TNT Try New Things - 62: RK25 Tractor - 50 Hour Service [TYM T25]

Getting my RK 25 in two weeks, perfect timing for this video since I want to buy all the items I need to do my 50 service. Thanks

I would of liked to see where all the grease points are.

Thanks for all your tips, saves time for the rest of us.

Great video on 50 hour service on RK 25 Tractor. Regarding your issues with oil filters and accessing them. There is another tool I'd like to see you try. It's a socket for your filter. Notice the outer edge of your filters have a hexagonal edge. A shallow socket is made to fit the smaller filters. Since you already had the new engine oil filter just drop by the auto parts store and find the one that fits your applications. They are a common item at most auto parts stores. You simply insert you 3/8" ratchet or 3/8" ratchet extension into the socket and loosen the filter. Much easier than those expensive filter pliers you bought. You can use them to install the new filter just be sure to lube gasket and don't overtighten that filter! Let me know what you think and keep the great videos coming.

Nice job putting this together! I know from experience as I made a video doing the same service on my RK19. Interesting that the
19 and the 25 both use the same oil filter. You mention using water pump pliers for removing the oil filter and I can say that they make
the best oil filter wrench! I bet I've pulled a thousand O/F's off using the same Craftsman pliers. Did you pull the front tires to make
it more visible to the viewers? Seems like a lot of work. Also the 50hr service is a good time to ck air pressures. Again great job!

I want to thank you, gathering rust and lets learn together U always wonder if I make right choices this is my first tractor and yall put my mind to ease and teach me some valuable things. I can't wait to get my tires dirty and clean them again

Something I learnt from Tony @ Tony's Tractor Adventure is he greases his tractor everytime he fills up with fuel. I thought that was a great idea, as most machines require you grease every 10 hours run time. My J.D.3025 tractor has a 6 gallon tank and runs about 10 HRS per tank of fuel. Perfect time to grease the loader and tractor.

i noticed that my tranny fluid level bubble changes quite a bit based if the backhoe is on or off. Thanks for the shoutout. I reference your videos and Denny's too regularly, and this one was no exception. !

Love this video. I just got my RK25 a few weeks ago. My husband and I have 66 acres we use for recreation. We have a gravel drive and many trails to maintain. I have the grapple, bucket, and brush hog so far. We had to have the parking brake repaired and Thad from RK helped repair it. He suggested your channel and we told him we were already subscribed!! What implement would you suggest for gravel drive maintenance- land plane or box blade? Thanks and keep up the good work.

Did you clean/change the hydraulic screen? I did my service today and I think I missed it.

Noticed the cables above ur oil filter... Might be a good idea to spray them with a little chain and cable lube to keep them moving freely not sure what they go to exactly..just an idea

Also on the grease fittings my previous neighbor who is like a grandpa to me always told me to grease and check the oil n fuel before you start your days work with the piece of equipment . If you didn't use it very much wouldn't need to get grease it but the backhoe and loader bucket curl are the two points of most movement on the attachments and it's not gonna hurt to take a few minutes to put a couple pumps of grease in that will make it work better and quieter and last far longer

Love the video. I was given everything I needed from my tractor guy at rural king. I just ran into a problem. The hydraulic filter they gave me is not the correct one. I’ve called asking for the right hydraulic filter, but they said it does not show up in their computer. Can you tell me the part number you used for your hydraulic filter?

Hello TNT great video , How do you like RK25 so far any issues up to 50 hours ? Thank you in advance .

I still prefer my JD good video altogether

where is the Hydraulic screen located on the RK25 ?

They make a cap wrench that fits on filters ,you can use your new filter to find the right size.

I believe the transmission oil and the hydraulic oil are one in the same, IE the position of the loader, back hoe will have some oil in the tubes depending on the position of the loader, back hoe etc, perhaps that is why the fill is off, I bet completely empty it is 5.8 gallons, kinda like changing the transmission fluid on a car, only a small percentage is actually changed. Doing the 50 hour service today on mine, thanks for the video it has helped alot !!

Great Video. Just about to do my 50 hour on my RK37 tractor.

I am nervous of jack stands. I think I would have put the tires back on before I crawled under the tractor! If it ever came off them it's game over for who ever is underneath it. Better safe than sorry! Great video! Just joined your channel. 👍

Great ! This could be very helpful to those in need. How do you like the r14 tire?

Très belle vidéo
Merci pour ces informations
Très bien faite.
J'adore 👍

Hey from subscriber 777, I’m glad you’re sharing your experience with us all.

Where did you order the zero caps from. Really will keep them cleaner!

Good info thanks for the info good jod

Just got my rk25 today. Thanks for the helpful videos on this tractor.

I had that same problem with the oil filter. Take the old filter to O’Riely auto parts store. They sell a cap that goes on the oil filter. It takes a racket then just spin it off and the new one one. Your doing a really good job. Keep up the good work and putting out awesome videos. Later

Did you grease your axes pivot point and your brake and forward and reverse pins under the tractor

Looks like you could use some hydraulic oil dye. I use Deere dye MT3668 to turn mine red but there are probably other brands of dye that work just fine.

Im just wondering about what the payments run on the rk25 with the backhoe?

i love the check list at the biggening of the video!

was this the first 50 hrs?
