I have no doubt they are fortunate to be dealing with you. By now, frustration and high blood pressure would have taken my vocabulary back to pre-Christian-talk-like-a sailor days!
God bless you I would have driven the tractor thru the showroom window by now.
Doubt it would have ran long enough to do it.
The dealer would’ve laughed and said oh that’s one of ours. Guys go back to work, it’s a LS, that thing will not run long enough to do any damage.
Wow. So glad I found this. I Have been looking at one of the LS cab tractors as a replacement for my current tractor. Not anymore. Thanks for posting.
I had a similar tractor bought new in 2006. That tractor never gave any trouble at all but then it did have an ordinary direct injection diesel engine with no sensors or common rail injection systems. Bring back simplicity
I feel your frustration honestly , but when I believe were "Turkeys" sounding off I could'nt stop laughing. How appropriate !
Maybe they should just give you anew one. It’s very smart that you have documented your issues .
I've just found a totally new level of love and respect for my old, 1978, Satoh tractor!
Never missed a beat, never let me down. Since I got it, it ALWAYS started on the first touch of the key. And even better, continue running until I turn it off. LOL 😂
Well you have made my mind up about the la tractors. Thanks for the info
THANKS for all the updates! I have written to LS with my opinion, I hope you get all this settled. They just need to take this back and give you one that works. Their reputation is already ruined unless they get things right with you, a good reputation is worth it's weight in gold.
You sir have many more patients than I do. I would have literally blown that thing up before I got the hog pen. I bet that would be a really good tractor if the government would stay out of the tractor business.
Nothing but respect to you for your ability to not loose your cool. I'd be a fussing fuming fool by now. God bless you for your example of self control
What a horror story, i hope you have had it resolved, God bless you.
LS is making all the other brands look pretty good. I love my Massey Ferguson.
The one and most important thing it doesn't have is dependability. It's a good thing you have a lot of patience.
Had my 4140 for over a year now. We have a 400 acre farm. Does all the bush hogging. I rake hay with it all summer long. Drag logs up every day for my wood business. This year I pulled a 12' disk for my 10acre food plot. So far I've had damn good luck.
I am glad you showed this I will never buy one since service had no idea how to fix it.
Danny, you've about convinced me not only to avoid LS, but to avoid modern tractors. Suddenly my 1959 Massey 204 is looking good. :-) I sure hope you find a competent tractor outfit that truly can support their products. Makes you miss the old days.
I once owned a 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit diesel that I was able to drive for about 5 minutes before it would go dead, just like your tractor. Watching this video reminded me of my old car so much. I tried to fix that car for about a month, to no avail. I even swapped out the entire injector to see if that was the problem. It wasn't. I had no idea what was wrong. One day, my father asked me to listen for the sound of bubbles in the fuel tank, right after the car shut off. I drove it, it shut off, and I listened for the bubbles. I actually heard them. I told my father and he informed me that the "in tank" fuel filter was clogged. What was happening was, as the injector sucked the diesel fuel from the tank, a negative pressure would be created in the fuel line. The engine would burn what fuel there was in the line, but once the negative pressure was too much for the injector to pull, the car would shut off. After I waited for a few minutes, I'd be able to start the car again, no problem. To fix the issue, I pulled out the back seat and removed the small cover that was on top of the fuel tank. I used a tool that looked like a screwdriver to pull out a cylinder shaped filter that had a very fine screen on it. It was totally gummed up from all the dirty diesel fuel the car used through the years. I used a turkey baster to suck out all the dirt that settled down at the bottom of the tank and I cleaned the filter. Apparently, it was allowing just enough fuel through to let the car run for only a few minutes. After I cleaned that filter, I never had a problem again.
Exactly. NO FUEL = NO ( or only a little) RUNNING.
In the spirit of goodwill toward a customer who has stated several times he really likes the tractor but doesn't like the problem, I believe it would benefit LS greatly (at least among farmers and homesteaders) to replace the current tractor with a new one and put customer satisfaction above the $$$ for a change.
Unlike previous generation engines these engines will not tolerate running at low RPM for work Duty Cycles. In order for the regen system to work properly these engines have to be ran at a high RPMs with a definite load on the engine in order to create higher temperatures for the engine regen system to work properly. In other words no Putt-Putt around the homestead. Keep engine RPM up high, and if ground speed is too fast choose a lower gear.
