#50 RK Tractor / RK25 T25 Pt.2 NEVER Before Shown on YouTube

[@BGDonkey]

Grateful for this! Appreciate you taking the time to contribute this content. I'm certain it would have done this myself if not having been warned of this issue.

Always eager to share information to keep others from making my mistakes.

Great idea, oughta work well with vibration, like a shock absorber.

[@donaldstrishock3923]

This "miracle wonder " fix will be 5% better than "solid-action". An internal matched "shock-absober" gromet system type would be the "real ticket". My welder would of been fired up in 5 minutes after the problem was diagnosed "& welded the tube crack,& bracket tab" ,along with ordering & getting a FREE one from RK. Replacing parts is a " hold-up" & hastle, fabrication is "were it's at". Thought about this model,but with just a 2 speed hydrostatic trany it seems handycaped. Have a 3 range hydrostatic, an 8×8, and a 12×12 in the "tractor department ". Like the loader & have one on order( just came in), [ took 11 weeks]. Adapting it to my old 3 range 34 year old MF--never came with one. A compact tractor is a very handy investment in productivity. Thank you Sir for the Great vidio and happy safe tractoring.

Great video and just goes to show that the RK 37 with shuttle shift is the tractor for my situation! Been anguishing over which "tractor" to get.

[@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081]

I believe the RK37 has the same or a very similar set up.

What size tarp do you have to cover it? Just picked up a T25 and need something temporary to cover it. Thanks

[@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081]

This is a 10x10 canopy cover. The canopy was covering it and a storm at it up. So I used the “tarp” to temporarily cover it. Great question. I would love to have the “fitted” cover. Our channel is welcoming a sponsor if there is someone out there!!! Lol

Where did the fluid go when you started the tractor up at 7:06 , Also RK should have taken care of that issue under warranty just curious , Thank You GRHF !

[@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081]

Great question. When you drain fluid the pump has to pull the new fluid and run it through all the hoses and cylinders. So the short answer is that it was not full. If you need a better explanation please let me know. In regards to the warranty issue. Warranty covers manufacture defects. I broke this. It was not a defect.

@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 Thank you !

[@southerngunslinger4048]

Did you actually have a fluid leak out of the same place or just air getting in. I think I’m having the same issue but I’m having a leak around that same area. It’s making my hydro run terrible and milky fluid

[@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081]

I did eventually find some fluid leaking out in that general area. At first I could not locate exactly where it was leaking from. But once I found those crack I knew that is where it was coming from. Now that I put the new pipe in I have not had any leaks or milky fluid.

[@southerngunslinger4048]

@@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081 thank you sir for getting back to me. Today I noticed my loader making a terrible noise and shaking the tractor as I went up with it. Checked the fluid and it was cloudy, then found the leak. I’m hoping this is it and a simple fix

[@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081]

The bolt is a bit of a pain but otherwise it is easy.

[@petermartin7011]

@@southerngunslinger4048 same here. Vibration will eventually cause this, needs gromet or even just wire tie this hose. I'm going to weld it.

[@PeaceIntheValley]

Sounds good. Was it rusty at the crack?

[@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081]

No

[@mochouinard]

I'm new to tractor and hydraulic, and I just received my TYM T25, and I noticed while disconnecting my grapple, the hydraulic was whiteish.... I never operated a backhoe before, and I notice there were a good delay when I change direction... Maybe it normal, but I'm starting to think after watching your video it might be air in the hydraulic in the system, and the delay of the hydraulic is the air being compressed... The machine have 8.7 hours of run time ! I emailed the dealer and we will see what they tell me !

[@gatheringrusthobbyfarm8081]

If the hydraulic fluid has a “whiteish” color then you definitely have a problem somewhere. It could also be water. Certainly you need to have it checked before using it. If there is a problem and you continue to use it….. you could cause permanent damage. Let me know if I can help further.
