Great video and very thorough. I just got my first LS about 6 months ago. I had many of the same dislikes you do. I went and had them fill the rear tires with beet juice and air the tires less than max. The extra weight and lower pressure really makes the ride much smoother. The weight of the juice is has really increased how much I can lift with nothing on the back. My loader operation was less than stellar at first. But the more I used it, the smoother and more responsive it got. Also, you'll never regret the canopy purchase!
Wanda, an easy way to remember the bucket control's is to think of it as a seesaw. if you push down on one side of a seesaw the other side goes up. same with the tractor, push down on the lever and the bucket goes up. I use to train people on heavy equipment and that was the best way I found to help people remember. y'all enjoy the tractor.
I had neck surgery back in 2008 and I have 2 nice lite neck braces and you are welcome to have them if don't own one. They're very good to keep your neck in right position DANNY JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT EITHER ONE. I have a long neck like you so the larger size would probably work just fine and they're adjustable for tightening or making it looser too! God bless you you both 👍👏☝️🏡🇺🇸🗽
Wanda, think about that lift stick being all the way extended to the bucket. If you push down, the stick is going to lift the bucket. It's like a fulcrum. Get you a cinder block, set it on the ground. Put a shovel across the cinder block. Now push down on the end of the shovel handle. See?. Up goes the shovel blade. That in mind should help you think about the up and down direction a bit better. :)
Yes sir That bucket lever is ridiculous. I wish they had the lever for the bucket on the fender Great video ❕❕❕✌🏼 I also don’t like the digital looking gauges I’m used to real gauges That digital look scares me that the electronics would break
Hey Danny, look under that thing and see what kind of fan setup it has for cooling the transmission.It should have about a six inch fan on the driveshaft that blows air on the hydrostatic trans, The Kubota tractors have plastic fans. What happens is in tall weeds it breaks the fan where it mounts to the shaft. Just something to be mindful of if yours has a similar set up.
I'm glad to see you guys found something that will work for you and that Wanda is comfortable operating. Something you might want to look into is that I've seen people replace the rubber bump-stop that the seat sets on with springs to soften up the ride a little bit.
I've had my J2020H for over five years and it's never had any trouble at all. I wouldn't want any other brand of tractor. Oh yeah I have 833 hours on it. It can plow snow that's two feet deep with the bucket. I bought a six foot wide extreme metal product's snow plow. Oh yeah on the joy stick my bucket floats if you put it all the way up. You might want to put on wheel exspanders. Makes the tractor more stable and I found smoother.
I've owned this tracter for 4 yrs now, I totally agree with everything said here, but dont underestimate the toughness of this little tractor, i have put it though hell, aside from a flat tire or two I've not had on single mechanical failure with it. Has it done everything I've asked it to do? No.. But it has exceeded what i thought when i bought it. I have the backhoe on mine, in the video he says how he used a boom for counterwieght i leave the hoe on and it gives the nessesary weight to hold down the rear, take it off you cant pick up very much in bucket. the motor vibrates more then it should, cant keep the oil dipstick in so keep an eye on it.
I have had this same tractor for about 8 mths now one thing I found I didn't like was where they key is. I'm a bigger guy and when I spin around in the seat when backing up I found my knee hits the key and bends it, I'll be looking to move it in the future.
For a smoother ride let some air out of tires, that will help it won't be as rough on you, here we let air out and it makes a lot of difference hope this helps ( on our hay equipment)
one thing I do NOT like about those sun guards overhead is==you got to watch going under trees etc. on my John Deere I broke one when I was mowing and they are NOT cheap! Also Danny--you might want to wear a light neck brace when on that tractor to help with the shock on your neck---God bless!
Do not hang a weight on your boom pole for normal operations of your tractor you have to have a weight that has a low center of gravity otherwise you will flip the tractor over if you cannot afford to purchase a proper weight they are pretty easy to make
Great review guys! Danny, I'm so glad you're putting weight on the back end of the tractor. I was concerned about that too. Danny, I feel for you with it being so rough riding. My electric wheelchair is the same way on uneven surfaces. It just kills my bad spine. Wanda, you look as pretty as a picture on that tractor. I can already see you're learning a lot & improving. You go girl!
Danny I would get rid of those turn buckles and buy or make the kind New Holland like I have has, they are on the outside and all you do is pull a pin move it were you want and replace the pin, there are multiple holes so one hole will always work
