Overview
An owner-operator's candid 550-hour, two-and-a-half-year real-world report on the RK55, covering specific wear and damage he's accumulated: paint fade, twisted loader arms from clay digging, a missing hitch pin he calls a manufacturer defect, a sticking three-point bushing, and minor hydraulic seepage. He distinguishes operator error from genuine defects throughout. Best for RK55 shoppers wanting honest long-term durability impressions from hard, uncoddled use.
An owner-operator who uses the RK55 commercially alongside other equipment, sharing unfiltered field impressions rather than a sales or promotional perspective.
