BAD TRACTOR BRAND? | LS Tractor 100 Hour Review And Would A LS Tractor Be A Good Fit For You? 

As I am that sub I would say that CJ is right. LS backed my tractor 100% when the dealer did not. ( THANKS CJ)

I own my LS xj2025h tractor for 3 years going on 4. I have had no complaints on this rig,and I am here to tell you,I work this Lil machine hard, it's has done everything I have asked from it and more. I love this little guy. I would definitely recommend this tractor for the home owner. When the time comes, I would buy another ls tractor in a heartbeat!!!

I made a similar video about my XR4145C. You only really hear the negative about the lemons. It's always nice to see real owners talk about the things they love about the LS line of tractors. It really does hold up to the more mainstream lines. My dealer has been hit or miss, but mostly hit. No complaints about them whatsoever. Good Video! Love it. Two thumbs up!

My LS 55hp HST tractor with cab, backup camera, 3 point snowblower, front bucket with added grapple and quick connect bale spear comes to my House Monday, I am so stoked, I told the wife already if she can't get a hold of me after Monday just look for the tractor because weather you like it or not we are going to be polyamorous and the tractor is my Poly!

Just want to say thank you. After seeing some of those other videos, I was staying away from LS. The things you said about the other's problems made sense and the fact you still love yours after 2yrs made me rethink it. I ended up getting the LS 3035HC mostly because it's a lot more tractor for less money than the JDs I was looking at. I've only had it a few months, but I love it so far and have no regrets. I found an amazing dealer who came out to my house and fixed a bone-head mistake I made and even gave me a discount. I'm glad your video was here to help me make that decision.

It's simple, but I really like how they put the owner's manual behind the seat. It's right where you want it when you need it! I've never seen that before.

Great video. I have an LS 33 HP. About 340 hours. No problems. I enjoy my Tractor. Looking to get a bigger one. Yes I would also buy another LS. Mark.

Glad to see a review on the LS tractors. Just started seeing them up here in the north central Wisconsin the last couple of years. Will have to check in to them more . Many thanks, take care.

Great review CJ! That tractor sure has served you well, it has been a work horse for sure! Thanks for taking us along, take care buddy!

good honest review . My boomer 41 LS Newholland is almost same tractor other than the loader . The regen is great too . Very quiet clean tractor and never goes into limp mode . Just keep working it while regen is on . This tractor just keeps amazing me what it can lift and traction also in worst conditions . Potential tractor purchasers should take the time too test drive one and check out the features for the dollar . They will be pleasantly surprised 👍

I have owned a XG3025 for 2 yrs now. I bought the tractor new after Hurricane Michael in 2018, at Masters Farm Supply in Altha, FL. The tractor has been amazing and is capable of lifting more than it is rated for. I currently have 320+ hours on it with no problems. I use a grapple, bucket, box blade, landscape rake, hay spear, and a 9" auger. I only wish I had bought the grapple earlier, that thing is amazing. My dealer is great and always treats me well. They delivered my tractor to the house free of charge, about an hour away. I would most definitely purchase another LS tractor. Mine does not have the regen, or DEF, which was one of the reasons I went with the 25 hp. It is plenty strong for my use, I have 8 acres, 1 acre is wooded and I am working on clearing it myself with the LS tractor.

Thank you. I like your honesty and authenticity. What you say makes sense, especially about customer service. I subscribed. Whoa! So I'm typing this about a minute short of the end and I see the James 1:17 quote. I strongly agree with that quote and appreciate you posting that.

I am sure glad for you that your dealer is taking care of you. I made the mistake of buying from Wright Tractor in Oklahoma City. We haven't had any major issues with our LS XU6158C. But they have flat out lied to us a couple times so far on just providing what they said they would provide in our deal with them. We live in New Mexico. They offered a great deal on a demo. That was the only good part. The delivery guy tried to get more money. Then, We couldn't put delivery in the deal because Cecil from Wright Tractor said he forgot to put it in the financing. That was cash out of pocket we had to pay, and being retired, that hurt. Then, the Cecilsaid he would give us our first filters. He said he sent them, we never got them. Then, a wiper fluid tank rotted away. He said he would replace it, no problem. Never got it. Now he doesn't answer any emails. We are hugely worried that if we ever need warranty work done, they will do the same. I want to sell it now, just because of the crappy lying from our dealer. The tractor has been a life savor due to our snow issues. We just pray it doesn't break.

Good video and value CJ. My nearest LS Dealership is in Waynesburg Pa. About two hours away. I'm very impressed with what I have seen you do with your tractor. My J. Deere came with two rear remotes, course i had to pay extra. You got alot of bells and whistles that came standard. Thats a lot of value. If i ever trade up i would definitely consider a LS tractor. Besides the fact that blue happens to be my favorite color. Haha. Thanks CJ

Good video, thanks for sharing. I have a 2018 LS xg3025 thats been awesome. Had a small bx kobota for 20 years and it was a good machine. Needed bigger and LS was about $4000 less than an equivalent kobota. Running a 7' snow plow up front with a 7' rear grader blade. Would absolutely buy LS again.

I’d Consider a LS in the future when I’m looking to buy my next tractor 👍 videos like this is exactly what I need to see to help make my mind up too. LS should sponsor you!

The people at LS corporate are super helpful

I've had my LS for a year now and have almost 200 hours on it with no issues. From many of the vids I've seen, I've been fortunate to have excellent dealer support. I was a little nervous about buying an LS because of a few negative vids. But most of those were 2 or 3 years old and my dealers explained what LS had done to correct those issues. As for the tractor, I'd wanted a New Holland Boomer for several years, then discovered LS makes that line for New Holland. There are some minor cosmetic differences but LS's price tag was over $8000 cheaper, without sacrificing quality. I've had no issues and no regrets about chosing LS.

Great video 👍 That LS is a great tractor and it's well planned out as far as the tank placement, levers, switches, etc.. just like a New Holland 😉. I like running the Howe's in our tractors tanks. Thanks for sharing.

I just bought one of these today with the backhoe. Great video I subbed as soon as I saw the scripture verse at the end, thank you!

I've been looking at tractors trying to decide what brand to purchase. It's good to see someone who is happy with the tractor and the service. LS doesn't seem to get a lot of good press on RU-vid. To me it seems like a lot of tractor for the cost.

Hey CJ, great review for the LS tractor line. It’s looking good around there, I know you and the family are relaxing some and getting ready for the holidays. Have fun and thanks for sharing with us.

Great video CJ! I've own several tractors over the years, all in different colors I'm not going to complain about any of them, here's my thoughts make sure you get the right tractor for the job it's going to do, size does matter! My next tractor will be in the 30-40 hp range, and yes LS is on my radar, take care and thanks for sharing 👍

I bought the LS G3033H about 4 years ago and had one issue with the gauges but the dealer found the problem and fixed it (a short)! Otherwise it works hard and so handy especially with the loader! My only regrets is not getting more HP but this machine does pretty good for a small tractor!

I am getting ready to by an LS tractor here in Michigan, I hope everyone one is right. This is obviously a big purchase and I plan on putting this machine through the numbers and really working it. I am starting a hobby farm for 7 acre, I plan on working it year round.

Oh jeez, I wrote my comment below right before I heard you say message LS on Facebook. I will try that.

I had a New Holland for many years, never an issue and I used it hard. A Couple years ago I wanted a new cab tractor and was looking at Kubota, until I got a price! I got a LS XR4145 cab, hydro trans, backhoe, 3rd function with 4-in-1 bucket and grapple. Not including the grapple cost, the same size Kubota cab, hydro trans, backhoe with added 3rd function and same 4-1 bucket was $22k higher than the LS. To make it worse, attaching/detaching the backhoe on the Kubota is ridiculous having to remove the 3-point parts, the LS takes minutes. I can attach the backhoe in approx 5 minutes and detach in 3 minutes alone. Not a lot of reviews on the LS when I was getting mine a couple years ago but I figured with LS building the compact tractors for New Holland, I would take the chance. Plus the dealer I purchased my commercial zero turn from is a LS dealer, they are one of the few businesses around that value their customers. The local Kubota dealer acted like they just wanted me to leave when I asked questions about the tractor options and add-ons, that helped turn me away from Kubota with that being the local dealer and feeling like their customer service would suck. I use the LS for some brush cutting but mostly tree work, I use it hard and push it to it's limits with the loader. Mine just hit 100 hrs last weekend, has been flawless. Only done a regen 2 times, every 50 hours. I run on-road fuel with Diesel Kleen with every fill-up. I wouldn't hesitate buying another LS tractor. FYI - With you thinking about getting a backhoe, I leave mine on when doing loader work. It is a great counter weight and prevents keeping weight to the 3-point.

LS does seem to have the most feature rich standard model tractor out there. If we were in the market for a new one, I'd definitely consider an LS. Love the low fuel tank, beats the through the hood tank on our New Holland!

How's she goin'? Tractors are great!!! But when they break down, no matter the make, they aren't so good. So when you have troubles with your tractor and the dealer is there for support and assistance, then you have a great tractor!!! Even if it's not red !!! LOL Just sayin'!!! Glad you are pleased with your tractor CJ. Take care!!!

Thank you for the info and you are correct! A dealer has the opportunity to make it a good experience.

Very good review. I like the little features, like the book noon👍

Yo Brother!! So sorry for late reply. I watched the live (as you know) & thought I was caught up with your videos!! Man.... I pray LS starts to sponsor you Bud. It will be very well deserved. And as always Lovin da drone shots man!! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving & Dirty Jersey out!!!

