Let me Start it off by saying I am on my 2nd LS Tractor. I have the 3033 Then bought the MT 240e for a little more Muscle. I’m sold on them. I researched every Tractor and combination on the Planet and chose the LS. I make a living with it. We do Grading, sloping, retaining walls, Sod installation, Fescue, driveways, fences, concrete, stonework and more. Never had a problem with either Tractor. For the money it is a Fantastic Tractor and great performance. 🚜

That is awesome Mark! Thanks for sharing that! 👍 🚜

Looks like LS is serving you and your family farm well, CJ. Tractor hard! 👍

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

They've been great tractors for the whole family Brad! 👍🚜

[@davidhepler6224]

Thanks for the video. I bought an XR 4145 45 horse tractor in 2018 with 350 hours on it. Zero problems! It has treated us well.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

That is great to hear Dave! My dealer told me that the XR series is one that hardly ever comes back to his shop 👍

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great videos on the LS Tractor !!! Thanks for sharing with us CJ, stay safe around there and keep up the good work. Fred.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Thanks Fred! Take care ol buddy! 👍🚜

[@davidhaskins9457]

Hope this video convinces some folks just how good these tractors are, I bought my XR4150 Oct of 2019 I just turned 400 hrs it's been an awesome tractor, love the cab, I could operate it in a tee shirt on a 10 degree day the heater is awesome, hey CJ aren't you getting a cab on the next tractor you got coming from LS?

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Thanks for sharing that Dave! Yes the next tractor will have a cab! Still working on the details but it should be coming soon! 👍🚜

[@jburch1544]

Have a 4046H 800hrs with very little problems. LS needs to ensure they keep dealer network supported and healthy.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Yes I agree.. I know every brand has dealt with issues getting parts and tractors. But I will say I have seen a big difference in people commenting they are happy with their LS dealer than when I first started this channel 5 years ago 👍🚜

[@lodilogistic5089]

I have the MT 347 and I love it. Even tho my dealer is hours away, I had no problems getting it to them and getting it fixed for issues under warranty. I’d buy another one if I could.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Thanks for sharing that buddy! And that's good to hear that your dealer fixed it under warranty too 👍🚜

[@johnjaymesgreatadventures4503]

What type of warranty issues have you had?

[@lodilogistic5089]

@@johnjaymesgreatadventures4503 a camshaft sensor,hydraulic hose busted and computer reflashed for sporadic code show up and go away while I was using it. Since then I’ve had zero issues.

[@mossman7527]

Really like the LS tractor video, yes I’d buy another also MT345E 236 hours and zero problems love this tractor. I had a John deer 4020 power shift also a great tractor but this LS will do circles around it for what I need

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Great to hear man! Pretty neat to know it would do circles around the John Deere too 👍🚜

[@KevinPurdie]

You had two different classes of Tractors, JD 4020 is a row-crop tractor were as the LS is Compact, if you took the LS out to the field and hooked to a 14ft disc or 4 bottom plow the 4020 would run circles around it.

[@mossman7527]

@@KevinPurdie that is true

[@KevinPurdie]

@@mossman7527 hope you didn’t sell, those older tractors are going up in value.

[@mossman7527]

@@KevinPurdie I did, just don’t have the money to repair it plus keep a berry farm going had to make hard decisions on where money went😞

[@PasoGirl7]

Currently considering the LS MT335HC. We would only get 2 implements in our package. 6’ mower and box blade. Trying to decide. We spoke at length with the Kioti dealer and they’re throwing another implement in plus a block heater, rim guard. The Kioti is a 25hp.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Where do you live? I'm in Ohio and keep mine in an unheated garage. I have never needed a block heater even when it gets down to 0 degrees.

