Along the way he shares a notable PTO horsepower comparison between the RK24 and RK25. Best for owners curious how the tractor handles a full day of grapple and grading work.
An owner-operator documenting hands-on projects on his own property, so expect a practical, experience-based perspective with no apparent dealer affiliation.
The lifting capacity on the arms is around 900 pounds, making it capable of handling tough, heavy items like old rotted logs.
Despite having the same engine, the RK25 actually has less horsepower at the PTO than the RK24, at least on the first RK25 models.
It uses a Granite grapple branded by Top Dog Attachments, about 48 to 50 inches, which works well though a split top grapple might grab uneven loads better.
It took probably three to four hours to clear through the pile of cut-up logs and debris that had been accumulating for a couple of years.
