I’m a dealer in Upstate NY and we are just as close to train tracks!! I can’t tell you how many times a day I have to wait for the train to pass before continuing on with my conversation.

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

They never go by unless I'm with a customer or trying to do some video

[@wishkah4369]

Our tracks here are busy and located very close to the hospital too! That's where all 3 of my boys where born. lol. very noisy. @@HomesteadBandwagon

Great video with great info! WOW the air pressure is LOW in the front tires on the tractor on the right (R-17s)! I am sure you noticed. :)

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

Yeah. I couldn't figure out why my guys had it parked in back...

[@JersAutoRepair]

The new ll1700 & lb1700 Look like the same exact loader & back hoe that’s used on Massey Ferguson 1725mb. But painted blue.

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

I belive that Alo is owned by Massey

[@andyelliott3977]

Nice video. Would love to see a detailed comparison between the MT125 and the MT225s. Only a few manufacturers offer one the size of the M225s.

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

I can certainly do that!

[@donaldstrishock3923]

My "Good-Man" there is a "Slight-miscalculation " on the Loader articulation CHARACTERISTIC's. Where as the "old-style" HAS "Amplifying Bucket-linkage assembly's " giving IT, WAY MORE up&down dump&curl cycling& the "New-style " does NOT( with the direct cylinders); Thus it tilts up & down MORE ,with the "old style. Where as the "new-style " backhoe attachment is BETTER than the older style with more angler "swing". Just a Bunch of " Pros-Cons" with Each one! Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

Dunno. I just copied and pasted the specs from the manufacturer

[@terrytate6006]

great video

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

Thanks!

[@javabean215]

Good info! Just for giggles, could you buy the "old" metal hose cover and use it on the new loader, or are the torque tubes/standoff bolt spacing different sizes? Same sort of question for the bucket level indicator, too.

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

I'd bet a feller could make something work! We'll be fiddlin with them in the near future to get them up to snuff!

[@javabean215]

@@HomesteadBandwagon One thing I've been pleased to see from LS is the level of feedback they address. Mallard5 beta tested one of the new MT2s, and they seem to have taken all of his feedback (and it was only little things, nothing big was needed). I'd bet if they get customer feedback on these items, they'll address it pretty quickly

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

Indeed. We had an issue with some little stuff in the past, and they were all over it!

[@bradleywellner8387]

Same guage steel for both loader buckets or does one seem lighter or thinner than the other?

[@mitch95722]

I have a New Holland LS25s and I don't have the bucket leveler, I have to get something like that. The sweep on the old backhoe is almost too fast! Compared to the other functions it catches me all the time😅

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

It'll almost toss ya from the seat when it snaps over and hits the stops!

[@kismisperang9422]

does america have Cholima tractor?

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

Nope. Never heard of them!

[@bobconner422]

Assemble in the USA i highly doubt it is all made in the USA

[@HomesteadBandwagon]

As I said in the video, the loader is made in the USA. The bucket is from China, but that's kinda par for the course these days.
