Read articles →An owner's real-world review after roughly 268 hours of hard use on a 10-acre property in West Michigan. Distinctively hands-on: covers attachment choices (granite grapple, forks, box scraper, brush hog), a direct comparison to John Deere and Mahindra on value and build quality, shuttle-shift preference explained, and actual lift capacity tested beyond 2,000 lbs. Most valuable are the owner-fabricated modifications, reinforced loader dog bones, expanded metal nose guard, and a trimmed roll cage, flagging known weak points buyers won't find in dealer walkarounds. Best for serious RK37 prospects wanting unfiltered long-term impressions.
Posted by the Terry2theGremlin channel, an owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from their own rural property, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
Reinforced the loader dog bones with welded plate, added an expanded metal nose guard, and trimmed six inches out of the roll cage so it would fit in the garage.
It will pick up 2,200 pounds and has been pushed beyond that without really working it, handling a one-ton skid without issue.
The owner says John Deere isn't superior on the tractor itself, the RK37 front axle is built heavier duty, and it weighs more and picks up more than an equal class John Deere.
Personal preference, since hydrostatic drive robs too much power away from the motor and hydraulic system according to the owner.
