I had a Kioti DK40 for 10 years, and just switched to LS. I now have the LS MT3-57 cab hydro, and I love it. However, there is one thing I noticed, and you brought it up in this video. The loader flexes on this machine when I am carrying a heavy load.. and it didn't on the Kioti. I am glad you brought it up so that I know it's not just my eyes playing tricks. When I am carrying a heavy log (I run a sawmill), the loader will flex and move independently from the tractor slightly. HOWEVER... it's hard to make an argument against the loader quality, because it has not caused a single problem. I carry logs that max out my lift capacity often, and I carry them through very rough trails in the woods.. and it has performed flawlessly. So for me, it is unnerving to see it flexing.. but it's obviously not an issue. I feel like if there were a loader quality issue, with all the LS tractors out there, there would be broken loaders all over the place because a LOT of guys abuse their equipment. I have yet to see one. It's weird to me to see it flexing like that, but the engineers that designed it are probably smarter than I am. haha. Thanks for making this video. Oh and, I feel the same way you do about the cup holder. Mine is behind me too. Like... impossible to reach. Small gripes for sure. LS made up for the cup holder by putting a Grammar seat in the cab models.. (these seats are upwards of 1,200.00!!). So I can't complain too much.
Yes sir I am used to a more ridged loader. But like you said it has not caused any issues so far. I just worry about welds. I really like the MT 357 I thought that tractor is almost perfect for allot of around the farm work. Lots of power, Good size, hydro W/Linked pedals NICE. I hope you the best. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
I agree with the loader control and the gear shifter. They should be swapped. I ran a friends case 75 which is the same cab as the LS. When using the loader I kept grabbing gear shifter.
Thank you for your videos. I like you have an LS tractor, and so far, it’s been a good one. Also I’m impressed with some of the things they have incorporated into this machine. Thanks again for making the videos.
Yikes! It is one thing that it has a little flex to it, but having to re-weld it back together is not good. I hope we don’t have that issue. If this is a design flaw or just an under sized loader I don’t know, but I think any manufacturer that puts out a product that is not designed, or up to standards should make it good. Thanks again
We are just starting our little homestead. Have been looking at all brands. LS so far is top on the list. All the reviews have been great. It's nice to see a 573. Most are 3s and 4s. Can't wait to see more content.
@3DFarmingLife There are a few places that do package deals. I have been quoted what I think to be good prices based off base tractor alone. 5 implements/attachments and a 18ft Trailer. These days I refuse to over pay and always do my do diligence. 🙂
@kevincasey9551 Legacy Tractors out of Colorado I was actually emailing with. This is the quote they gave me in 2022 "LS MT357HC w/ loader and bucket Trailer 6' Box Blade Pallet Forks Post Hole Digger w/ 9" Auger 66" Rotary Tiller Total = $51,760 out the door" He did quote me $55,750 for a MT573CPS w/loader (non-package) The other one would be Haney Equipment out of Alabama. Hope this helps.
Dose it have miles per hour on the dash now I’ve older 68 hp model but no way of knowing ground speed. This is a great channel!! I was just looking to add a bigger tractor nice to see a real life review of the new LS models. Keep up the good videos
I am curious, do you own a LS or do you work on LS. I have been very clear On things that have been good and called LS out if needed But not in a condescending manner nor will I. I have and will bring out both good and bad. Please consider that as I would like to keep all comments respectful towards everyone. Thank you

Awesome. I hope it gives you years of good service.
Yes sir, and I hope yours does the same.
My JD 553 loader flexes too. I weld it back together all the time.
Yikes! It is one thing that it has a little flex to it, but having to re-weld it back together is not good.

So far my LS has been great. Continue to do your research these things are NOT cheap. We have more coming soon. Thank you for watching.

@@ryanlasher7421, by chance do you know the name of the dealers that do combo packages?

Yes the MT 573 has a speedometer. It is in the LCD screen in the instrument panel
Thanks for watching
You wish a lot. Corporate doesn’t listen to mechanics just saying…
