- I just purchased this Tractor from Rural King and found very little info aside from sales material. So this is my review.
This is an honest review and I receive no compensation from this at all.
My youngest daughter also made a quick video and has it on her site.
• Anthony’s new tractor
To see who we are and why I sound like I do watch this video • Us over the last years...
I bought the same tractor from RK a few months ago. I'm new to tractors and bought it because I needed something to deal with some land I just got for hiking and shooting. I love my RK55! RK really seems to stand behind them. Customer education and support has been fantastic!
I don't think you will be disappointed. Minus a few things I'm happy with it. I am almost ready to say as good as my Masseys. These things are tough.
Thanks for your RK55 tractor videos, they helped me make the decision to buy mine. You mentioned the narrow rear and I agree. They could have remedied the problem by outfitting the tractor with 2 piece rear wheels so that the inner hub could be flipped. Also the bucket is a little light. Mine has a bend in it.
I think that would have been much better too. So far my bucket has held up moving and digging dirt. I went to look at a New Holland last week, not sure of the hp, 65 maybe, but it looked similar to the RK55 size. I climbed up in it and hit my head, low headspace. I looked around in the cab and it was nowhere as nice as my RK55 is. As I stepped down I went to the rear and it looked to be just as narrow as the RK55, maybe more. We went through the wettest winter in 100 years this year and I got close but never got stuck.
This is a great review. The only thing I would say and as you probably know by now but the beet juice in the tires is for ballast weigt, it doesn't seal a tire in event of puncture.
Congratulations! I have an RK37 and love it so far.
They seem to be well built and work great. How long have you had your RK37?
Michael, I can’t find any reviews on the rk37...
Sure would be nice if you’d do a video on it!
Thanks
Michael J. O'Dell Jr. Please give us a review I'd like to buy one but not sure yet

good luck with it. it is almost same as my mahindra 2555 hst open station. knobs and controls are all in the same place. except i don't have regen on mine. i have several videos posted about all teh features and the usage and general things i did to mine like using dielectric grease, paint pen on nuts/bolts, etc. got about 90 hours on mine.
forgot to mention i have a video demo'ing the mode button and load button.
I just found out the same manufactured like to see that video makes both of them, along with a lot more brands.
I just checked your videos out. Thanks for the demonstrations and explanations. Looks cold where you are.
my pleasure. when i was investigating tractors prior to my purchase there were only a couple videos out on the 2555 and mainly by the dealers, no details on various buttons/knobs, etc. so i thought i would post what i found out. hopefully this spring i will be using the other attachments i have and take videos.
i have fun using the tractor to plow, so i enjoy it, even more with open cab. :-)
Thank you for taking the time to make and post these reviews... The reviews are few and far between on the internet concerning the RK tractors. Although lighter than most, the tractor looks and seems to work pretty good for the money. If you have time, an 18 month or 24 month review would also be very welcomed and appreciated to see how the tractor is holding up. Are you in a cold climate? I am considering purchasing one of these tractors...
Your welcome. I live in East Tennessee. We have a few weeks of below zero in the winter and a lot of mud season. This past winter I had no problem starting it, which was nice and the cab was great. I wish I would have known I could swap the tires for Ag tires but these tires did well too. This tractor is heavier and longer than my MF231 but the wheelbase is narrow (63.8) , and that makes hills an issue, the Massey is 76 inches. That said it unloaded and stacked 5x5 rolls with no problem, even with me swinging it around quick. I want to do a follow-up showing it mowing a field, it excels at that and one feeding the cows in the worst part of winter. I sat in the RK37, which is too small for what I need but that Cab was tiny compared to the 55.
@hilly777 - Thanks again for your helpful information! I will be watching for the mowing and feeding video!
@@hilly777ak My 55 is 72 and a half inches wide
Wow! Beautiful Tractor! Thanks!
Thank you
RK is going to come out with a hydro for the open station tractor so both cab and open station in the 55 HP tractor will have the option.
I see a 67 Corvair trying to hide in the weeds. Good feature review of tractor.