Adding water to the tires will also help to keep it from bouncing so much. But if you are in a freeze area look into those other ballist that have lower freezing points.
Hey guys/gals nice rig! I have the same tractor. They are a excellent little tractor and a really good value over the competition. I also did not like the way it was "bouncy". Kinda felt too light. My dealer here in Canada loaded all 4 tires with beet juice(generic rimguard). It added approx 500lbs to the tractor and since it's mostly in back I no longer need a counter balance on the 3ph. The extra weight settles down the ride quite a bit and it doesn't freeze in winter(good to -40 C/F.). These rigs plow/move snow quite well also. Only other thing I don't like is fuel fill location and key/signal location(I'm 6'4") and smash them with my knees. Other than that the are nice rigs. Keep up the good work!
I have been looking at the LS tractors for a few years. One thing I don't like, like you mentioned, is the joy stick for the bucket. They used to have one mounted very close to the seat where you did not have to reach up. It had a nice fat top on it with a diagram of which way to move the stick to work the bucket. The new ones look really cheap and thin. Also the fuel tank used to be mounted behind the seat or under the tractor where you could reach it from the ground. I am glad I found this review though. Very good review.
does! this tractor have a frame, a lot of tractors built in Europe do not have a frame and some have broke apart when pulling them out of a bog they are bolted with the transmission bolted to the bell housing and the differential and the cast iron will break apart, so make sure the tractor you buy has a frame
Just a thought, I think that some of your other implements don't fit is because the new tractor is not a row crop model of tractor. Same problem with my Kubota of similar size .
Nice little tractor. I have a 2001 New Holland TC33D just a little bigger than yours and I really like it. Mine has the rocker pedal instead of a 2 separate pedals for forward and reverse. I like the rocker better because I have 2 independent brake petals so I can use the brake to make tighter turns.
I luv that you guys! Wanda you look great on that tractor 😊 I’d be on it everyday. I gotta have one! Very awesome! Who says you can’t have fun in the country don’t know what they talking about!! Y’all should have a tractor race on Labor Day or sometime. Video that, would be awesome!!!!😊😊🌻
Glad I watched this. Because the things you don't like are a big deal to me. all the adjustments your having to do to that thing make a big difference to me. You say it is like riding on Square wheels. That's a big deal for me.All the things you like about is good. But the weight thing leveling and the ride is a big thing. And I don't like Mitsubishi.
for my kabota he perfect counter weight when running the front loader is my tiller in back ...would like to try a box blade on it instead and will have one soon ..i undestand the use of a jib but as a counterweight i wouldnt care for it sticking back that far when im constantly backing up
Good review and Thanks for sharing, I see a few things that are different on the LS, I guess I didn't think about it too much but for some reason I thought all hydrostatic throttle feeds were rocker pedal, toe down for forward heel down for reverse, I think the two levers would be more difficult to operate if they are variable control. Danny if you are looking for a counter balance for the front bucket you could use a metal 45 gallon barrel, poke a rod through it for the lower arms and another for the top link, can fill the barrel with metal or rocks and add some concrete makes a nice counter weight and also a bumper with a low center of gravity.
now can you change out the arms for bigger ones and move the iner thins to the out side and have some one make you a brace to put it on it so you can raise it all the way up and an exelent reveiw because i have no ideal what to look for on a tractor i just know how to fix stuff
You are aware that the turnbuckels at the bottom losen and the 3 point arms will spread my Deere is the same way.the arms will spread and touch the tires if you want.
Stop at a kioti dealer and look at there seats... You may be able to change yours to that style... It will improve the ride 100%. One more thing... In your book for the tractor... It says not to run it in 4x4 in high range?? All tractors have different size tires.. I've never seen one you could not run in 4x4 high range... Mine never comes out of 4x4...
Not wanting to be that guy, but I will since I haven't seen any comments addressing this. That tractor is narrow; be wary of rollover and wear the seat belt. OK, the PSA is over, now go have fun working with it. ; )
Danny couldn't you make your own canopy with some canvas and maybe pvc pipe. Wouldn't cost too much, would be light weight and keep the sun off just as good.
How has this tractor held up? I’m watching many mixed reviews and am now leaning towards not buying one. Mainly poor reliability and build quality….. any insight is greatly appreciated!
Let me guess, you were able to afford that over grown lawnmower because of you neck injury? I hope your able to get a lot done with it, it's a solid tool, you get what you pay for.