Hogwash buddy the tractor was just junk period
Thank you for this honest and fair assessment. I’m in the market for a new tractor right now and I’ve just crossed LS off my list.
As the owner of a German Diesel shop I can see a few things. One, the DPF is trying to regen, You need to let it do its thing. Not turn the RPM down or shut it off. Next, fuel tank is chronically low. Why? It's horribly bad for it. That can starve the high pressure fuel pump and injectors, damaging them. If you run these modern common rail systems out of fuel a few times you will destroy them. Check the fuel filter for plugging. Also look for shiny metal. That's the pump coming apart. The only solution for this is to replace everything and clean the tank and lines of the debris. The fuel rail screen can plug and cause the stalling, too. I don't know what filter system they use but I'd be putting a remote 2 micron system on it without a doubt. It's clearly stalling when it demands more fuel and loads up.
you have the right attitude. your calm. keep doing what your doing. you have been more than patient. I hope they step up and do the right thing. I was.considering purchasing an LS. i think I'm educated a little.more about LS now. good luck.
im shopping for a brand new tractor and this video helps, thank you
I have been shopping tractors myself... guess I know one to eliminate ....
One of the hardest lessons I ever learned is you never fire someone too soon.
When you have an employee with a drinking or other problem that won't deal with it.
Too many missed Mondays and its over. This tractor has a case of the Mondays, real bad.
Bless you Sir,,, you definitely have patience, all the est on your journey...
Chuck in Michigan
Please forgive if this has already been covered: Appears to me that, at Regen, the tractor is not being run at 2000 RPM which, I believe, is the required R's to bring the engine up to sufficient temperature for the Regen function to operate. It is also apparent that the machine is generally run at VERY low RPM (basically, the Turtle setting on the hand throttle control), hence engine is trying to run cold. Obviously, this comment only covers a part of what you are dealing with. That said, you first need t be able to keep the tractor engine running at top efficiency of all the rest doesn't matter.
Hello Danny & Wanda, from Afghanistan.. Can't wait to be home and watch your channel more regularly. Miss your channel and the wonderful people that comment. Sorry about your tractor Danny. Take care and may God continue to Bless you both!
Gosh, Danny and Wanda! LS should be profoundly embarrassed and ashamed by the product they've stuck you with. I hope all of these YT comments are seen by the folks in charge and insist that they "make it right". Make them take back that lemon and give you a new tractor, or a full refund; don't bother to shake a hand when you leave, they don't deserve it!!! Rock on brother!
I had a LS XG3025 that had the same oil leak issue that your 2nd LS Tractor had. I was going to upgrade the the LS XR3135 but my dealer dropped the LS brand and started selling Kubota. They bought back the LS XG3025 and I bought a Kubota L2501 to replace it. The Kubota didn't have the bells and whistles like the LS but I have had it for a year and not 1 single problem. These videos are making me feel good about my decision to change brands. Good luck with getting this resolved.
If your state has lemon laws I would see if it covers tractors, if it does you should be able to get a new tractor.
Also the company needs to know that your videos are the first that came up for me when I did a search....that can't be good.....for them!
I suspect that they just don't care ! They will still sell them to unsuspecting buyers.
Oh my, you are patient! I got frustrated watching all the times you had to restart it lol. May they make it right for you.
I’m sensing a little bit of Winnebago Man energy in this video.
I'm not a service tech, so you may have already tried these things. Check fuel pump , connections, fuel pressure, also check all safty switches , like the pressure switch on the seat. Also check the main starting switch. The switch on the seat that keeps the tractor running when you are sitting on it , but also turns tractor off if you leave the seat can cause the problem . Also a newholand service tech may be able to help with ideas .
You have the patience of a saint...... i would have burned that junk in front of the dealership.
Danny thanks for being transparent and your willingness to share your struggles with this particular tractor. I own a 4wd 32 horse Cub Cadet/Yanmar with front end loader...basically a rebadged John Deere. The tractor is a little smaller than I like an sometimes just doesn't have the ooomph that I need. However, it does well for what it is designed to do. With all of that being said I was contemplating making a purchase of a larger tractor and you guess it....LS was the manufacturer I was looking at. Some of what was guiding me in that direction was the fact you had chosen one. Now that you have shared all of these negative but very honest reviews I have completely put LS out of the running for a future purchase. It looks like John Deere and Kubota are back on the menu of choice. Take care my Brother and I hope all works our for you and Miss Wanda.
