Congrats........mine should be ready for delivery Friday or Monday. I got the 72deck to make it a little bit easier mowing up close to things with the deck sticking out a little further - my lawn is 90% flat so hopefully not too bad scalping issues. when I get mine we can RACE!!!!

Cool! :drink: Yeah, I don't understand why a lot of people get the smaller deck, unless you need the clearance. The 72 is way easier to mow around obstacles.

I have a daughter and wife that like to mow so it will be much easier for them - I am excited for them to not have something with quirks like all my older stuff so they can enjoy it - I will likely just get to use it for landscaping etc.....I will say this.......in a tractor of that hp and size no manufacturers off anything comparable, JD sure has a niche there I have looked at them all!!!

Yes, before I wanted a 3R Series, but this is the perfect size for me. I'm guessing its a better mowing machine than the 3R, since it has the Command Cut.

yes I get it........I nearly went with a 3520, that fell thru, then I wanted to get a case/ih or ls or boomer but they only offer a 66 inch deck on a 63 inch wide tractor that is over 1000 lbs heavier - after talking and pondering and listening to folks here I just didn't think that kind of weight on my yard would be a good thing over time not to mention not having a mower that stuck out farther for easier mowing around things, then comes the wife/daughter part and adjustment of mower height, getting it off/on, so many other nuances that the lighter weight on the yard and higher hp than ANYONE could compete with if I wanted to do some rear mount work - deere has capitalized on something no one else has in the size/mmm/hp aspect - not to mention price - I tried every dealer and brand around and no one had anything even close - I would have never guessed JD would be that competitive - I still wish I had red paint but I have 3 other red paint tractors so i get my therapy from those ha!!!

What’s a ballpark $$ on a 2038r with loader mower? I’ve got a deal working for a 2025r but wish it was wider. Love the 2032/2038r never asked about price cause figured was more than I could swing.

I think it depends on what part of the country you are in. I need to do the math, but I think I got around 15% off MSRP.

 

[searcyfarms]

well my build your own for a 2038 says 28525ish which includes loader and R4 tires - not sure if you were ordering anything else alex so take 15% off that would be around 24246ish - i got mine with a MMM so it was significantly more - that price includes a bucket with the loader price on the build your own

3032R says 26663 - 15% = 22663
2025R says 20240 - 15% = 17204

so about 7K more for a 2038R or 5K more for a 2032R - those are ballpark of course - you could compare the prices you are getting for your 2025R and the percentage obviously and see if the 15% holds true to the build price approximation

typo i meant to say 2032R on that figure above where it says 3032R

Thanks. I am looking at a machine with loader/mower. Stopped by dealer yesterday and was about 20 for 2025 and 25 for 2032. So about 5k diff. Figured it was quite a bit. Stopped by RK the RK 37 is a lot of Tractor for about same amount of $$. Open station for 20 and cab for 25. Can’t hardly beat a deere but it is tempting. Of course no mmm on the RK37.

I know nothing about an RK tractor than what I have read, seem like a great warranty - if you don't need a MMM and are getting a RMM no big deal - my only concern with the RK is who is going to do that 8 yrs of WTY work if there is a problem ? do they offer service/repair/parts at a rural king store or the local dealer ? From reading real quick, looks like they are a TYM made tractor possibly - it also sounds like they are still moving forward with their expansion at the Rural King stores and some are offering service/repair already. I wouldn't be scared of it if you plan to keep it for a long time to get your $$ out of it and if you can do moderate service on your own. I purchased a 3 point tiller from china that way, came over on a slow boat - gave 1000 bucks for it plus 250 for shipping - its a 6 foot heavy duty gear drive unit that will put a 65HP tractor on its knees if you want to dig deep with it...........its failed twice in 12 yrs, a bearing in the gear drive went out - ordered seal, got bearing locally, it was built with a fafnir/Timken bearing - that ran me 18 bucks/seal was 12 - then the gearbox broke, straight gears blew out, I have hit some rocks with it so that is probably what did it - ordered replacement gears which are now upgraded to spiral beveled gears to the tune of 130 bucks with shipping and made my own paper gasket from a sheet of gasket paper stock from oreillys - so as you can see not all things are so bad if you have a reasonable bit of skills and know what you are getting into. If the TYM statement is true/accurate I would say you are not risking much especially since rural king seems to be still moving forward, you could also get parts directly from tym and the branson/Mahindra/TYM dealers could service your tractor - I would even go one better, call a tym dealer or local shop and ask them if they would work on your tractor, tell them what you have - I would tell someone you have one and want to get it serviced, that will tell you what kind of dealer you are working with. Just my experience from dealing when them - if they want your business they will take care of you regardless. my Chinese tiller is still in business, I can still call and get parts, and a comparable tillers are double the money - a Rural King might be worth the investment - I don't see any huge red flags depending on who you have in your area for service