Hello, you talked about hanging weight off the back, will that make it more bouncier when unloaded? Just a thought, Since it has the belly pto, and belly mounting points, would some belly/center mounted weights help reduce the tractor bounce?
LOL!!! "You Aint Gonna hurt it" I bet I could put a serious hurting on that tractor. You have seen my 2016 tractor, I have put a serious hurting on it. LOL!
You are not touching MY tractor! LOL I have seen your tractor and I will keep Annie for myself. But you have cleared some serious land over there!! Danny won't be clearing land like that or we will be having a talk. Thanks for the laugh this morning.
Almost think you got the tractor for doing the review vid. Gender-oriented, Danny doing all the mechanical benefits (impressed with the features shown ...), and Wanda doing all the warm-fuzzy features. DDDD Just change out the tilt handle problem. Switch the hydraulics (blue to yellow, yellow to blue) fixing the up/down handle issue. Get company to do the change out, under continued warranty. Purchase modifed hose lengths and fittings if needed. You need a bucket seat with foldable arms, and a higher back and neck/head feature on it - no bouncing up/down/all around and jostling the body. [Ride a camel and see if your aren't prepared for the ride - it will tear you apart with all the movements.] Then install custom shocks, and cushion the ride - another company install. Also have some greater rubber bumper and spring shocks under the seat - reducing the beat-down effect on the body. Downsizing downsizes all your other equipment - train pulls box car, pickup truck hauls horse trailer, not vice versa. The turn buckles were installed inside the downsized frame system, eliminating being torn off in the smaller space between tires and frame. Modern tractors are the new wheelbarrows, lawn mowers, rototillers, discers, seeders, DC blade tractors, road graders, bicycles/motorcycles, ox/cow/horse wagon, snow plows, snow blowers ... of our ancestors ... Look at a Bobcat and you can see all the same options with their vehicles. Over-using the smaller tractor, with offset back weights to do the same work as a bigger tractor is not reality. Tractor downsizing dictates its operating performance. If you are digging and you butt flies up in the air, you are working the tractor beyond its limits. Overwork means eventually tearing apart or early destroying the tractor for the sake of (previous large tractor) work and time schedules. Downsizing means less heavy single work, with more and lighter work movements. Make adjustments on work and time schedule for downsizing changes. More small hand shovelling than larger, bigger, heavier single backhoe digouts. Save yourslf, your body, your tractor, the work chores, ... and your wallet the later expenses of repairing a damaged tractor, and anger-frustrtion-stress of the whole disaster. If anything for ride and weight suspension, then consider recued tire air pressure, softer drive, but greater wear on tire walls, or West Coast (?) fill tires with water (you are in the non-freezing south). Heavier front tires gives you forward weight distribution and control. Water-filled back tires removes entire backend weight system. Consider wearing back/waist brace, and neck brace if that helps with the tractor movements. And Danny ... get off that tractor ... thats Wanda's play toy ... Yee-hah! Country girls love to play in the dirt ! Tractor is already named (!). Girls playing together in the field.
I have a XJ2025H and like it. ruclips.net/video/M4anW4PLaLk/видео.html I like it and it is comfortable to sit on That front leg system on the bucket is not safe it does not latch in firmly. I have difficulty getting it into and out of 4 wheel drive. The key location sucks, Bent one over already. I am going to cut the key off ans weld a flat plate to the end so it does not stick out to be bent over. The tractor seems to be a good tractor (purchased last fall.
I have a Case 25B Farmall here in Tasmania, it seems to be the exact same if earlier model of the LS discussed here and keep doing the same Uri Geller key bending trick on mine too! Seems they make it out of the most malleable and soft metal they can find! What a stupid place to put it too, right where your knee can knock it when getting on and off. Another bad piece of ergonomics is the siting of the battery, right at the bottom of the radiator, you have to move or remove both the the cooling overflow tank and horn to remove it for maintenance or safe charging, very inconvenient! Apart from these niggles it’s a great platform for the 60” mid mower for my 5 1/2 acres, The front end loader hasn’t seen much use over the last 6 years but we are moving to a new property where it will come in handy, along with the 4’ box blade to grade the gravel drive. The comments on the harshness of the ride are pretty spot on too, we have partially addressed this by running the tire pressures a lot less than recommended at around 15 to 20 PSI.
you can run the tractor in high range 4WD. the front axle gear ratio is different than the rear to compensate for the tire size difference.
Great video and very thorough. I just got my first LS about 6 months ago. I had many of the same dislikes you do. I went and had them fill the rear tires with beet juice and air the tires less than max. The extra weight and lower pressure really makes the ride much smoother.