Small John Deere tractors are re-badged Yanmars, not the other way around.
All those bells and whistles are great BUT if it doesn't run....
sorry for your trouble Danny..I hope and pray you get a new tractor sir
God bless and good luck my prayers are with you
I don’t know much about tractors but I do know you are the most patient person I have ever ever seen. They should be doing everything they can for you! You need a NEW tractor 🚜 ASAP 🙏.
Sorry about your troubles...... That tractor dies like the commercials interrupt your vblogs videos. Plays 30 seconds and then stops. You're a saint for keeping your cool.
You have a lot more patience than I do. I got rid of one of a different color last year with about 55-60 hrs for a reoccurring problem. Told them to get it off my property. I hope you are properly compensated.
You are one patient man. WOW!
I have the same tractor with the cab that I purchased last November. I have not been able to use it much because it rains every day. I sure hope I'm not in for what you have been going through. I chose the LS exactly for the same reasons you went over in the video. It is the best equipped and most comfortable for the money that I could find. Most reviews praise the brand. I hope LS does the right thing and replaces yours with a new tractor. I wish you the best.
@Tsunauticus III were looking at a L6060 with a loader and bucket and forks and snowblower to replace the boomer wich LS is made pretty near by newholland wich we had nothing but issues with the newholland boomer wich were never gonna get another one ever again wich the stupid thing keeps dieing and breaking down in the middle of the town when it was brand new wich were glad replacing it with a kubota L6060
I'm in the market for my first tractor. Your videos along with other's of their LS tractor problems have given me invaluable warning to not walk but run away from LS tractors and clones with other brand names on them. Thanks.
Hello, i am also in the market for my first new tractor. What tractor brand did you end up going with if i may ask?
@@ranchitosantos5165 John Deere. It came down to having a great JD dealer very close by with an excellent sales guy not just for the tractor itself but additional implements I bought over time.
@@frankivey960 awesome! Congratulations!!
I just came across your videos and I hope by now you got it fixed, I hope it's an easy fix, good luck buddy.
I'm currently in the market for another small tractor. Now that I seen your videos about the tractor and the service you're getting from the company, I now know what brand of tractor to 'not get'. Thank you for the videos.
Kubota everyone else is a rebranded tractor
Starcruiser Rob, The Yanmar tractors are built by Yanmar of Japan. They used to build the compact and sub-compact tractors for John Deere but Deere switched from them and now only the Yanmar engine is in a compact or sub-compact Deere tractor, don’t know where the rest of tractor is made.
Danny,this is so aggravating, my wife is upset just watching. I have heard you say, I love my tractor manly times, so you are open to a fix. As a LS owner, at you recommendation I sure hope LS does the right thing. It is important for there future and reputation.
By listening to the engine at periodic rpm's, through out the video, it seems to me it could be a bad injection pump. It knocks and raps like it starves for fuel. Injection pumps tend to be very expensive to rebuild or replace. Also after this much time the injectors, most likely, have been damaged. That would explain why you would always get it back in an un-usable condition.
Evidently the dealer can't fix it. It's time to get another tractor. You have a lot of patience and your dealer has tried. But to no avail. Good luck and keep us posted.
I have a 2015 XG3037 with the tier3 engine and it has been nicer to me then I've been to it!
I wish I had all those nice options that you showed us on the rear of your tractor.
I wish you luck and hope they get all the bugs out of your unit so you can get all the use out of it.... Or it would be nice if they take it back and make things rite buy you.
Sent this to LS
I own a Kubota L3750 with 5000 hours on it. LA 900 loader. . I also have some smaller Deeres.
After seeing how you treat the Deep South Video producer I will scratch LS off my list of possible replacements.
PS My Kubota dealer is going to use those LS videos by Deep South Homestead as a sales tool.
I was looking at the LS machines when I was researching tractors to buy, but the dealer didn't have the size I wanted on the lot and I was afraid of issues like this. Plus there wasn't many options for repair facilities in my area. I ended up picking a Kubota!
That's a lot of nice features.
Cheaper price with more options but wont run! Makes all the extras worthless!
daniel crowe you are rite. You took the words out of my mouth. It’s a cheap pile
@@Wanous-hv7zo agreed.. very happy I bought a Kubota . Although it has its problems too
Yes!!!!!!!!Agree!!!!!!1
where looking into a new compact tractor and kubota L6060 wich were planing to get
@@John-ls6hz yeah odd little issues but it's way alot easyier to fix and easy acess to and has good 6 year warranty covers it plus parts are cheaper and best service
I have an XR 3037 and I love it. It does everything that I want.
Have a XR4046H just about 500hrs and have had a bad seat switch and broken fan belt. Been satisfied and dealer has been good. Agree, like all the options, not thrilled with DPF stuff but knock on wood it has operated with no problems at this point. Serviced all filters/oils with no issues. This does sound like a lemon, hope LS steps up, good dealer is essential.
Found a couple comments like this on Tractorbynet: ( F11 code is the sensors on the DPS not reading properly and sending the CPU false readings. Basically there is a patch for the software that must be installed. This will make the sensors communicate properly with the CPU. We have had 1 4100 series LS do this. After downloading the patch and installing it to the tractors CPU we ran it through several forced regens with no issue.....). Another person said they had the same problem and it took a 30 min. computer download to fix it. But that may not be the same problem as you're having. I do like the features on that tractor. Hope you can get it fixed or they cooperate on a replacement. Wish you the best
See if it has a 2 horse attachment so they can pull it..
On the hunt for my 3rd tractor, checked out ls today after owning 2 kubota's. I couldn't get to the kubota dealer fast enough. $8000 dollar difference between a 35hp ls and kubotas grand l3560 and worth every penny. I will be buying the grand l3560. You are definitely a patient individual, at least in your video's. I hope everything worked out for you.
At least you have your tractor. Miy LS has been in the dealer shop for 5 months with no end in site. Pitiful service
I think I will buy a Kubota👍
LS must mean “ Lousy Shit”😂
I feel bad. I had an LS for 4 years 33hp and worked it hard about every day. Never had a hiccup. Great Tractor. Sorry.
I have the same tractor. Like it for all the same reasons you pointed out, PLUS it is so much more heavy duty then others I've looked at, and I'm a Deere guy. But also had the same problems you are having, exactly. Found out a couple things is the grounds at the battery to chassis and another ground under the dash by the fuse block had paint under them. Cleaned just like someone before me said. The stalling was fixed unless it went to long to regen. Then twice to the dealer and it turned out we just were not doing the regen correctly and long enough. If it shuts off or is shut off in the middle of a regen it may fault and needs to continue to regen when started again. Best to get the rpm to 2k and let it run, get an iced tea and a cookie or two and watch it do its thing. Dealer told us about it when we bought it but I didn't think it was so critical. Worst part like most equipment now days is it has to go back to the dealer to have the code reset and clear the memory. Like some before me said, keep the rpm up when using it in lower gears and it will regen less, but let it completely regen. Also there is a switch to cancel regen like when you cannot let it or hit two switches at once to make it regen such as at the end of a day so it can do it hot. Since we have done the correct order of regen, there have been no problems. Sometimes just hit the regen when you don't need it for a cycle and before you shut it off. Hope this helps you a little. Again, I just really like everything else about this tractor.
Thanx for this vid! We are looking to buy a new tractor,and this is good to know! Why are here 19 dislikes?
Just picked up a kioti! Love it!
Check the fuel injector boost pump. That is electric pump that boost from the tank to the injection pump. This pump could be intermittently working.
My thoughts also. Fuel filter "cloged" and trying to burn "rot-gut" fuel. Besides the "lift pump". SO ELEMENTARY & SO SIMPLE. This happens ALL the time!! To me NO more , because l Triple filer the fuel, Flush ALL the fuel out chasing it with fresh like once a year or when ANY problem starts.
I really like the added no-cost features that tractor has, but I couldn't/wouldn't put up with that constant shutting off when trying to work. You have more patience than me!
When you got the tractor I was considering purchasing one as well. However now
I'm looking for a good used 1968 Ford 3000! At least they run, no computer and implements are easy to find.
I did see a video a couple of days ago where another homestead had the same tractor and actually had not had any issues. I'll see if I can find that video and post a link.
Nice tractor, I like.
I chose a kubota b2650 with cab heat and ac. Its turned up to almost 30 hp, originally 26. I use it hard and has a little over 200 hours on it. NO ISSUES and never been back to the dealer. Get what you pay for.
