I'm impressed I have been catching up to your videos and they are by far one of the most informative and well produced. Thank you for the hard work

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks Nick, sometimes I think I spend to much time editing and trying to get things just right, comments like yours make it worth doing

[@sixosixo]

I continue to be impressed with the RK equipment.

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes, I have to agree, the grapple on a farm tractor is a great tool to own and use. Thanks for this one too, Mike.

[@raffy1ca]

The grapple is next on the wish list. Just bought a landpride box scraper last weekend and am amazed at how handy it is to have. Cheers from Saskatchewan!

[@tommyordoyne7461]

That was impressive. Dead lifts for a tractor with a grapple. I bet Melissa was impressed also.

[@bruceingram3439]

Thanks for the grapple work. Wish I had one. The new camera makes the videos really pop! Crisp. Sharp.

[@lesliegrahambettley8136]

Can’t stop watching your stuff on utube really great we’re going to move to USA one day colarardo nice one ☝️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🇬🇧

[@LT1FirebirdSLP]

When tinder and kindling just won't do, just go straight to fuel and MAPP Gas... LOL I LOVE IT!

[@macsair]

Very impressed, I thought the back wheels might lift slightly but it didn't appear to move.

[@mikehornsby599]

I have a grapple on my 5065e j d an it a life saver , tell Melissa happy Mother’s Day , have a great week!!

[@richardglandus1576]

Très belle vidéo Très beau tracteur et très bien équipé 👍 Je suis impressionné par la puissance de la fourche avec le grappin. J'adore 👍😀

[@kevincameron8437]

That little 37 is looking like a champ the more I see it in use. Nice little utility tractor.

[@x3dominator28]

That’s pretty darn good for just rim guard and a landscape rake for ballast!

[@humbleheart7196]

Counter balance/rear weight is critically important. Running the weight low to the ground is also helpful. Love mine on a JD 4520 and it can carry a load.

[@stereolababy]

impressive that it did that at idle-i'm sold

[@leol1682]

That little RK 37 tractor is strong and Mike tel your wife Happy mothers day .

[@russellbowman8051]

Test completed now you know what it will do!!👊

[@powerstrokepuller8076]

Happy Mother's Day to Melissa!

[@kk5sc]

Mike - add a steering wheel spinner knob. You love it once you use it with your right hand on the grappler.

[@augustreil]

I have suicide knobs in my plow trucks and on my tractors, you're right, makes everything real easy !

[@waynecoley4876]

Thanks for the video Mike. I ordered a Rhinoag AGR60SS three weeks ago to use on my LS XG3037. I’ve been doing lots of clean up on my place and cannot wait to start using the grapple.

[@braydens3612]

This was definitely your best video yet, I can't wait for more firewood vids!

[@deanbarr5740]

Another great video Mike. As soon as my budget will allow it I'll be adding one to my implements thanks bud.

[@KiotiCS]

Very nice Mike it sure picked it up very ezy !hope you have a great week ! Curt 😀👍🚜

[@botabob]

Happy Mother’s Day everyone....Cheers

[@andreasadams3949]

The RK 37 is really powerful for its size.

[@scooterpie696]

Awesome. I appreciate your thoughts and observations on the RK 37 and the grapple. Impressive machine. If only it had a mid mount PTO option I think it might be the perfect Compact. I believe the closest RK that sell them is 5 hours away from my location in the thumb of Michigan. Bummer. If they offer them up here, they will sell them as fast as they can make them.

[@ODLife]

I always tell my wife when she thinks I'm not moving fast enough that slow is smooth and smooth is fast!

[@bryanroberts7127]

Mike, how is the control stick for the loader? From watching you, the placement of it, doesn't look like it would comfortable? What are your thoughts?

[@roberthoffman9334]

Mike, great video. Could you do a siries on hooking up attachments. Thanks.

[@wizard1800]

I agree slow and steady will get more done.

[@donmotz5528]

Hopefully that log is going to get sawed into boards and not firewood......lol.....but looking forward to seeing the firewood videos Mike...keep em comin.

[@powerstrokepuller8076]

Don Motz would love to see mike make a chainsaw mill video!

