So I started looking at tractors about 4 months ago and came about this site. Started my research and started looking at RK tractors mostly because of the positive remarks in the forum. I haven’t found very much negative if any on them. And price to value is very good.
So I went to my local RK and started looking and continued my lurking here. Once I put my hands on one physically that’s all it took.
So here’s what I’m looking at.........
55SC (still trying to decide hydro vs shuttle)
72” loader
60” grapple
Third function valve kit
72” brush cutter
72” finish mower
84” rear blade
72” box blade
72” rake
Carry All
Boom pole
Not sure there isn’t anything else I should get. I’d love to do the backhoe but can’t afford it right now. The equipment above will be used at least weekly. Maybe not every week with the grapple and blades. But enough to justify the purchase.
Does anyone know of any mods that they’ve done to the tractor? I saw a post on a light bar. Was looking to see if there was anything else. I saw something about a tool box too. I think I’m gonna make the carryall into a tool box.
I do a lot of welding as a hobby when I’m not running/maintaining the farm. I’d love to say our place is a hobby farm but it’s a business. Mowing, moving manure, burning debris/deadfall, filling in holes made by horses, mending fences, etc isn’t a hobby.
Anyways, any input would be great. I’m pretty excited to get this tractor and see what I can do.
