    Bale moving RK37

    I bought the RK 37 and have no problem with 4x5 or 5x6' bales. I purchase 4x5 bales regularly and help my neighbor with their 5x6 bales and can lift and stack them 2 high. These bales range in weight from 900 to 1250 lbs,, no problems.

    Chain hooks and tooth bar for RK37 bucket?

    Just got an RK37 and was looking around my shop when I noticed I had 2 of the Ken's bolt on hooks. I had bought a set of 3 for a previous tractor but could only put one on the bucket. I placed these just outside the lift arms as there isn't really a place to them right in front due to the skid...

    Grading Compatible Rear Blades for the RK24

    The above comments are correct. I would suggest looking at anyone who has a SCUT in your area and see what they are using. Also look at craigs list and facebook market place, you can buy a decent used blade fairly cheap and try it. Youtube also has a ton of videos on SCUT using scraper blades...

    Just picked up my new RK37

    First thing I did was clean a pasture and spread manure,, managed to track a good bit into the cab and flung a wee bit of manure all over the tractor! She is dusty, dirty and the tires are filled with mud. Thought I'd have use the 4x4 in a muddy field, but she walked right through just fine...

    Just ordered a new RK 37

    I had seen the info on the FEL level issue and had that on my LS MT125 and it was just a small adjustment on the fel frame to make it right. if it is off, I will have them correct before I accept. I did read that about the lights for the glow plug,, one would think they would fix that as it is...

    Just ordered a new RK 37

    Yes indeed, thought I would do all that just prior to turning the key for the first time at the dealership. I downloaded the owner's manual, I hope the printed version is more detailed,, but not holding my breather.

    Thanks all, the stats listed above are correct for the MT 125 tractor. As to the terrain it is mostly flat, just a gentle slope or two. As to the manure will be spreading horse manure with shavings, not straw or the like. I compost the manure in a pile currently but would build at least two...