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

sure like these tractor videos, we have major flooding again and can't get into the woods or mow

[@erdricksword3684]

I use the same "add wood till it starts to burn" method shown, lol

[@elemento1991]

Do you guys happen to have the backhoe attachment for this? I was reading up on these a bit and to my surprise the RK37 looks to have more breakout force than the RK55 backhoe. I saw you did a video digging some stumps out with the 55 and was just curious how they compared. Thanks

[@raybloom5727]

Mike, Norwood Sawmills has a free app for your cell phone that gives you board feet of a log. It also can give you the weight of a log. Having trouble getting the specs on the Top Dog Grapple and the different sizes available. Any help would be appreciated. I have been to the RK stores and they are no help.

[@nelsoncarl9220]

How are the rk tractors we do not have a dealer here in up state ny. Looking to get another tractor to uses on our hobby farm

[@rtrester1]

Hey Mike! Very impressive! Do you have a link to where you got the grapple bucket? And do they come in various sizes?

[@rvasser68]

Mike, you have a link to the grapple? Been looking and can't find a price or info on either of RKs sites. Thx

[@Zomsky]

Wow Mike, I’m impressed! Very surprised how stout the RK is in the rear end. How bout putting the grapple on the Kubota for comparison? Reckon RK will fedex one to Sydney for me 😂😂

[@medicevans]

Yes, they would. Send an email to them.

[@jimjohnson3244]

Mike, great video! Just what I needed, more info on the 37. It's making me lean more toward it than the 55. What are your thoughts on the shuttle shift vs hydro on the lower horse power? Thanks.

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

You even start your fires just like me!

[@gregdavis8217]

I'm trying to decide between the RK37 and the Mahindra 2538... it's a tough decision because the Mahindra is coming in a little cheaper with lower interest rate also. But RK is 5 minutes from the house. I hope that RK lowers there rates. I'm staying patient to see if they do.

[@briankshaw8755]

Like a boss..very impressive.

[@f7730]

I have the kubota l3240 and it only lifts about 1000lbs. What is the hp of the 37.. I would love to get a grapple for my kubota just don’t know what size would be good for my tractor..

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

This 6' granite grapple is great but it is heavy and would really only need a 5 footer, actually the 5 footer would probably be better for me.

[@waltertadla7193]

I`m curious are your tires liquid filled? Machine is quite strong and powerful. . I have an older J.D. 310 Backhoe. Made up my own forks and use a chain to hold my logs. This set up has worked for me for decades. Like the videos!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

walter tadla, tires come standard with Rim Guard

[@AJmx2702001]

Thats about 1/3 of your tractor weight so thats safe i would say since you have a bit of counter weight on the rear and i would be interested in what the 3 point will carry now lol

[@glocksforme]

Quick question Mike. Do you carry a fire extinguisher on your tractors?

[@dougmoore7116]

Thumbs up for firewood videos. Do you have any videos planned for the disc?I’m thinking about buying one for food plots, let’s see it in action.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Should be this week if it drys up a bit

[@marklengal9990]

Mike. I noticed you mentioned at idle when lifting. What’s is a good Rpm and does it make a difference? Also what does the grappler weigh? Great series buddy

[@bogillespie4774]

Looks like it do the job fine

[@matthewprestine1974]

Would have liked to see a multi log lift and a rock and a ?

[@jeanpoulin6227]

is that granite grapple available or is it a prototype? i can't find it on top dog site.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Jean Poulin, They make them for Rural King

[@allenhenry1113]

How much hp does the 35 have. I believe that its close to my tractor. In size.

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

Didn't even seem like your back end got too light are the tires loaded?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

yes, watch video I just uploaded

[@AutumnOaksFarm]

How much weight in the rear tires Mike? Nice video Mike.

[@AutumnOaksFarm]

I figured Mike had to have some weight in those tires that was a heavy log he was lifting I think he sold me on that grapple.

