RK24 Review

An owner-operator walkaround from someone who actually uses the RK24 for loader work, backhoe digging, and bush hogging. Covers hydrostatic transmission quirks (high vs. low range confusion), the $900 third-function kit for the grapple, mechanical thumb, mid and rear PTO, and practical tips like loosening ROPS bolts before lowering and exhaust placement near the hood latch. Closes with an all-in price of around $20,000. Best for first-time RK24 shoppers wanting a candid owner perspective before buying.

An owner-operator sharing firsthand impressions from real use, with no apparent dealer affiliation.