Thanks. That is a 66 Corvair parts car, I have a 65 Corvair convertible in the back garage and a 64 convertible in another garage.
Nice video! My dads been dreaming of a rural king tractor for years and they are just out of his price range we’ve been tilling food plots and his garden by hand for years wish there was a way you could borrow them for a bit to see if you like it.
And his land is 30 acres haha
Sorry for the deli-ma, haven't been online as much lately. You might find a rental company who has Mahindra Tractors (same basically) and rent one. Then again would a smaller less expensive Tractor work for you? Cab or no cab? I wish me and dad bought this thing when he was alive, I think he would love it.
Anthony Kimbrough Haven’t found a rental company near us and he would need a cab and he does quite a bit of heavy lifting and pretty big food plots
Very nice tractor. Any trouble getting used to the brake pedals being on the left side?
Oh yea. My Lawnmower is Hydrostatic so I thought a piece of cake, then I noticed the pedals are switched. I've lunged forward a time to two today. :)
Tires have rimgard for counter weight. Will not seal a puncture
Nice tractor...Can the rear tires be flipped around to make the rear wider??? I know on my cub Low boy they can...Have a great day...
I don't think they can. That would help it if it could be.
Thank you for posting!
your welcome
That’s a great looking tractor!!!
Thanks.
the only thing you need to wonder about is service and parts. only time will tell on that. is that a corvair?
I worried about that too so I researched it. They are made in South Korea by TYM and assembled in Wavely Ohio. TYM makes a lot of tractor and tractor parts. Not all Rural King stores sells tractors and the have a service area of 75 miles. Each that do sell must have a certified technician on staff. You know how farming goes though, you have to learn to fix a lot of things. I hope this will ghive as good a service as my Massey Ferguson has.
Depending on which Corvair you saw. There is a 1964 Convertible sitting inside the carport, a 1966 2 door parts car outside, and a 1965 convertible in the back carport.
Your thumbnail pic looks like you got it at Rural King on Norris Freeway in Halls area of Knoxville TN.
That is exactly where we bought it. great bunch there.
Hows the tractor been holding up since you got it?
So far it has done really well. This winter we flooded out and it got close but never got stuck. The front end loader surprises me at the strength it has. I still avoid steep but it was better than expected in some conditions I got in.
How’s the tractor holding up
Sorry, I haven't been online as much lately. It has done good, no issues so far aside from the battery connector. I'm wondering why I didn't do this a long time ago.
I would be a little tentative to buy a tractor from a Dept store. They would have to show me a parts Dept and trained service technician.
They offered to but I didn't go. If I don't trust people or a company I simply don't do business with them. There are brand name products I don't buy because I don't trust the service in whatever they sell. Hopefully this will be like my Massey Fergusons, well built and I'll not need the services.
Thank you for the video.
is the corvair for sale
I haven't decided yet, wife wants me to but I don't know. If I do it would be a 1964, a 1965 both ragtops, and a 1966 -2 door parts car
I would like to buy an RK tractor.
how much? thank you
The one I got is the Hydro-static Drive model and runs 29,999.00
Nice Tractor! but man take a little time and cut them there finger nails......
Thanks. The last 2 days me and it are now friends. It got my respect.
lol, just noticed the fingernail thing. Come spring and summer weeding the garden will take care of them.
Any problems with the tractor and do you still think it is too narrow?
It has done well so far. We moved in 184 rolls of hay, many of them 5x5 rolls and I had no fear of turning over, and I moved it fast unloading and restacking it. I still think it is too narrow. It has the length and the height and the weight, just needs some width. The only things I'd change would be the width, a toolbox, and a tad easier ride. I still am pleased with the purchase.
No problems so far. There was a problem of a back-up buzzer, I took care of that. For hillside, it is too narrow, I still don't use on the hillsides. I use one of the Masseys for that, they have a wider wheel base. They need to look at that.
Where do you get the warranty work done at?
Rural King stores that sell them also service the up to a 75 mile radius. Hopefully though it will be like my Massey Ferguson and not need warranty work.
Run away,2 mo and trans is shot,40k paperweight,junk and they know it
