Two days and I'm ready to tear out (or at least muffle) the backup beeper. Has anyone figured out where it is on the RK55 yet?

Thanks for the offer! I was able to get it sorted out thanks to RTBee. I'm now backing up with a smile.

Not much in the way of new pics because my phone is having trouble, but got to put a little time on the tractor today with the flail mower. I don't think I could be any more pleased with how it ran. Pretty thick and tall grass, no hiccups and I never felt like I was running out of power. Seems like a keeper so far!

My wife also got to drive it for the first time cruising around the fields. First time ever on a tractor, don't think she's even sat on a ride-on mower before. First words out of her mouth were "This is fun! Can I go around again?" I think the hydro drive was a good choice lol

That would be great! I ordered from the Wytheville, VA location. Added the 3rd function on the front and a 3rd remote on the rear. I forget the name of the guy that took care of me right now, but he was great to work with. From what I gathered it will most likely be 3 or 4 weeks... of course I'm hoping for as soon as possible.

I thought the RK55 came standard with the 3rd function?

On the RK55 models, the loader handle comes standard with a 3rd function button already on it, unlike the RK37 models. However, the actual valve is extra - $795 for the parts and $225 for RK to install it, or you can install yourself.

I'm not quite sure how they add the button to the Rk37 models, maybe it's as simple as a handle switch out.

I can answer that I just ordered my RK37 with the 3rd function on the front. And you are correct, they do a handle swap. And it sounds like the cost is the same as the RK55.