But the more I used it, the smoother and more responsive it got. Also, you'll never regret the canopy purchase!

Hi Danny and Wanda! I am so happy for Wanda that she has you to be able to handle all the mechanical stuff! Blessings to you both! 🤗
I think it is awesome that you all got out & got you this new tractor .. Big hugs ya all!
Wanda, think about that lift stick being all the way extended to the bucket. If you push

Daniel Gooding I went and looked and yes it does thanks for the heads up.
Congratulations on you'r new tractor, hope it provides you many years of safe operation.
I'm glad to see you guys found something that will work for you and that Wanda is comfortable operating. Something you might want to look into is that I've seen people replace the rubber bump-stop that the seat sets on with springs to soften up the ride a little bit.
you can swap the position the hydraulic lines around to make the loader do what you want to just swap the up down lines to make it do what you want
I've had my J2020H for over five years and it's never had any trouble at all. I wouldn't want any other brand of tractor. Oh yeah I have 833 hours on it.

You guys are just having WAY too much fun with Annie!!!! hahaha so glad you have something that will make things easier in the future!!
That's the first time I have seen your chickens. And I like your new tractor!

Switch the hoses on the bucket controls to change the direction the handle moves in relation to the movement of the bucket.
Turn the cat 1 hookup on your implements to the inside. Unbolt them and simply put them to the inside. Simple fix. I had to do this on 3 of mine.
one thing I do NOT like about those sun guards overhead is==you got to watch going under trees etc. on my John Deere I broke one when I was mowing and they are NOT cheap! Also Danny--you might want to wear a light neck brace when on that tractor to help with the shock on your neck---God bless!

If you swap the two hydraulic lines you will change the joystick operation.
Put water in the back tires for more stability. I do that on all the tractor I sell.
Adding water to the tires will also help to keep it from bouncing so much. But if you are in a freeze area look into those other ballist that have lower freezing points.
That was a Great review and I can tell Wanda is enjoying her tractor....LOL

Check out our review on the LS XG3025 It is the next tractor size and has the tank behing the seat. We are enjoying that tractor.

I like the rocker better because I have 2 independent brake petals so I can use the brake to make tighter turns.
I've since up graded to the xr 3135. This one was a little small.
Lookin good, might have your dealer put fluid in the tires, it makes a big difference.
Turn your pins in on your equipment when you can and have the clearance to do so. I've modified a scrape blade so I could do that.
Awesome! Congratulations yall.
I luv that you guys! Wanda you look great on that tractor 😊 I’d be on it everyday. I gotta have one! Very awesome! Who says you can’t have fun in the country don’t know what they talking about!! Y’all should have a tractor race on Labor Day or sometime. Video that, would be awesome!!!!😊😊🌻

Great review! I'm sure it's going to be just fine! Yeah Wanda!!!
Thanks for the review. Wanda you look about as happy as a honey bee in the middle of a clover field.LOL

