I just bought almost the same exact tractor except the 30 hp model. Did you have your back tires filled. I did, that adds 1600 pounds of ballast. Thanks for the video. Going to grease mine today.
Tractor manufacturers usually spec the lifting capacity at one spot (very close to the inside of the bucket). So whereas your load center is about in the middle of the forks, the tractor did well and may have exceeded the manufacturer specs. I have an XJ2025 and have been very impressed with things I can move around.
I appreciate your willingness to learn on the fly. Whatever background you do have has helped you to think logically and to solve problems methodically. Good job. I've had my LS 25HP for about 4 years now with no complaints.
I've had my LS for over 2yrs now and still love it. If you don't have your rear tires filled with liquid ballast, you'd be amazed the difference that makes. Also, a ballast box isn't very expensive and you can load a ton of weight to counter the front weight. Gives you a much more stable ride when hauling stuff on the front.
I’m sure the LS will be just fine if you take care of it. I am certainly no expert either, but I have learned a lot during the first 110 hours of using my Kioti. (I could not afford JD or Kubota either.). Everything I have heard and seen says best practice is to grease your loader every 10 hours of use. 50 is a tad bit long. Stay safe!
❤the animal names, good job kids😊. No fault not knowing about the drought, sure you're not the only one. Hope prices for hay hasn't sky rocketed too in price. Hard to not get attached to animals you raise. GOOD LUCK TO Y'ALL!
