Read articles →An owner update from someone who has been running the RK24 for a couple of years, addressing a recurring front-wheel squeak and sharing honest maintenance observations. He rates it plainly as a homeowner tractor suited for mowing, gravel work, and hauling rather than construction, and briefly notes its TYM origins. Best for prospective buyers wanting a candid long-term ownership impression over any technical deep-dive.
Posted by the mikelastime channel, which appears to be an individual owner sharing personal experience with their own tractor.
No, the owner says he would not recommend the RK24 model for construction, though other models might work better for that.
One side was fixed, then the other side started squeaking. He ran it anyway and the noise eventually stopped on its own with no clear cause.
He rates it as a homeowner tractor good for mowing grass, home gravel work, hauling firewood, clearing debris, and sawmill work.
The tractor is made by TYM, a company that makes a range of tractors, and Rural King bought into it to sell them under their own branding.
