The BRAND is going to have very little to do with the quality of the service that you get.
The seller or dealership is going to be the factor on quality of service.
Also, something to think about when you have a routine service done to a tractor it is the same as having it done to your car or truck.
You will NOT get the most experienced and best mechanic in the shop doing your oil change and lube job.
You WILL get the greenest most inexperienced junior man in the shop, if you are lucky someone may check over his work.

My experiences with their stores is a big part of the reason I bought elsewhere.

It has been many years since I have darkened the door of an RK store. We had one fairly close by when I was a much younger man. Back then the prices were good and the staff knowledgeable. My career took me a long way from there so I have no experience with them that would be relevant, only fond memories.

Too sad and too true.

Dig... you totally took out of context what I was trying to write. I made my decision based on the research that I did on the tractor. The 鍍wo men helped me come to that decision and I think if you knew those 鍍wo men you would take them at their word as well... They aren稚 the type you are referring too.

I read Doug's posts here. He was exactly as I described. Abrasive and clearly toeing the company line of 'our's is best no matter what and we always have the best prices too', even after I showed him they didn't. And then he either got canned or walked off in a huff without so much as a 'Toodles TBN!!'

The guy on the Tube is a paid mouthpiece for whoever he's hawking at the moment. Ever hear of Ron Popiel? Same schtick.

Mike here "the paid mouth piece from youtube" couple things, I read a good quote once that I remembered when I read your comment about me. Albert Einstein said "whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters" Thats you, Im not and never was paid by RK Tractors, and I never tried to sell anyone anything. I couldn't care less what someone buys. All I did was run their tractors hard for two years on my property made videos and got a crap ton of stuff done in the process. I was honest about the relationship, honest about the tractors, (they served me well) and now Im moving on to try something else. Thats pretty much it.

I watched your video describing ending your business relationship with RK and it seemed very honest and well thought out. Good luck to you in your future adventures. :thumbsup:

OH, but you forgot to mention the minutes' long infomercial about your tractor that any watcher if forced to watch...well not really because we just dump you from the watch list.

Ya because no one wants to watch an infomercial on anything a youtube producer hawk one's wares. I know a lot of people and we're all in the same boat. Once a youtuber starts being a corporate shill for anyone or anything they get deleted from the watch list.

If we wanted to be preached to we watch Billy Grahm. If we want to watch an infomercial we'll watch QVC.

I went through a youtube purge dumping all the YouTubers that are a carnival barker for products they get fro free.

" HEY LOOK AT ME I GET FREE STUFF AND YOU SUCKERS WATCHING ME DIDN"T GET FREE STUFF" No thank you!

I love the classic "free stuff" comments they crack me up, I even mentioned it the other day in my video. These types of comments come from jealous hateful types who try their best to justify in their mind why they hate someone, carnival barker as you say, corporate shill all sorts of stuff but it always comes down to "free stuff" they just can't help themselves and have to just blurt it out. The "free stuff" comments are simply jealous of others success for some reason but more importantly completely and utterly oblivious to so many things. For example there is nothing "free" I work a full time job and another second full time job which is YouTube. I work well over a 100 hours a week with everything I do, not complaining because I enjoy it, and it pays off. As a matter of fact it is now 3:50am and Im going to start editing a video, should finish by 6:00am with the entire process then go to my real job, I will get home from there around 5pm, then do more work here on the property, shoot another video and be doing the same thing tomorrow morning at 4:00am.

What is really amazing to me though is how different people can be, how overwhelmingly kind, and nice some people are who are genuinely happy for others. I see it in hundreds of comments on our channel daily, in emails, FB messages, and in person when we meet people that watch our channel. Just great, wonderful loving souls that want everyone to do well. Just good people, then you have the 2 percenters, its actually about 1.5 percent but I rounded up. You Cat Driver are a 2 percenter! The hater, the Troll, the one that doesn't like when good things happen to others that work hard. Anyway thanks for showing your true colors and good luck 2 percenter, I need to go to work!

I would say to ignore the haters/trolls and whatever but I know sometimes it's impossible Mike. The first guy you quoted, has some sort of issue with any videos, links or anything that one posts in this forum. I don't even know how survives on the internet. No matter what the content is on your videos, people always find something to complain.

Keep doing what you've been doing. You've been doing great! I've watched since your first video on the RK tractors and I've been enjoying the journey very much.

Looking forward for you next tractor content. :thumbsup:
