What a great salesman..
I bought a xr4155 last year and love it use it everyday with zero issues.
I bought it over the John Deere because it was $20k less and it had more Standard options than a lot of other tractors almost fully loaded!
And I just ordered larger new one. Love them!
Great video. I'm in love with my LS and have never had any issues with it. I was surprised when the delivery guy told you that no one uses the Engine speed cruise control. That's my favorite button! I have it set to PTO speed so when I need to idle down to talk to someone or turn the tractor around, I just hit the button to get back to work.
thanks for the great video! A fantastic Tractor choice!!
Looks like you are having great fun. Way to go Tom! great video. Thanks
That tractor is equivalent to the xr4140/4145 and boomer 45.
The green lever for your 3pt isn't float it is a draft control. Your 3pt already floats because there is no down force. Owners manual should explain everything for you.
Put your valve stem at the 12 o'clock position and you can adjust the air pressure. 10-12 psi should be enough. Might be a spit of water that comes out.
I did about 3 years researching across all the big brands and 3 things made me go with LS.
Cost, saved about 5-15K across all the brands that were spec’d as close to LS.
Ease of maintenance. I am a truck driver not a mechanic. I wanted it to be as SIMPLE and user friendly as possible. All easy access filters etc.. one LS dealer asked $700 for the 50 hr service. So I figured I wanted to DIY to save $$.
Third, fully featured for the cost. This is what led to the cost difference. Right side door, 3 rear remotes, 540-750&1,000 RPM PTO etc. standard on LS. Their prices are getting higher as they gain in sales too. Get one while ya can!
Warranty is 6 years with 2 b2b and rest as power train. No commercial restrictions like some brands so you can hire out and not void warranty like Mahindra.
My Goodyear R14 tires come with a ten year warranty.
My choice was the LS MT5.73 20F20R power shuttle cab with thumb clutch and creeper.
Also a major plus for me that kept me with LS.... Bigfoot. I have size 17 feet and their 68 hp cab and larger all had room in front of my feet to reach the pedals. I got into a Kubota M6 141hp cab tractor and the pedals were over the top of my shoes when seat and feet were as far back as possible. Big safety issue. NOT WITH LS. Both JD and NH had to be 100hp or bigger to fit my feet behind instead of under pedals.
Enjoy your machine good video👍
steve k yeah im looking at a 141 hp M141 kubota tractor with loader,bucket,forks,10 foot hla blade and dubble auger blower wich my dealer wanted $91,500 wich pretty good price for huge 141hp with everything included
@@michaelmactavish4445 Oh really. And who is this dealer and where are they located?
@@nicholasbrown7068 thats here in pei canada wich all kubotas are sold out and dealer waiting for more bunch to come from japan and georgia for more stock it sure is pretty chaep and affordable
@@michaelmactavish4445 So how come I'm getting a price of $114,526 CDN on a 2022 M6-141 with NO Loader or anything else to go with the tractor?
@@nicholasbrown7068 wellthere about 365,000 kubota dealers in the world sells them with different dealer price
Thanks for your video. Been shopping for a boomer 40 and was needing comparables.
thanks for doing this!
Great review and nice tractor!
good video, just ordered the mt47
really helpful so will know a little about it thanks
i ordered the exact same model a week ago. best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
nice video! I just got a 2019 Boomer 40. I'll have to make some videos now. I mow a little over 7 acres, 2.5 with the house and 5 acres next to it. It's a rough ride mowing the 5 acres. I've mowed without the bucket but not the loader. I don't really have asphalt or concrete to set the loader on to remove it other than in front of the garage and I don't want to block access in case I have issues reinstalling the loader. Worried I'll have issues installing it if it's on grass or dirt. I used to mow it all my land with a John Deere D130 and that ride was a lot smoother. But it was also a lot longer. haha. You should get a quick hitch. Look forward to more videos! cheers! Jason
we have a boomer 2332 wich is piece a junk but were looking replacing it in a feature and getting a kubota
Hi Thomas. Sorry it took me so long to realize your got your new baby ! CONGRATS. She looks like a real winner. I think you did an awesome job on the video. I think you will really enjoy the cab, I know I do. It's nice not having to stop what I am doing just because it starts raining and what is really a treat is being outside plowing snow with mine when it's 10 degrees outside with me HAVING to be in my t-shirt. When the sun is out the green house effect kicks in and keep the inside at a perfect temperature regardless of how cold it is outside. I have been known to run the A/C in the dead of winter LOL.
You showed me two things that really impressed me. One is the rear 3-point hand controller. That sure will come in handy ! The second is it appears your front tires are in fact wider than mine ! That is a huge advantage for a number of reasons. Can you tell me what model year your tractor is and exactly what tire size they have installed for you. I may be able to swap my thinner tires/wheels for a wider version IF the outside diameter has been kept the same. I use my loader a LOT and having a wider tire would be very beneficial. Oh also I do not have "Ag" tires....I have what are known as R4 tires (Industrial tires).....they are in-between an Ag tire and your turf tires. Again, congrats and great video.
It is a 2020 new model changed from a XR4140 to MT3 42 mid year. Tire size are Front 31x13.50-15NHS and Rear 44x18.00-20NHS
Your Video did change my mind about choosing a NH over a JD, but the LS less money and the Dealer was closer. And from what I can see, except for the Loader, its the same as the NH.
