The family drives to the dealership to buy tax-exempt, then later walks through the cockpit, shuttle shift, PTO, third-function valve, rear remotes, and cup holders. Real-world use (bush hogging, tree clearing, ~19 hours) and a Kubota cost comparison are the most useful bits. Best for shoppers curious whether the RK55 delivers value versus Japanese brands.
Posted by the Chapman Shenanigans channel, which appears to be a family lifestyle channel documenting rural property ownership rather than a dedicated equipment review source.
The owner was dead set on a Kubota but found the RK55 significantly cheaper after pricing both out, and felt they got more for their money.
It came with a box blade, a seven-foot bush hog, and a grapple attachment, along with a third function valve and rear remotes.
It has been used for clearing land, bush hogging, and clearing trees around the barn, and the owner says it has proven to be a capable workhorse.
It has a PTO on/off switch, an emissions button, a hand throttle and foot throttle, a clutch, and forward/reverse shuttle shift controls.
