The SSQA is a recent addition (2019). The older RK24 had a pin-on bucket like most subcompacts.
Thanks

Can稚 be an honest opinion when he has been given all that equipment to play on. More like paid advertisements. Conflict of interest.
Absolutely....free stuff is not gonna be there if you bash the hand that feeds you, no matter how much denial.
I look for the few OWNERS who put down their own money, and can then honestly evaluate the product. Pandering for handouts seems to be the trend on YouTube now, and there are "sponsored" channels everywhere, and few non-sponsored reviews anymore, because it's so expensive to run a channel with quality video and audio, with all the time it takes to edit the videos to post. Forums like this are better places to get HONEST owner comments, to me.
It's good that we have Outdoors with the Morgans because it offers an opportunity to see the equipment in real use. Mike has been completely honest about his relationship with RK Tractor and it would be a stretch to suggest that he is being dishonest simply because he is provided with the equipment. He has said several times that he would report problems if he had any, but that there simply hasn't been anything to report. One guy can only rack up so many hours on three machines. I don't see a reason to complain about his channel. Mike is about as straight a shooter as you will find. He shouldn't be your only data point when considering the RK tractors because he is only one operator and other view points are readily available. Most owners will never have a problem with their tractor so you need a large cross section to learn what issues might arise. Clearly, one operator, regardless of how honest they are, is not a cross section.
The reason you see so many "sponsored" YouTube channels these days is that since the Google takeover of YouTube the ad revenue that is fed back to the creators has been steadily decreased to a fraction of what used to reach them and what is there is now targeted to the channels that YouTube wants to promote. The only way many channels survive is through some commercial arrangement, whether that is simply supplying equipment or supplies, or if it is a situation with direct funding. Otherwise they either can't afford the production costs or their output ends up being too stale to draw viewers.
Well Said !Okay.... lol! So someone gives you a loan for $50,000 and you eventually give them back $25,000. Is that a loan?
In other words get new Equipment worth $50,000 and use it for 5 years and give it back with its value at half.
My point is he is basically doing paid advertising. If he bad mouthed the Equipment I bet you big that RK would come collect their toys and head home. (0:
Great for he and Rural King. Just be aware his views can稚 be unbiased like the OP痴 who purchased his machine with his own money. There痴 a lot of questionable product reviews on YouTube.