@@ThomasBowden380 Thanks for the info. I went online and tried to look up the specs for your tractor and on the LS site saw they list the tire size as 29 x 12.5 - 15 (front) & 41 x 14 - 40 (rear). Interesting how their site and what you actually have are different. I wonder what your owners manual says? In any event the tire size difference is huge and if the bolt hole pattern and outer diameter of the front tires are the same I will be looking into making a swap.
In any event I know the LS & NH tractors come out the same mother exactly like a Ford Escort is the same as a Ford Mercury Lynx (which I had). I think you will really enjoy your tractor. Oh, it will be very "bouncy" running around with a loader but with it off you should notice a much smoother ride.
I have 2 LS tractors, a 40 hp and a 73 hp. They are fabulous. One thing I am not sure was mentioned is that LS loaders are compatible with all attachments/implements made for New Holland, Bobcat, etc etc. John Deere loaders can only use John Deere implements, so if you have non-JD buckets, pallet forks, augers, or other things, they are not compatible with JD tractors/loaders. My only LS complaint is the operator's manual. The amount of misspellings, incomplete sentences, and grammar errors make it almost unreadable. Looks like it was written by a junior high ESL class. For such a quality tractor, it seems like they could have hired a technical writer to explain the product in clear terms.
Thanks for the video, I bought a MT 3 47 ,I was wondering if you had any problems with your hydraulic on the rear. Mine jerks alot going up and down, I tried adjusting the knob below the seat but it don't do any good,just wondering if that was the nature of a LS. Thank you
I have a 7 foot finishing mower on the back so don't need to lift it much. however I did install a Top & Tilt on the rear remotes and it dose jerk a lot. I just figured it was par for the course.
Hey Thomas, been down that same road, having a good relationship with the dealership is at the top of selecting process.unless you pay cash for the LS the savings is not that significant due to LS financing options and New Holland parts are more readily available. I like the New Holland brand loader with the long sweeping boom for choirs like loading and unloading trailers, piling debris and stacking hay etc. I'm a old day Ford tractor guy myself but there's no such thing as fully American made tractor anymore. Looks like you made a great choice for your needs, enjoy!
o ok,, thank you,,,,
I don't want the Mt3, but I'll take your dealer!
So any update on how this is working for you? any issues? seems to be a bunch of people for these and a bunch against these tractors.

Is the steering telescopic or just tilt? I sat in a 4046 with a cab and felt like the steering wheel was very "low" and i was almost reaching "down" to get my hands on it.
Not Telescopic, just tilt.
That's too bad. I hope you don't come to regret that decision in time.
I live in a heavily rural environment, you wont see one LS around here.
Even the Kubota crowd won't touch that brand.
Whatever, you're on youtube so you will find a tremendous support from people who also made that purchasing decision and want to share in the social proof of common interest.
Good luck.
Silly, juvenile comment.
I think his tractor will do fine cutting grass
oi !! 😁✈
Nice tractor. But Jeez,we have an LS XU6158. We don't need it. So we're selling it. Less than 150 hrs. Probably about the same as what you paid for that. Ours is a cab tractor. It has 58 horse power. It's probably to big for what you do.
If you are only mowing why not buy an industrial zero turn. Can mow so much faster. Probably half the price.
Wanted Air Conditioned cab
you dont ever ever run with the bucket raised up in the air, to tell some one to do this is a very bad move,ready the manual it will tell you always run with with equipment lower to the ground
Just a safety issue since it's raising your center of gravity, even more so with material in the bucket, or is there more to it than that?
New title for this video: Eeyore Buys a Tractor
My 1st girlfriend use to call me that and got me a stuffed Eeyore that I still have. But coming from you , It's just hurtful. Shame on you for being a troll. I'm sure you go around kicking kittens.
It was obvious from the video that your demeanor made the salesman visiting your house uncomfortable. Maybe you should have some more self-reflection about your own actions rather than condemning someone you don't know.
@@nglpos Maybe you should practice the age old adage " If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" , and "mind your own business."
Click bait...where iz the video about taking and remounting the loader
Did you watch the video? Its at the 9 min mark.
The title changes as soon as I click on it
You probably bought it cause it's cheaper...that's ok...
Its not just water in the tires & its most likely corrosive, the cab fits several tractors & is used by several. You will find there is a big difference between your LS & a New Holland.
You stepped down from a Lincoln to a pinto.. That's just a fact & never believe a salesman !...
Ls makes new Holland tractors.
New car salesman trying to sell tractors .lmao.dnt know anything about farmwork or tractors or equipment lol
literally the worst tractor video on the internet!!!! SMH!
Nice little tractor ,way ahead of the green .downside ,the dude in sunglasses blabbering on .but didn't know about the vents .
First off, why not just hire a lawn service? Secondly, if you want to do it yourself why not a commercial zero turn like a Toro 7500 with up to a 144" deck? Those are designed for mowing. you bought a machine designed for material handling and farming. Also, why not at least get a larger finishing mower? A JD 1025 would easily handle the puny mower you have and wouldn't rut up your lawn.
