My first leak at 21hrs

The leaks arent that big of a deal. I wasnt thrilled at first, but the tractor still does what I need it to do..mow 6 acres of grass once a month in the summer. And push snow in the winter. Granted I did easily pay $12000 less for this RK, over a kubota. Sure the jap tractor is a beauty. I took a test drive and looked at them, heck yes I would have loved to have one. Plan one getting the leaks addressed after the mowing is done.

More like a swat on a skeeter...

Update, so my leak has stopped. No parts replaced, or fluids drained. I only have 79hrs on my tractor now. In the long run, I feel the tranny was slightly over filled. Once the level came down, it no longer has a leak. I see the new versions of the 55 are right at $10k more than when I bought mine.

I think the RK models have self healing capabilities. Let's see your orange tractor do that!

That is great news.
