Just ordered my RK-55!

[DonRybak]

Welcome to TBN. Great site with great members. There is a parts listing on RKTractors.com for each model. Only thing that's not user friendly is you can only look up the part numbers. Unless things have changed recently you can't place an order on-line...... Hope you enjoy your RK55 as much as I do my RK37.

I did purchase the grapple with my 55. Great for picking up logs and moving piles of brush.

I have 55H, also w/ grapple. You never know how much you'll use it until you have one. I rarely take it off

So tell me, are you still loving it? That's the size I'm looking for, and I have people telling me to stay the **** away from the RK. "Lets talk to a real owner" I say.

So to be fair the RK is actually a TYM except they have the Yanmar engine.

The issue with RK has typically been lack of decent service for the machine. RK has had real issues keeping a tractor mechanic employed in the past.

In such a case, just buying the TYM branded unit would be a better choice

It is literally a T554. If you really like Yanmar engines, there you go.

Here's where the manuals are:

Search for T554.

The problem is that the Yanmar engine gives you the same disadvantage the other mfgs have. The electronic brain that talks to the emissions DPF can cause problems. My advice is to make sure you run up over 2100 rpm most of the time.
