Closes with a candid verdict on Rural King's shaky dealer support. Best for serious RK37 prospects wanting unfiltered long-term ownership experience.
Posted by the Maynard Family Homestead channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own working property.
The owner says the loader hydraulics are super slow and take a little while to dump, requiring an adjustment period compared to quicker hydraulics he was used to.
At around 300 hours while baling hay, it started knocking and blowing smoke. Rural King found too much oil in it, possibly from their own fifty-hour service.
The entire frame, including the footwell area near the case and hydraulic oil, gets extremely hot after running for a few hours, for reasons the owner does not fully understand.
The owner says it is not a John Deere, Ford, or Kubota, but it does what he needs on the farm and he would still buy it again despite a few quirks.