Wow Danny that tractor has a nice shade of blue to it. That’s about all I can say about it. That is Insane that it’s been in the shop that many times and over such a long period of time and it still has the same problems. It seems like the issue would be electrical but maybe the throttle cable is bad in some way and/or the fuel filter needs changed. I do know that on trucks with the new fuel regen this has been a problem with them too. If the regen doesn’t register with the computer it will go into limp mode or can kill the truck. Possibly a sensor as I had a pickup that left me stranded late at night on the side of the highway in the winter. It was a faulty sensor that said the exhaust was too hot and killed the engine. If you haven’t looked those error codes up in the owners manual or tried to google them I would do so. I hope you can get this resolved and if you do and end up keeping this tractor I think I would tell LS to put a new starter on it. That’s a lot of cranking on a tractor that low of hours. Good luck and I’ll see if I can leave LS an email for you.
Oh man that thing would surely test my patience.
Wow! No other words! Loved the LS and almost bought one! Praying they treat you well Danny!
It's a pretty tractor !
I'm a grain farmer in Indiana. Your videos are very interesting. I really hope you can get the tractor fixed or the bulk of your investment back. My brother (35HP) my Dad (70HP) and myself (45HP) had Three small New Holland utility tractors we used on the farm and Never had a problem over a 10 year period. Five years ago we all traded for Kubota products and are very happy with no issues. The regen on my dads tractor has worked perfect. My 5740 Kubota had 400 hrs when I traded for it and now has 1000 hrs. never had a problem. I think you would be more satisfied with a very nice low hour used pre Regen Tractor from New Holland, Kubota, John Deere or Case. Seems like the LS, Branson, Montana, Kioti, products can have some issues. I'm assume they have all made some good and some bad. The Regen is what's causing most of the problems with modern tractors. I wish you Luck.
LS makes tractors sold branded as Case IH, CLAAS, Farmtrac, LS, McCormick, Montana, and New Holland. Several you mentioned are identical other than color.
Golly you are so patient people. , Time to claim insurance loss ,
get this man his tractor right.
I'm buying one regardless. LS here we come.
My goodness, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Perhaps you should start sending them a bill for having used you for a guinea pig or test subject for their equipment. I would have lost it y now!! On a side note, I remember having a lawn tractor that when I believe the oil tilted to a certain degree going over rough terrain it would register that it was low and shut the engine off. Bet it would be a great tractor if all the computer gizmo stuff wasn't there. My thought and prayers are with y'all.
I hope you get your money back and get one that works good! I though these things only happen to me!
Hello, something easy to check, the wiring for the Killswitch under your seat. And you’re a light man it could be adjustment also. You may have already checked it but thought I would mention it just in case. Blessings!
Danny I just hope you get what you need for what you need to do. Here's to hoping for a positive response!
I will never buy a new tractor of any brand since mine works. Every time. I wonder how much emissions they save while being constantly taken to the shop.
You are a better man than I am. No way that I could deal with the problems you are going through in a civilized manner.
Your patience my friend is over whelming "heap up abundantly", I should have been a your student growing up, for I would have been, just about boiling over. A Kioti 2610 or pickup a CK-30 Kioti. Orange is great when you park your tractor in the tall corn field, ya can find it the next day!. LOL
Thanks for sharing
Keep doing videos. You do a great job and speak very well. Maybe some videos on carpentry? Good luck with the tractor.
It seems it would be in LS's best interest if they replace this lemon.
I had a 55 hp LS tractor. (in the thumbnail) My dealer was 125 miles away, and I was in the Colorado mountains, so it wasn't easy to to get it to them to work on. It was in the shop 4 times in the first 2 years for similar issues. They finally got it fixed after trying all sorts of things and excuses. If I remember correctly what finally fixed it was a sensor that was close to the fuel pump and may have had something to do with fuel pressure, but it has been long enough ago that I can't remember for sure.
My life and work circumstances changed so I had to get rid of the tractor. I'm glad to be rid of it. I don't have much good to say about the tier 4 machines, LS or otherwise. I think the epa has ruined things for diesel manufacturers and consequently their patrons. I still own a 12 year old Kioti 30 hp gear drive tractor with a small back hoe. It always starts and runs and hasn't given me a lick of trouble since I bought it new. No smog crap, just the basics. Runs a long time on a tank of gas and does everything I have asked of it. Hope they will take that lemon back from you. You seem much more patient that I was.
Rod M you are CORRECT!
The politicians (elected by the great unwashed masses) forces the manufacturers to produce crap they normally wouldn’t do. So much for capitalism. We get the government we deserve.
