DonRybak, the answer is No, I did not get the issue corrected. When they did the 50 hr. service the tech guy didn't really address the unlevel bucket issue. I had a borrowed trailer and had to get the tractor back home and it wasn't addressed that day. Time was a factor. The service guy said...

I bought a 2538 hst about 7yrs. ago, and selected a Mahindra tractor because at the time they were about the only dealer that offered compact tractor without dpf exhaust and regen system. However, at the time the dealer told me to run the tractor at least 1800 - 2000 rpm to keep the exhaust...

I have a six foot cutter looks very much like yours. It is an "International World Agritech Corp." cutter that was made in Bethel Ohio. Company has sold out years ago according to my research when I was looking for specific info on adjusting the slip clutch. They made them with shear bolt and...

I recently stripped all the old wood off a three point "carry all" in order to redo it. I hadn't used it in years, but recently acquired a 25 hp tractor for mowing and have no specific use for it in fall and winter. The plan is to refit the carry all to sit behind the little RK25 during the...

Thought I would post an update. I've been mowing all summer with the RK25 using a Coroni brand 6 foot finishing mower (side discharge). It's an old mower, about 35 yrs old, but it's been a good one and still going strong. I just wanted to say the RK25 does a great job with the 6 foot mower. I...

Thought I'd give an update to my situation. Been talking to RK shop mechanic, he said unlevel bucket is easy fix, and did mention loosening various loader frame bolts as part of the process. I'll be taking the tractor to RK for 50 hr. service in about 2 months, and he said they would take care...

I had exact same situation when I recently purchased an RK25 and tried to use my Titan brand forks. Just wouldn't fit. I checked around and to my surprise all SSQA are not exactly to same standard. Some are slightly different. I had to grind about 3/8 inch more room in the receiving holes of the...

The bucket on my rk25 is not level, never has been since delivered. I have talked to the local store tractor guy but he can't tell me what they can do about it, just that it would be addressed at the 50 hr service. Anyone have same problem and able to get it corrected? If so what was done to...

Well, I received the step and have installed it and it is sturdy and fills my needs in every way. I weigh just a tad over 300 lbs. and it does a fine job for me. I am not computer savvy enough to put pictures on here but if anyone wants a picture of it mounted on the tractor I can email it...

Thank you medic3720. I believe that step is just what I need, one on order already. Thanks again

Hello all. I have an rk25, I'm old, getting older and stepping up into tractor a stretch for me. Looking for a step or to fabricate one. Cannot use the floor of operator station for mounting one since it is plastic (fiberglass, polycarbonate ??) On left side of tractor at bottom of loader frame...

I just went through same thing last fall when I cleaned up my Mahindra 2538. I worked it quite a bit this past year and it had copious amounts of grease at the loader pins. Tried a few things but had some old Kerosene, put that in a spray bottle and that worked magic sprayed on paper towel and...

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I have a little grinding to do this week. At least it's not a lot to remove, about 1/2 inch each side. It's good to know that fix has already been tried with no problems. The access to similar experiences and solutions to problems when they arise makes for...

I recently purchased an RK25 and today attempted to install my Titan brand pallet forks that I've used for years on my Mahindra 2538. To my surprise they wouldn't attach as either (1) the mounting slots to receive the pins on the forks is about an inch too wide or (2) the location of the pins...

Ok, thought I'd post this follow-up. I talked to RK service guy at Owensboro, ky RK about Hydraulic fluid level being over the sight glass. He said tractor comes that way from distribution center with fluid level above the sight glass to provide oil for implements that may be used on the...

You know I did see that language about checking the fluid 5 minutes after shutting engine down but I thought that was to allow all the fluid to drain down. I didn't think the fluid would be cold after just 5 minutes. I wouldn't think the store would let it get delivered overfilled if it would...

Thank you for responding Ferling. Manual says nothing about hot or cold, just to check level in sight glass when tractor on level ground. my situation is that it's over filled so fluid level above sight glass.

Hello all. Recently purchased an rk25 to garden and mow yard with six foot finishing mower. If anyone wonders whether it will do the job I have tested it with my six foot mower in tall grass and can say it has no problem, in case anyone else considering the rk25 for same task. Two questions...

Thank you for your response, it is very helpful. If you've been pulling a 5 foot finishing mower "without even knowing that its behind me", then I'm certain I won't have any problem with the 6 foot. I've been using the same 6 foot Coroni brand mower for about 32 years now, I can't wear it out...

Thinking about purchase of an rk25 to use for mowing with a three point six foot finishing mower to replace my old 9n ford. Does anyone use a 6 foot finishing mower behind their rk24 or rk25, and what is your assessment? Does it have acceptable power to get the job done? I'm talking about...

Hello all. I have a 2538 hst. Recently noticed the tie rod end rubber boot was torn (left side as sitting on tractor) I have purchased the boot ($ 24 for a 25 cent piece of rubber) but not sure about changing it. Need help on how to go about changing the boot. It's obvious the tie rod will have...

I have a 2538 HST, which is a hydro unit, and have a few questions for those in the know. Tractor has been a pleasure to use. 1) Will be changing hydraulic fluid and filters before too long. Besides the regular filter, there is a metal strainer on right side by the axle that is supposed to be...

I have a 2538 hst that has been very reliable and a joy to use. The other day I could not get it out of 4 wheel drive. It has been somewhat difficult to push the 4 wheel adjustment lever back down, had to find just the right spot by going forward / backward. But worked with it for about 20...

I'm looking at a Kioti LB1914 for possible purchase, would be used to pull 6 foot finishing mower and some gardening work, but not a 3 pt tiller. Anyone have experience with this tractor I would appreciate some info. Any well established faults with this model? Also, has anyone ever used a 6...

Looking at purchasing the RK24 to replace an old 9n been using for last 30 years to pull a six foot finishing mower to mow the lawn and associated areas I keep trimmed (about 3.5 acres). Does anyone have experience using the RK24 to run a 6 foot finishing mower? If so does it do the job alright...

New 2538 owner here with a question regarding using ken's bolt on bucket hooks. I ordered the combo hook / clevis sets before took delivery of the tractor. Now I see the top of the bucket is too tight for them to fit as designed. If any 2538 owners use the ken's bolt on hook with a clevis, how...
