I have the RK55 and so far the sevice has met my expectations. I hope you have as good of luck with your service. I am interested to see how it turns out

[@wrfarms9741]

From the description you gave, you may have a stuck injector. That would account for the runny oil that smells like diesel. Hope RK is able to get the repairs done in a timely manner for you.

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

You’re probably right. They did drop off a loaner tractor for us which was awesome.

[@wrfarms9741]

@@MaynardFamilyHomestead That was very cool! Few stand behind their equipment like that.

[@RealJeep]

One of the reasons I bought a TYM instead of an RK was that TYM makes RK and is a factory authorized dealer/shop. I don't know if RK will even be in the tractor business in a few years (see RK's Montana tractor series).

Hope you can get it fixed! 🙏🏻

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

Thank you! And thanks for watching.

[@tuck1963]

Sounds like the head gasket popped. Good luck. I own a 37 as well.

[@tuck1963]

After stewing on this a while, I agree with WR Farms that it's a stuck injector. Hope that's all it is!

[@OneManand5acres]

I'm very interested to see what went wrong with that 37 I have that same tractor except mine is hydro and not a shuttle hope it's a simple fix.... I did my own 50 hour on mine no problems and I have 120 hrs on it. And as always god bless and stay safe from the buckeye state..

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

Me too brother. They said you can do your own service, you just want to keep your receipts for proof.

[@weeweed86]

I may have missed it but I didn't see what the problem was and how the customer service from RK was.....?

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

It wasn’t outstanding, I went into more detail on this video: Rk37 update! Is the warranty good on Rural King tractors? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZSnp6x8eNuCf6c

[@marksouers7119]

I have this tractor with hydrostatic. The PTO horsepower is 29 and I have been told that bailing hay is too much for this PTO?

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

It all depends on the baler, I have a pretty small square baler and mine works perfectly. I do know you lose horsepower with a hydrostatic though, so it is possible that it might not be strong enough.

[@kylefamilyhomestead7007]

Man I hate that happened to y’all. I’m praying RK takes care of you. That much hay is a blessing! Great content brother.

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

Thank you sir!

[@scotty.5258]

Sorry to hear the new RK is down and out. I hope they take care of you with this issue. That's got to sting only having 240 hours on it 😔

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

Thanks. I hope it’s just a fluke problem.

[@lonnieiihuffman4405]

Hopefully it's just a dpf filter stopped up. This is one of the things that hampers new diesel engines now and it causes them to do all kinds of crazy things

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

I really wish they would leave our farm equipment to be. All of the new emissions garbage is creating more problems than it’s solving.

[@lonnieiihuffman4405]

@@MaynardFamilyHomestead I worked around diesels for 18 years at a state highway department and was around everything from tractors, rollers, trucks, loaders, etc and everyone of them were hampered by this at one point. I agree, it is aggravating and causes a loss of time with downed equipment. Hope you find something out soon

[@kennethheern4896]

I had a friend purchased a tractor from Rural King several years ago. Biggest piece of junk I’ve ever seen. It was considerably less money than any namebrand, but you get what you pay for.

[@jefffrancis6824]

any update

[@MaynardFamilyHomestead]

Yep, they tried to tell me there’s nothing wrong with it. I’m thinking one of the injectors stuck open which caused all of that knocking and smoking. It’s a little frustrating not having a definite solution though

[@raywhite1442]

Go get you another at rural king it should be easy to get that pos repaired

[@raywhite1442]

Get yourself a Kubota

Dose he think this comment is helpful. Or he is just a idiot troll.

[@froochie123]

Personally i love your fan boy mentality. I also love paying for each arm rest individually along with the mirrors.