You are aware that the turnbuckels at the bottom losen and the 3 point arms will spread my Deere is the same way.the arms will spread and touch the tires if you want.
I’m sorry if this has been asked. I have the New Holland Version of this tractor. Did the quick attach come factory?
Stop at a kioti dealer and look at there seats... You may be able to change yours to that style... It will improve the ride 100%.
One more thing... In your book for the tractor... It says not to run it in 4x4 in high range?? All tractors have different size tires.. I've never seen one you could not run in 4x4 high range... Mine never comes out of 4x4...
Not wanting to be that guy, but I will since I haven't seen any comments addressing this. That tractor is narrow; be wary of rollover and wear the seat belt. OK, the PSA is over, now go have fun working with it. ; )
Danny couldn't you make your own canopy with some canvas and maybe pvc pipe.
Wouldn't cost too much, would be light weight and keep the sun off just as good.
A top off a golf cart works great plus it's a lot cheaper than $300. You'll have to make some sort of metal frame to attach it.
How has this tractor held up?
I’m watching many mixed reviews and am now leaning towards not buying one. Mainly poor reliability and build quality….. any insight is greatly appreciated!
The loader looks identical to the mahindra 2538 I had. It was a good loader
Looks fun!
Had same tractor. Got new one that’s just to small
I bet some arm rests would make the joystick easier. Imo. Thanks for the video.
Also for smother loader operation run at lower rpm
U should drill holes in that bumper u are thinking of making do airflow cnn get to the radiator
Awesome video
Wouldn't it be easier to just have some new 3rd arms fabricated that are dimensionally correct for your equipment rather than buying new equipment?
Online it says this tractor is only 44 inches wide? Is that really true?
Don't count on using a belly mower if you are equipped with a backhoe. Been there tried that.
Thats some good info for people.
Looks like it was made just for you and it is blue, a little blue bird.
Why not make your own roof/canape?
check Hinomoto HM255, a great tractor 2022, with yanmar engine
Overall looks like a pretty good tractor! Thanks for the honest review :0)
was she expensive compared to the bigger tractor makers?
cody arruda She was between 5 and 10 thousand dollars cheaper than others the same horsepower.THanks
I have a 2501 like your kubota.
great video!
love the dodge truck I see in the background...
oh, nice tractor too!
Yeah ita a 2000 dodge dont even have 100000 miles on it.It was my work truck when i was working in downtown NY.Thanks
I bet that lower step will get knocked off or broken in the future lol
but I like your new toy I hope it last yall till the end of time lol nice
What was the price of the XJ2025 with loader?
pretty sweeeeeeeet
Looking good on the tractor, Miss Wanda!
Let me guess, you were able to afford that over grown lawnmower because of you neck injury?
I hope your able to get a lot done with it, it's a solid tool, you get what you pay for.
Hello, you talked about hanging weight off the back, will that make it more bouncier when unloaded? Just a thought, Since it has the belly pto, and belly mounting points, would some belly/center mounted weights help reduce the tractor bounce?
PlanePreacher It really needs to be behind the tractor.The problem is keeping the rear wheels on the ground.Thanks
LOL!!! "You Aint Gonna hurt it" I bet I could put a serious hurting on that tractor. You have seen my 2016 tractor, I have put a serious hurting on it. LOL!
You are not touching MY tractor! LOL I have seen your tractor and I will keep Annie for myself. But you have cleared some serious land over there!! Danny won't be clearing land like that or we will be having a talk. Thanks for the laugh this morning.
I'm looking to buy this same tractor, how much did you get yours for?
I paid 13900.00 for mine a year ago
Awesome review! Will be sharing in a garden to market group.
Happy smiles for/with you both :)
Be well.

Save yourslf, your body, your tractor, the work chores, ... and your wallet the later expenses of repairing a damaged tractor, and anger-frustrtion-stress of the whole disaster.
If anything for ride and weight suspension, then consider recued tire air pressure, softer drive, but greater wear on tire walls, or West Coast (?) fill tires with water (you are in the non-freezing south). Heavier front tires gives you forward weight distribution and control. Water-filled back tires removes entire backend weight system.
Consider wearing back/waist brace, and neck brace if that helps with the tractor movements.
And Danny ... get off that tractor ... thats Wanda's play toy ...
Yee-hah! Country girls love to play in the dirt ! Tractor is already named (!). Girls playing together in the field.
Check out Tony's Tractor Adventure, He has a video on the LS Tractor turn buckles how to modify them to the outside
I see you like "Blue Jay" : )
#91 LS XR3135 30Hr review! This tractor is great! click on this one
What a great review...thanks.
I have a XJ2025H and like it. ruclips.net/video/M4anW4PLaLk/видео.html I like it and it is comfortable to sit on
That front leg system on the bucket is not safe it does not latch in firmly. I have difficulty getting it into and out of 4 wheel drive. The key location sucks, Bent one over already. I am going to cut the key off ans weld a flat plate to the end so it does not stick out to be bent over.
The tractor seems to be a good tractor (purchased last fall.
I have a Case 25B Farmall here in Tasmania, it seems to be the exact same if earlier model of the LS discussed here and keep doing the same Uri Geller key bending trick on mine too! Seems they make it out of the most malleable and soft metal they can find! What a stupid place to put it too, right where your knee can knock it when getting on and off. Another bad piece of ergonomics is the siting of the battery, right at the bottom of the radiator, you have to move or remove both the the cooling overflow tank and horn to remove it for maintenance or safe charging, very inconvenient!
Apart from these niggles it’s a great platform for the 60” mid mower for my 5 1/2 acres, The front end loader hasn’t seen much use over the last 6 years but we are moving to a new property where it will come in handy, along with the 4’ box blade to grade the gravel drive. The comments on the harshness of the ride are pretty spot on too, we have partially addressed this by running the tire pressures a lot less than recommended at around 15 to 20 PSI.
He thinks her tractors sexy... Lol
It has a scary face.
