RK tractors

Just looking at the Rural King add. The price for the 55 hp w/ cab doesn't sound too bad but I've ran perkins engines for so long I haven't even thought about any other ones. I really don't need a new tractor but it sure would be nice to climb into a nice quiet cab. I'm not sure I would care for the hydrostat tranny but I guess I could get used to it. What do you guys think--good or bad. Keith
 
Most likely one of those Chinese tractors and I doubt RK has a very good service or parts dept(LOL).Buy it use it til it breaks,haul it to the scrap yard.It won't seem very cheap then
considering you can probably buy an older US built tractor use it 20 years and get as much or more than you paid for it.
 
Yep, that's what I'm thinking too. Their add says they are from South Korea and their stores will have parts and service for them--Bet that will last for a long time (not). Shoot, our local RK can't even keep sweet mix for horses in stock. lol
 

Look for a twenty year old name brand tractor without electronics. It will serve you longer and cheaper.
 
These are built by TYM from South Korea, using USA-built Yanmar engines (also found in Yanmar, John Deere and Cub Cadet-Yanmar tractors).

TYM also builds or built tractors sold in USA under TYM, Mahindra, Cabela's, Scorpion, Millenium, Montana;
as well as other countries as BGU, SAME, Nibbi and Lamborghini (Green Pro). They have/had an alliance with Case IH in South Korea as well.

TYM just bought one of their South Korean competitors, Kukje, which manufactures the Branson tractors and some John Deere in South Korea, and has a tech alliance with JD.

The new RK tractors should be GREATLY better than Rural King's previous Tractor King line of Chinese-built tractors!