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

I have a question and people will get upset me asking but I need to know. These attachments to the tractor are they given to you by the manufacturers?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Nobody should get mad about a question! Watch video 124, Explains everything

[@donaldkennedy5604]

Hey Mike! How big of a log will the bigger tractor handle with that grapple?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Not sure but will find out

[@bobcole9274]

Mike; really like the looks of the grapple, so I called Top Dog and found they are built about 90 miles from me. But they are sold through Rural King so waiting for a return call from them. Is yours 72 inch? Thanks for the video. Bob

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Bob Cole, yes this one is the 72"

[@bobcole9274]

thank you. they are working on a 60 inch. that I may buy.

[@tedhall2277]

I'm impressed with the RK line of tractors and attachments. I live around Tulsa, Ok. and we don't have a dealer in this area. I guess I'm stuck with buying a Kabota!

[@theinternets7516]

What was up with the camp fire at the beginning of the video?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

The Internets, daughter was having a few friends over for a fire

[@theinternets7516]

Gotcha. I kept waiting on you to say something about it later in the video and then you never did and I was really confused as to why you would start a fire and then just drive off to do tractor work.

[@HerbertVickers]

Love your videos, Mike. They're both informative and entertaining. And your iMovie video editing skills are getting better all the time. I was wondering how often you run that Polaris Ranger with all seats occupied?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Herbert Vickers. I dont run the ranger with all seats filled often but when I do it's fun and usually taking a whole crew for a trail ride, family, kids and their friends etc

[@richardmotsch4010]

Outdoors With The Morgans p

[@aje2498]

That log if it's dry may be 1100lbs. Green is easily pushing 2000lb

[@f7730]

What’s the lifting capacity of the rk37

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I don't know what is stated lifting capacity is, however I can tell you real world I have lifted and carried firewood baskets (that I weighed) that were over 1600 lbs with the forks on

[@f7730]

Outdoors With The Morgans I’m just surprised the amount the Rk37 lifts.. My l3240 is quite jealous..

[@steveswitlik9779]

do you got fluid in the tires

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes comes standard with Rim Guard

[@haroldboston5080]

Can you put that on the kabota. And try that I just got one yesterday. Like to know how it works out before I buy one

[@ceadeses]

How much does the grapple weigh?

[@comptoncivil7143]

What brand of tractor is that?

[@jonavarque347]

YOU need to watch some Crazy Russian Hacker vids on fire starting :)

[@APBT-Bandog]

Not a big fan of a single long top grapple that torques unevenly on a long item that has different diameter objects.

[@athomeinthewoods8057]

That's impressive Mike! Are your tires loaded?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Mario Gazzilli, yes the come standard with rim guard

[@talkingcargojunkremoval]

How much was the tractor?

[@larryhewitt1078]

4wd is the way to go with a grapple attachment my tractor is 2wd but 60 hp it is possible to use but it's hard on front end. Like you said slow and stead be safe and keep it close to the ground

[@bullrun1]

handled that log like a toothpick - I hate to say it, but I think put that grapple on your Kubota and do some side by side comparisons...lol

[@nelsoncarl9220]

How are the right

[@DeNifty1]

How would your Kubota do with that grapple with the same log capacity? I am about to pull the trigger on a L3901 and the stuff I hear about capacity and the weight of the grapple leads me to wonder if I would be okay with the L3901. I like that RK but there isn't a deal that is close enough for when I deal with servicing.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

The 3901 is a good tractor, I have a lot of seat time on one but can say from experience it wouldn't lift near the weight that this 37 does,

[@DeNifty1]

The biggest reason I lean to the Kabota is dealer location and your test was probably the max thing I would ever do with it. Do you think the L4701 would do it no issue? Sometimes the specs around these different tractors confuse me more than anything especially when they seem comparable and I trust a salesperson as far as I can throw him.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes I think the 4701 would do it, you are right about specs, the more you read the more you get confused lol

[@DeNifty1]

Thanks a bunch for the info

[@krazypolak1820]

Who makes rk37

[@darrengarlough5121]

wow do you think Deere would lift that?

[@cdmajesty4803]

Mike, I bet that log weighs closer to 1500 lbs.

[@bendigr]

slow and low !! And you'll be fine.

[@funpupps]

When you started to lift that log, I was afraid you’d go flying. I was surprised the back tires didn’t even lift up. Careful, Mike.

[@tndeere]

Think I need a grapple

[@Living-The-Dream]
