Anybody seeing prices on their site this morning?

Yes. There are prices. I've never NOT seen prices on their website.

Went to the one in Winchester today. First one Ive been to. Not well lit, orderly or clean. But the prices were a lot better than TSC. Shame its 70 miles from me.

If you're looking for cleanliness, good lighting, well organized shelfs, etc, RK isn't for you. If you're looking for a great selection of "stuff" that almost all TBNers will like at good prices then it's the type store you will love. Give yourself plenty of time. It's a great place to browse/meander. A veritable candy store for TBN wired people.

I have never been in a Rural King but I have looked at their website. They defiantly have my kind of stuff. I would like to take a look at the RK tractors as well. They built one about an hour from me. I plan to visit soon.

Road trip a few times a year and mail order in between. Find a nice place for lunch and make a day of it.

 

[Diggin It]

Mine's as 'nice' as any other store.

Free popcorn makes for a leisurely stroll through the store, too. :licking:

They are similar to TSC stores in my area, with some being clean, bright, and well stocked. Others are a mess with merchandise out of place, isles blocked, and many lights out. Depends on the managers I suspect.

TSC's have dark lots at night..ALL of them (we have 3 surrounding us and all are the same). Smaller than our RK (in a former sears in a mall) but that makes it MUCH easier to get in/out.

RK is cheaper, I like their chicken feed better than TSC. I like the tools/tractor parts at TSC better, implements..maybe RK wins a close race.

Emplyee help and knowledge? TSC hands down.
need to order something? Again, tsc hands down.

Need a gun? RK. THey also have a larger selection of chickens/turkeys..but again, customer service isn't good on them.

Got t-posts this time at RK, 10c cheaper than TSC, and needed scratch grains. t-posts used to be IN the store..so I walk dragging a stupid cart (caster wheels on wrong end) through a crowded store with narrow aisles to find NONE...had to go to the register and ask, pay, then go outside and drive to get them...at our RK outside is around the other side of the building..sears had multiple entrances but RK has only the one...pita.

Went to some 'farm' store in mid-ohio - it was much nicer and as cheap as RK. Can't recall the name, never saw them before.

Big R maybe? One in Lima and another in Findlay.

Too much wattage for my use, but might be great for some of you who need area lighting.

Anybody need a Quick Hitch?

I noticed RK has dropped King Kutter brand in favor of their new red RK line of implements and attachments. I assume that is to match their tractors now. I was looking for an average quality rotary cutter for someone, but their new line doesn't look as well built as KK to me. The one rotary cutter had a couple scrapes across the top, each of them 2" wide and a foot long, down to bare metal and fully rusted. These were just delivered and not even priced yet. I wonder who is making them for RK.

They're "RK by KingKutter". They're still made by KK. They're just painted red and have RK stickers on them.

That's good. I didn't recognize the models they had, but I haven't shopped KK for awhile. I'll have to take another look at them - Thanks.