I have two of them. My 10 yr old s3010 had one problem. a light switch which cost $35.00 and delivered to me in 2 days. I started driving tractors when I was 6 yrs old. I had to push up on steering wheel to put enough pressure on clutch to stop. Like ls

What i noticed is the MT125 and the 40 series are great and have great reviews. It is the 30 series that seem to have problems. I for one will be purchasing a 40 series in the next couple months.

You'll regen every 40-50 if you don't idle and run at 2500rpm as recommended. Always warm up and cool down at idle for 1-2 minutes, Otherwise always between 2k-25krpm

I have a LS4155, 55 horse with a cab. About 150 hrs and I love it. I couldn't see paying 20k more for a big name machine. How much are you paying just for the name. I use a 78" grapple, flail mower, plow, disk, 6' tiller. I also own a JD, and a New Holland. LS works just as well as they do.

Great information!!

Great vid! Honesty rules!

Great video!

I'm going to go look at a 4047 this weekend hopefully I can pick it up for a good price nice tractors.

Your welcome bro

Great video

Well I always say a lot of issues I have been seeing on reviews have been customer service at local dealers. I bought a tractor 20 years ago from this one dealer he has since switched over to LS brand and if he does anything like he did back when he had the other tractors I know I'll get good customer service

Thinking about a MT5. Had a JD and loved it, but it was small even for the small acreage I had at the time. I looked pretty hard at the LS when I bought the JD, but the clearance was pretty bad and I wanted to drive over the rocks rather than flip and pull them out. Which is pretty much all I had, I lived on a hill in extraordinarily rocky terrain. Moving to 20 times the acres and with actual dirt on the ground! With all my research it's looking like my choices are (for new tractors) Kubota for 70-80k or an LS for 50-60k That's not much of a choice. But it's all about the customer service. Dealers seem to be either ridiculously good or laughably bad. Feel like I should need to vet my dealership which feels bad.

Good to know. Now I just might buy it!

The problem i've noticed propping up on the cheaper tractors, especially the chines ones is that they have trouble starting especially in cold weather. I own a Jinma tractor myself and it's a right pain to start even with preheating it. Whereas my Massey Ferguson 65 starts every damn time without preheating, no matter how cold it is. So i guess my question is, how does it start? do you have to preheat always or more or less never?

looking into first tractor purchase really like your vids, thx for sharing.

Good video

100 hrs in two years, that’s not crap for hours.

Thanks for this. I've owned a LS R4041 and it has been perfect for me. Problem is, I lost the gas cap. It doesn't show up on the LS website parts list. Any suggestions? I'm in middle Tennesee.

I really like storage compartment on the seat. A Regen every 4 hours seems excessive. Do you do a lot of idling and/or low rpm work?

I have a xu6168. It has 557 hrs after 3.5 years of owning it. It spent 9 months sitting because of a fuel heating problem. Just got it back from the dealer today because they had to put a new motor in it!!!! Yep 557 hrs and the motor blew, ls customer support will not talk to me...don't buy one this one is broke down again after 15 mins of being home.

good video what is the weight, and the lifting capacity on that tractor Thanks in advanse

Yeah I have a lemon

Do you have another video that actually shows or explains " why you choose LS over John Deere, Kubota, Mahindra, Kioti, New Holland, and Rural King tractors? " I'm not looking for one this big buy I am looking at LS along with others in the 24 - 30 HP

How much diesel is this tractor consuming, on average? I know this is a dumb question but will help me tremendously. Thank you!

I sold a john deere with 20.000 hrs on the tach , the tack quit working in 1967 , my present JD has 29.000 hrs . When someone gets a LS to review with those kind of hrs it will be more usfull

Im interested in bying the LS XJ2025 for what i want to do around the house would you recomende it

How much is a 4040? I dont see pricing on their website. Maybe I am not looking in the right spot though.

I got a mt225 had about a year. Was mowing with it today less than 200 hrs on it. Run the idle high for the mower deck. The fuel pump started smoking and the electric pump was super hot. The smell smelt like plastic burning. Any ideas thanks in advance

How does a 14 inch ground clearance affect you? It seems it would hang up on uneven ground . Thanks

What motor are these running? And where are LS’s made?

2 years = 100 hours? Thats really low usage, man... I have LS U60 and for 1 year I have made 400 hours. Yes, I am a farmer, but with 7 acres, not so much..

Had a question on your quick hitch for the 3 point system - Which one do you use? Just had my LS delivered today and would love to get that 3 point quick hitch!

Abolish the EPA

How close are you to your dealer?

How much is this tractor

100 hours after two years isn't much. lol

100 hrs in two years, that’s not crap for hours.
