Clocks on equipment suck as long as daylight savings time exists. I've only changed the clock on my quad 1 time in 7 years. If you are never going to be on the road, take off the alert triangle.

My complaint is the lack of multiple hydraulic functions at the same time. For example raising the loader arms & dumping the bucket simultaneously. Agreed on the fuel cap placement in combination with the lack of tilt seat. At least the backhoe seat tilts!

Hi Andy i have rk25 as well just over a year now 88 hours on it , Your right about the clock it would handy to have , I really like the tractor and use in mainly to pull a 6ft box scraper on my gravel parking lot easy work . My biggest pet peeve is the location of the fuel tank its a real pain to fuel up with a 5 gal can , Thinking about getting 12 volt fuel pump just for this reason , Great video regards from Ohio !
@ricksandyfox2 жыл бұрын
Thanks, Andy! I just got my T25 three days ago, and I've looked everywhere to find out what that little knob was for. It's so hard to turn that I though it only moved 90 degrees. Mine came with the rear remotes and the bluetooth speakers. I got the dealer to swap out the silly speakers with another set of lights that I have turned to the back.
@ricksandyfox2 жыл бұрын
Update: I found that the knob turns easily if you are sitting in the seat, taking the tension off the springs. Also, lowering the seat is actually reducing the overall travel of the suspension in the seat.

15 hours on my granite grapple and one of my cylinder's started leaking around the top of the seal. Brian at Rural King in Ocala Fl where I bought it looked at it and ordered me a new cylinder under warranty. Don't know how long that may take but the grapple has been great for moving brush piles. I hope this is just a one time thing and not a problematic issue.

I do. My only fear is if TYM and RKO part ways, I'm not sure about the long term on parts and service. So that being said, if you had a TYM dealer near you, I might actually go with the TYM. For me the closest one is over 4 hours away, where RKO is only 15 min. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Sometimes a tractor (& accessorys)are never quite done being built. It is up to the user to "tweek&perfect" the system. And so the "Adventure Continues ". With my warranty 1 month away (5 years), I'm ready to Start Realy Wrenching--- not that it Really needs it. The power & performance has been mighty fine in the last 850 hours,and looking forward to another 3000 hours before l "Scrap-it". I "baby" the rig & has served me well--- lots of grease, oil, fluid,filters. Just don't expect it to be a "D-9 or a 977" to get 2000 hours of reliable & trouble-free service out of it. ALL BRANDS are just about the same. Thanks for the great Video Sir & happy safe tractoring.

Great tractor piss poor service. I wish now I would have just bought from TYM. Wait till you need something. Tried 4 months getting finish mower they come in but they sale it to somebody else did this with my 3rd function valve. I've been forever getting my stuff. Laid away my quick hitch it was 99 dollars but then came in and was charged 119. They have put me threw ringer. Love the tractor it is awesome but rural king has given me the royal shaft. Will never buy anything else from them. I paid cash or I would stop payment and send it back. My forks set out there for 2 weeks and nobody ever called had a friend see them setting outside and called me they truly suck. If you need attachments go else where.

That sucks. Sounds like the store you deal with needs some serious management change. I've had some minor issues with my local store but nothing like that. If I wouldn't have gotten the rk25 I would have went with John Deere or Kubota. I don't have a TYM dealer close enough.