Definitely a fuel issue among possibly some more
Makes me appreciate the Ford 8n
I was very attracted to all the features but glad I went with a Kubota; almost 3000 hrs and zero problem.
Kubota had and has the same issues with their 3350 model. Lots of online information about it and it still isn't fixed. It isn't a model issue so much as a Tier 4 issue.
Running high rpms for an extended period using more fuel in order to create less emissions makes typical government sense.
Somewhere bad fuel is the issue, its gelled in the tank. I had a John Deere and had the same issue. I had John Deere fix it, they worked on the computer and cleaned the tank because mold was in the tank. A few months later I had the same issues again, I cleaned out the tank again. A few weeks later after running the tractor for a while it did the same thing. I believe the whole system in my tractor is contaminated. Highway fuel is better than off-road most of the time, the only difference is the dye in the fuel. Most of the time off-road fuel sets up longer at your local store than highway fuel. Low Suffer FUEL sucks now!
Dan, you have been more patient than any one person should. We pay good money for these work machines, expecting them to work when needed. But technology is not our friend anymore, especially with computers at the heart. Tractors at one time (pre-computer) were reliable, hardworking machines that would last a lifetime, especially if regularly maintained. This LS XR3135 from what I see, appears to be a good tractor mechanically, but has a "Lemon" computer. LS should have replaced the computer after their second visit. If problems reoccurred, a new XR3135 should have been offered, or money back. Now you have two major problems, one, it's unreliable, two, LS or LS dealer is showing they are not a good company, and not willing to stand behind their product. These are work machines, and if don't work when needed, are worthless. Being extremely patient and understanding to this company is not working. Time for action my friend! I wish you all the best.
Nothing runs like a deere. You aren't just paying for the green paint. Good tractors aren't cheap and cheap tractors aren't good. It's that simple
Every time I see your videos there are different fault codes on the dash. Not one consistent one but many different ones. Your problems seem like it may stem from poor grounds. I have seen many pieces of equipment that I work on with grounds that are attached and then painted over. What happens is the paint will get in between the ground wire and the part it is bolted to causing high resistance between the connection which will cause a lot of different problems that happen randomly and typically will get worse as the piece of equipment ages and heats up. You may want to see if LS has a service bulletin out for this issue. I have seen other manufactures come out with similar bulletins. The fix is to simply remove the grounds clean the connections, remove the paint at the grounding points and reinstall. If you have had the wiring harness replaced but the problem is still there it may be due to the fact that they didn't clean the ground points before reinstalling the new harness and just bolted the ground right back over the painted ground point.
amen brother,, had a d11r in coal mine low hr. machine just gave us fits intermittent, factory was involved just a problem machine . finally young fellow I work with had that same idea as you and that was it. that d11r ate a lot of dollars... ohio cat his name was jay g good young mechanic .

Lord sir you have the patience of Jobe
Yeah the dealer you bought from should just swap you out. The LS dealer has company reps that work directly for LS that would support that if they was worth anything at all.
I also have an LS tractor. I have the XG3135. Its the same tractor as yours with less bells and whistles. I only have about 50 hours so far. I haven't had any problems with mine yet except some shudder when I raise the 3 point. Anyway I have the LS code list. The last code you threw was the F11 1221. Here is what the code list says it is. 1221 11 P061B "ECU - Zero Torque Monitoring fault". Don't know what exactly that is but hopefully your dealer can answer that. If you want I can email you a PDF of the codes. I have been told that it is very bad to keep these tractors at idle so much. They should be ran at a minimum of 1500-1800rpms. 2000rpms is optimal(Of course 2600rpms if running the PTO). Lower RPMs can really cause some malfunctions with the emissions garbage.
I think your a prime candidate for the lemon law. Your LS dealer need to replace it with a new one,are pro rate you for time you were actually able to use it.And reimburse you your money back.Your tractor has some nice features on it, but it ain't worth a flip if you can't depend on it.Thats my thoughts.You've been very patient with these people.I would have gone the same way.Good luck brother.And my wife and I will keep ya'll in our prayers so thing will work out for the best.
I'm looking to get a new tractor and it will not be an LS, thanks for sharing that this company does take care of their obligations.
Our mahindra did same thing it was a screen in the fuel tank came lose .
LS tractor needs to either fix or replace your tractor Danny. It is a shame that a company will sell a tractor and not be able to repair the problems that come up. HEY LS, if you can't fix it give the man a new machine! He needs it on his homestead to get his work done that is why he bought it.
