Rob's 2005 Kama 554

[3RRL]

Here's my 2005 Kama 554 which I bought brand new in July of that year.



Man was it ever beautiful and powerful.
It has a Koyker 195 front end loader, 55 hp and 4 wheel drive. I got a bunch of implements and a backhoe with it. I had never owned a tractor before so this was the beginning of my tractor adventures.

I will start a new thread for each of the mods I've done to the tractor, but wanted to share some pictures using the Kama 554 over the last few years.

Here's a few more photos of it doing some work.

And a couple more for good measure.


That should give you an idea of what the tractor's been used for at my rural property. I've never babied it either. It's done a lot of work for us. It's got just over 430 hours on the meter but the meter was broken for about 2 months when I first got it. I figure I really have closer to 500 hours on it now.

Rob,

Your 554 Kama sure is a nice looking tractor, Especially when it was brand spanking new. After a few years it may have some dirt, dings and scratches, but now that you've added all those custom mods and done so much work with it, does it not make it all the more appealing? I think it's size is a perfect match for all the work you've done with it. You did good selecting the Kama 554.

Yeah, I saw later my fronts were squished flat. Some of the stumps with dirt root balls weighed more than that boulder.

Thanks Larry,
It certainly has been a workhorse for me and you are right about the size. It fits pretty much with the "larger than life" projects and obstacles out here in this country. As a matter of fact, I really had my eye on an 65 or 80hp Foton or Kama, but couldn't get one at the time. But the 554 has done everything so far, less associated wear and tear of course.

I'll be posting my modifications under the proper headings if they are generic to most tractors, but I think my maintenance and repairs for the Kama should go under the KAMA heading, don't you? Perhaps even Kama specific upgrades?

Well that's good your going to post all your cool mods and maintenance. Post them wherever you think would be the best fit. I posted all my stuff at random just to get them over here. So I'm sure you will be more organized than what I did. Let it rip.
