RK37 Tractor at Rural King

[Music] [Music] hi i'm chad and welcome to purple collar life this week has been all about tractors we're calling it tractor week here on purple collar life and we've been visiting the rural king store to find out all about the rk tractors on sunday's video we talked about the rk21 the rk24 and the brand new rk25 some pretty impressive stuff there if you haven't watched that go ahead and check it out later in the week we talked about the rk55 and the rk 74 the big guys of the rk tractor lineup and today we're talking about the guy in the middle the rk37 [Music] so one thing a little bit different about this video you'll notice that i'm not driving around the rk37 that's because rural king at our location doesn't currently have any rk37s they are still ordering them and getting them in regularly they're special ordering them for customers so they come in exactly built to the customer's wishes but pretty much as soon as they get the stock ones in as they're just being assembled in the back or prepped for being on the lot they get sold before they even make it out to the lot so the rk37 is certainly a sought after tractor as of right now chris is still having no trouble getting parts and accessories for these tractors so someone had asked about that in the comments wanted to let you know if you need oil filters uh oil any of the normal maintenance stuff chris said he's having no trouble getting those things right now and as far as tractors they are still able to order them and they are still getting delivered to the local rural king store now similar to the rk55 the rk37 comes in four configurations there are two open station models the shuttle shift and the hydrostatic and two cab models the shuttle shift and the hydrostatic the rk37s is the open station shuttle shift the rk37h is the open station hydrostatic the rk37 sc is the shuttle shift cab model and the 37 hc is the hydrostatic cab model and i've showed pricing here that's pricing as of today october 2021 there are a lot of the same attachments you can get the quick attach loader skid steer pallet forks bale spears you can get the grapple you can get the third function it does still have the yanmar tier 4 engine tractor supply has all those three point implements we talked about in previous videos box blades to land planes to brush hogs to tillers rear blades some of you have asked for a direct comparison between the kubota l3901 and the rk-37 here's some specs the l-3901 has 111.4 cubic inch engine diesel 37.4 horsepower the rk37 has a 100.2 cubic engine 3-cylinder yanmar diesel 37.4 horsepower the l-3901 has 30.2 pto horsepower the rk37 30.2 pto horsepower the l-3901 11 gallons of fuel the rk37 9 gallons of fuel the l-3901 6.3 gallons of hydraulic flow through the pump the rk37 6.4 gallons of hydraulic flow some things to note about the rk37 it is a larger tractor bigger frame bigger tires more heavy and those are things that really benefit you the the bigger frame specifically the more weight and the larger tires um are things that i certainly appreciate about the rk tractors the l-3901 front end loader capacity 1131 pounds at the pin and the rk-37 2116 at the pin massive difference there almost a thousand pounds difference and some of you have been asking you know the price isn't that much more for the john deere or the kubota why consider these rk tractors this is one of the main reasons the rk and coyote tractors have significantly greater lifting capacity on the front end loader which is a lot of the work that i do with my tractor as far as physical dimensions they're pretty similar the rk is a little bit bigger a little bit longer longer wheelbase the three-point lift capacity is obviously higher by about 300 pounds on the rk-37 some other key differences you've heard me mention before i like the loader control beside the seat on the tractor the l3901 has a load of control up on the loader which i really don't like i don't think it's comfortable for operation and it also blocks that entry and exit off the right hand side of the tractor i like the fuel tank in the rear if you watch the five things i hate about my john deere 2210 video you saw that i hate fuel tanks up under the hood because then you're leaning over top of those loader arms it's hard heavy to lift the five gallon jugs up there and it also gets grease all over you i also like that the rk series are all feature loaded they have a suspension seat they have tilt wheel two hydraulic pedals rather than the treadle style they have rear remotes they have the rim guard included and the eight year warranty on that yanmar engine and the powertrain those are all huge differences that to me make the rk37 a much better value in addition to the price point all those other advantages i just want to take this opportunity once again to thank rural king rk tractors and chris at our local rural king for letting me drive around all these tractors it's been a ton of fun and i'm so glad i did it one huge piece of advice i have for you if you're currently tractor shopping get some seat time i was really close to making a purchase on a tractor probably a month ago thankfully my wife said just hold off keep doing your research see what else you can find out and then rural king reached out and invited me to come test out these tractors for our channel and i couldn't be more happy that i held out because i really didn't know all there was to know about the rk tractors i knew they were yanmar engines i really like that i knew that they had liquid ballots in the rear tires that was rim guard i really like that i knew they included a lot of the bells and whistles that cost extra with the other tractor manufacturers but i never had been on one hadn't driven anything with the auto throttle and having an opportunity to sit on drive around use the loader functions check out the three-point hitch attachments that stuff makes a huge difference so i highly encourage you if you're considering a tractor don't put money down or don't make a purchase until you've had a chance to drive either one at the dealership or one that a buddy has so once again thanks to rural king and arcade tractors if you like this video make sure you give us a thumbs up comment down below share with your friends and we'll see you again the next time [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] um [Music] [Music] [Music] you
