I’m loving the new tractor and trying to get adjusted to everything.

Awesome looking machine!!! I considered the rk55 strongly, but ultimately decided to go with Kubota MX5800 since I didn't really want a cab for my uses. My dad will likely be buying exactly what you have soon though.

She's a beaut! Gunny - did you ever get any resolution regarding your unlevel loader issue?

That's a really fantastic machine. One suggestion, seeing that it has a grapple. Consider doing something like I have had done to my OEM grill guard. I had a local welding shop attach the expanded metal to my OEM guard.

I would agree. Plan on doing something just like that on mine.

Still very clean!
I got mine a little dusty last week (we are having a minor drought here in the metro-DC area). After major tree work, here I am testing the limits of the grapple, loader, tractor, and pucker (16" thick live white oak over 6ft in some places). VERY slow and VERY deliberate, but moved it 1/4 mile from where it was.
Up to 47 hours - preparing to do 50hr maintenance in the next week.

Hey Markie, I’m at 47 hours right now, how hard was the 50 hour service?

It's been so dry here that we haven't mowed since I last posted, soooo...have not yet done the service yet. If I can, I'd like to document it like someone else did for the RK24.

Yeah maybe I’ll do the same. I haven’t done it yet. Got the stuff to get it done. Just been lazy.