[@PasoGirl7]

Colorado at 7100ft. We get blizzards and below zero here and snow removal of big drifts is a regular winter job.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

@PasoGirl7 oh ok yeah you need a block heater haha

[@jaygyver7213]

I didn't think I would buy another tractor as my JD770 I've had since new was fine, took a little longer to do things but it's a great tractor. Was leaning towards Kabota as JD I felt was leaning towards a "locked in" proprietary life. Turns out I bought a new '21 MT235He and couldn't be happier. I had to wait quite a bit for the accessories I ordered but its been a great tractor. Ended up putting 250hrs on it last year and not even a groan from it and i moved a horrendous amount of stumps, logs and rounds with it.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Wow that's great! 250 hours in a year..man I wish I could do that lol

[@jaygyver7213]

@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse Yeah, first year of retirement I told the wife was MINE! Well that we had cut or pulled down at least 2 dozen good size trees the year before around the house and had to get it cleaned up. Worked almost morning till dark all summer to get it done, thank goodness we had an awesome summer here last year. Had the wife on the JD770 helping me and even put another 140hrs on that one. I think I probably only averaged maybe 40 or 50 hrs a year on the JD before this. LOL

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

That is great! Congratulations on your retirement 👏

How much electronic are on the engine? TYM only has a DPF computer, engine is 100% mechanical

Yes sir! 👍🚜

[@tonyharper8056]

If you are in the market for a 573 with 29 hrs on it please let me know I’m in western Pa

[@GoodWorksFarm]

I got an MT235 in Oct 2023. I've been plagued with problems, mostly the S27-F08 fault related to the EGR system. The problems started around 18 hours. Dealer is 90 miles from me, so getting the machine there is no small task. The dealer had it for almost a month, I just got it back this week and the fault came back, the machine went thru 2 full regen cycles 3 hours apart. That makes 4 regens with in 70 hours... doesn't seem normal to me. Would I buy another one? I'm fairly disappointed with this one so far, considering I was going to get the MT 225 and the dealer talked me into the larger machine saying that the emissions system would be trouble free. Maybe I should cut my losses and get a Green or Orange machine...

[@donniebargo964]

I love my LS tractor. I like it so good that I just bought another brand New mt573 c. I have put 600 hours on my mt225e I pull a 2 bottom massy Ferguson plow or a international. 2 bottom. They are simple reliable and easy to maintain. I have farmed all my life I have Massey Ferguson international John Deere every brand of tractor you can think of I have on. For what I paid and the quality I got ALS is the best there is in the United States right now on quality and price

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Great to hear Donnie! What model was your first one?

[@donniebargo964]

Mt225e bought it new at Morgan's in Corbin Kentucky. It is extremely effective for it's size and heavy. Replace a John Deere 3035 r with this one it out weighed the Deere by about 300 lbs and I pull a 2 bottom 12 or 14 with the LS that I couldn't pull with the Deere.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Nice!

[@Assamjcb]

Nice Tractor

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

They've all been great so far! 👍

[@ArcherHHS]

If I would have had a dealer closer I would have considered an LS but wasn't in the cards. The closest "big" dealer was 80 miles away.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Yeah that's a little hike.. what did you end up getting?

[@ArcherHHS]

@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse we bought a Branson 3015H in October. So far we love it.

[@houstonbrown3450]

Who makes the engine,

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

They make a lot of their own engines, but some models also use Yanmar

[@morrismonet3554]

They're Ok, but there are plenty of reasons why they are not nearly as widely used as Kubota.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

My family has had Kubotas too. They are good tractors, but my pet peeve with them is that any replacement parts you need for them are so expensive. I studied a lot of brands and ended up feeling for me that LS was the best bang for the money 👍

[@PasoGirl7]

We ran the numbers and the LS, total paid out, will cost us more than the Kioti. 🙃

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

But you were also looking at a LS with 10 more HP right?

[@PasoGirl7]

Yes, 35hp vs 25hp. Fewer implements out the door and $4K more paid out over the terms of financing. People tend to speak of LS as a lower class of tractor and this is what we’re trying to figure out. Is this because of marketing/branding or does LS’ track record put it below JD, Kubota and Kioti?

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

@@PasoGirl7 LS is the same company who have been making tractors for Case and New Holland for years. LS is the same tractor as those without the big name on the side. 👍
