Here it is.

Well here is my new tractor.
I took the advice here and removed the FEL to mow and of course you can't mow with the backhoe on so I removed that too.
I mowed with it Thursday and noticed that there were streaks on the grass. I had noticed that one side seemed a little lower
than the other but thought maybe it was on uneven ground. When finished it just didn't look right as my old tractor didn't
leave streaks like what I had. I looked over the MMM owners manual and it was basically just on how to install a MMM IF none
had ever been put on before. Not 1 word about adjustments of cut of any type. Not to mention how to remove the MMM
for when I want to use the BH without the mower attached. But being one not to give up I set out to find the
problem. Both the lifting arms had threads and a nut tightened all the way on both sides of the deck. But the deck still didn't look level.
So long story short I backed off the left side nut about .750" from full tight and then the deck look much more level.
I re-mowed the yard today and it looked much better.

I had checked a lot of fittings after receiving the unit and all were pretty tight only a few could I turn a fraction more.
I found no leaking fittings so far. Of course some leaks out when you remove the fitting when removing implements.

So here it is. It pulled my 2000lbs + roller (filled with cement) with no trouble at all. Went places I had never been to because I was afraid I
would get stuck with the old gas lawn tractor. Not anymore!

Don't always roll lawn but, never remove loader - use it to carry sticks, limbs, other lawn debris. Also use it to fetch fill from dirt pile if I encounter a "pothole"

Looks like a suspended deck RK maybe similar or the video maybe worthless to you.

Everyone should have one of these for leveling the mower deck.

RK is Rural King recent entry to tractor market, I prefer more established brands myself. RK's look like good value will know more in 10 years.

I love my RK24. Can I ask why you removed the top of your ROPS?

Sure you can ask.

1. It wouldn't fit in my enclosed trailer when I picked it up so it came off then.
2. It won't fit in my shed which has a 7' door on it.
3. My yard is fairly flat (other then the bumpy ground - that's why I roll it) so I'm not worried about
tipping the unit over.

I was on the Kobota site before I made the final decision to get the RK 24, and they showed how many of their models
were garage friendly with the ROPS up. Not sure why they had to make the RK units so tall. Was there NO WAY to make
it safe with a shorter ROPS and still be safe?

Like you I also bought the canopy and I'm considering cutting down the ROPS so I can use the canopy and get in my shed.
I have to put the ROPS on with the canopy to see how much I would need to lower it before I make a final decision.
I know some may say how unsafe that would be and void my warranty etc. but if I don't, I'll have a useless piece of expensive plastic
sitting around doing nothing except taking up space.

I bought the canopy for sun protection as we all know how dangerous UV rays are, so it thought it would be worth it to have one.
