion
I'm shopping for subcompacts also. I've narrowed it down to the Mahindra and Kioti. RK would not sell me a tractor because the nearest store is so far away. I'm leaning towards the Kioti because I have a dealer 3 miles away and I just like the tractor better....metal fenders and the joystick on the fender included. The problem with the Kioti is that tractor delivery would be in July (at least 3 months out.)
Kubota is basically a Toyota tractor. Parts inside are made by Denso... the same supplier Toyota has always used. Mitsub0shi belts are on Kubota.. same supplier as Toyota. The Korean tractors may offer more upfront but the quality is not the same as a Japanese supplier
KUBOTA since 2018 or so is not the KUBOTA people know from years past, my neighbour works for Kubota national office and admits, older machines were better quality as Kubota did a major shift to be more competitive in sales. Now days reputation of dealer you are dealing with is more valuable than brand, as long as you're sticking to the 5 major sub compact brands... Massey ferguson, Kubota, John Deere, New Holland, Kioti.
@@googlreviews7813 mmm.. my 2021 bx23s has Denso parts inside of it
@@personalfunfest
Toyota owns Denso, ofcourse they will put Denso parts in their cars lol.
Like I said, any of the main five makes are great tractors, I got 10 gears warranty with mine but these machines change from year to year like anything else, I know in recent years Kubita cut cost on hydraulic systems, especially cylinders which they had issues with leaking with. At the end of the day, every machine will be great when new, but once you will need assistance you ha e to deal with people and dealerships, not logos on the front of your tractor, that's why for me, any of those 5 brands is good, you'll be splitting hair trying to figure out which is better, so it really comes down to customer service, and turnaround.
Massey/Fendt provides replacement tractors if yours breaks and u der warranty, in my case that's 10 years. I know locally only they do that. So again, co es dien to dealership and their approach to customers, not brand.
Cheers!
I have a RK55 and I dont have to stop or park it while the regen is on I keep working
RK 24 with FEL and pull behind 60 inch finish. mower, 48 inch tiller. 300 hours on it. only issue so far was the pro switch broke. I would look at the TYM version of the RK24. you will get a better service department.
I don't know if you bought one yet or not, but i just picked up an RK25 -- its bigger chassis than the 24, same motor, bit more weight. its fantastic
You get alot of bang for the extra 1k bucks from the 24 to the 25 , I got the rk25 myself !
Take a look at Kioti, I have 220 hrs on a ck4010 and it has been a great tractor
Kubota makes their own diesel engines but other sub-compact brands tend to use either Yanmar or Daedong.
Great video. To the point and informative with the annoying music so many people add to the videos I did the same thing and went with Kubota. You settled on the New Holland and that is a fine tractor It was at the top of my list as well. I actually went with a 40 hp with dpf , hated it and could not take it. I just traded it in for a 26hp model LX2610SU. I’m waiting on delivery. Again , great video 👍
check out tym 264. a little larger 25 hp. tractor and very capable. also kioti looks very good.
Go by the best and closest dealer....My JD dealer is a mile away from me (2012 1026r TLB MMM) If you mow , the drive over deck is great.
I echo that sentiment about dealers. I looked at JD, Kubota, Massey and New Holland for full sized tractors. I'm pretty sure I would have been happy with any of them, but the Kubota dealer has 3 stores closer to me than any of the others. Same analysis for the sub-compact I had to get when my wife didn't find it funny that I mowed the lawn with a 15' brush hog.
if you like your new holland ls tractor is who makes new holland last year they came out with a mt 2 25s has three speed hydro quick attach bucket about the size of a john deere 2025r I bought a 2018 1025r if the ls was out back then I would have bought the ls mt2 25s price with loader is around $15000 new
i have an 87 yanmar 226d, obviously no emissions which i like.
If you run out of def the engine will cut out but in case of emergency when running low you can use water till you can filler with def
When you said you were shopping for smaller tractors, you looked at4 different manufacturers and never once mentioned price’s I think your video was great too bad you left out the most important thing, the different price tag for each tractor, but thank you for your. Input. Rick
Watched your video and I think your looking at to small of frame size tractor . I own 3025e perfect frame size frame for brushing, tilling, grading and moving dirt. And it's only 25 hp not emissions.I wish I had a mid PTO for snowblowing. A 2 series would be ok . Good luck with your shopping
I have a mahindra max24 and I'm looking at the Branson 15 series. I got a quote on a 4815C with rear remotes installed grapple and 3rd function installed and hay spike for a really good price. The 15 series will get you machine weight of 3014 bare add loader gains another 800lbs. Lift to full height at the pins is 2200lbs. 3pt is like 3600, 29xx at 24 inches out. The 25hp dosen't have any emissions 30hp up dose but it a very simple emission system than can be fixed easily if problems occur and the engines are all mechanical. That's what I'm looking at.
seen that in a video, looks like a great machine
RK is coming out with a larger RK 25 this Spring. Larger than the 24 but smaller than the 37
Yep, supposed to be here within the next 90 days, along with a significant price increase across the entire RK lineup.
@@4-LOW and ranger6x6 Do either of you know where I may find more information about this RK25? I'm betting that it's Rural King's version of the TYM T25. (An updated version of the T264.) I'm anxious to learn more about the RK25/T25.
Ya pay for the green, and you pay for the orange.
I’ve got a bx 23s and I hate that reverse pedal if I use it all day it gives me leg cramps
Hinomoto HM255 great tractor
Great info, thanks!
I have a TC29, 2100 hours with no problems. Been thinking about a new tractor, but mine has been so good, I don't know if I want to trade.
Bobcat tractors are proprietary you definitely want to check out.solis
Mahindra has no regen below 60hp. Mahindra, TYM, RK, and Branson share a lot of parts if you compare. I ended up with Mahindra 2638 for loader lift capacity and side by side forward and reverse pedals. I would have gotten a RK but they are 3 hours from me, the Mahindra dealer is 10 minutes away.
Thanks, nice ,informative video !
I would take that 2 year old Kubota all day long over the Rural King it will pay you in the long run 👌
Très belle vidéo
Très beau tracteur et très bien équipé
Dommage qu'il n'y en ait pas en France, j'aimerais bien l'essayer et très certainement en acheter un.
J'adore
According to my research the 2025r stacks up closer to the rk24 as far as the specs go. Big price difference my choice so far would be the rk based on price, but I don't have a dealer near me.
i like the hydro side by side pedals better than the kubota
"Bad Boy" is getting into tractors this summer.
They are made by TYM and the RK are also.
@@andrewanderson1436 - well then they will be decent.. i would rather them stick with a design that has been used for a while rather than invent and make us their Guinee pigs
With the amount of money you've saved on that tractor, I'd just fix it rather than buy a less powerful new one. You've admitted you've already gotten the hard work done so, this one will get the rest of your work done just fine.
My 2660 kubota won't handle a 5. Foot blade. You can put fluid in all 4 tires it helps.
john deere 2025 will work for you i have one and love it
Look at a 2025R John Deere instead of the 1025R. Same engine and loader with bigger frame and tires.
