ENGINE DETAIL

The RK37H tractor is powered by a Yanmar 3TNV88-CR diesel engine, offering a robust 37.4 hp at a rated RPM of 3000, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooled system enhances engine efficiency by maintaining optimal operating temperatures, while the common rail direct injection fuel system improves fuel atomization for better combustion and reduced emissions. However, with a relatively modest power output, it may face challenges in heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for light to moderate farming activities rather than intensive operations.

RK TRACTORS RK37H ENGINE

The RK Tractors RK37H, powered by a Yanmar 1.6L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a compact yet robust solution for various agricultural tasks, providing efficient fuel consumption with a 9-gallon tank. Its engine ensures strong torque output suitable for powerful implements but may require higher RPMs for optimal performance. This tractor is ideal for smaller farms or landscaping tasks, balancing power with ease of maneuverability.

TRANSMISSION

The RK37H tractor features a hydrostatic transmission system, allowing for seamless speed adjustments without the need for shifting gears, enhancing operator comfort and precision during various tasks. Its infinite 3-range forward and reverse gears provide versatility for both speed and torque, making it suitable for diverse applications such as landscaping or light agricultural work. However, operators should be aware that hydrostatic systems may have higher maintenance costs and can lead to reduced power transfer efficiency compared to traditional gear systems.

MECHANICAL

The RK37H tractor features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, ensuring enhanced traction and stability across varied terrains. Its hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth speed regulation and ease of operation, particularly in tasks requiring precise maneuverability—an advantage in applications like mowing or material handling. However, the two-post ROPS may offer less rollover protection compared to full cab models, presenting a potential safety concern in hilly or uneven environments.

RK TRACTORS RK37H TIRES

The RK37H tractor offers versatile tire options for varying agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial applications, enhancing traction and stability based on terrain. The standard agricultural tires (7-16 front, 11.2x24 rear) provide excellent grip for field work, while the lawn/turf tires (28x8.5-15 front, 41x14-20 rear) are designed to minimize soil compaction and protect grass surfaces. Industrial tires (10-16.5 front, 43x16-20 rear) feature robust construction for durability, suited for loading and hauling tasks on uneven surfaces, but may compromise soil engagement compared to ag tires.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The RK37H features a compact wheelbase of 66.1 inches, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for small farms or landscaping tasks. Weighing 3106 lbs, it provides stability during operations, but may present challenges in heavier soil conditions due to potential soil compaction. The tire specifications suggest versatility; front tires (7-16) offer good traction while the rear (11.2x24) support heavier loads, making it suitable for a range of implements but potentially limiting performance in very rough terrains.
