I did. And it worked!!! Thanks Stikky

Got my RK 55 finally. I had the dealer install the third function valve, but in doing so, my “curl” and “dump” functions for the loader are hooked up backwards. (Curl=right stick Dump=left stick) my question is, can I reverse the functionality by swapping the quick connect couplings under the...

UPDATE After calling around yesterday to local used tractor dealerships and having them tell me “we don’t do that, why not just buy a tractor from us” I talked to the sales guy at RK. He suggested it might be because it’s a tym tractor that’s been re-branded. Called them back and explained, and...

You hit the nail on the head

My bad. Admins, go ahead and delete this mistaken thread

Looking into buying a brand new tractor, trying to go through a local credit union for a better interest rate (and to keep money local). My local CU makes loans for farm equipment regularly, but the system they use to determine the value of the tractor doesn’t have This brand of tractors in it...

Looking into buying an RK55, trying to go through a local credit union for a better interest rate (and to keep money local). My local CU makes loans for farm equipment regularly, but the system they use to determine the value of the tractor doesn’t have RK tractors in it. So they are telling me...

I have an idea for an invention. Ever heard of a Quintain? Its a shield mounted on a post that swivels with a counter weight sandbag. Horse mounted jousters used it for practice. If they were not careful, they would get whacked with the sandbag. Same concept, except the counterweight is a bucket...

Okay, I could use some advice here. I have a coworker that raises livestock and does 4H stuff. Her daughter raised some lambs this year and was asking if anyone wanted to buy one. She was very firm on a 2.42 per lb on the hoof price. Plus 90 bucks to butcher. The lamb was 124 lbs and she said it...

So I finally got a chance to take some vacation and go home and take care of this. Really pleased with the amount and quality of wood I got. I didn't have time to do all the logs, but the saw mill guy said if I kept them tarped they might still be able to get milled for another year or so. But...

The mention of wedding pictures reminded me of a situation that might add something interesting to the conversation. Some friends of ours got married down in Gatlinburg TN, which I understand is the #2 destination wedding spot after Vegas. Beautiful country down there, and weddings are big...

Got a question. Recently had a company put a pipeline through our undeveloped land. The land is almost entirely forest, so this required the cutting of a large amount of trees. We have a pretty large pile of logs out there, right off of the pipeline easement. Before winter set in, while we were...

Alright this a weird one. I have been waiting to post this story until my mother in law sent the picture of the thing they found. We have a piece of land in south eastern Ohio that we are planning to build on once I leave the military. The in-laws own and live on the parcel adjacent to ours...

Hey people, I am in the process of building this workbench How to Build a Workbench: Super Simple $50 Bench | The Family Handyman While I was building it, I had an idea to attach a thinner piece of plywood to the bottom of the 2x4 frame of the benchtop, and then attach the actual bench top to...

Recently an energy company put an interstate natural gas pipeline across my land. During the construction and laying of the pipeline they came across another intersecting pipeline already in the ground that is not on any books and seems to be abandoned. The land is pretty heavily forested...
