    Warranty not transferable says LS

    I wonder if LS tracks the serial number, now that it is a private sale, will it have a warranty? Hmm!

    Recommended multi-meter

    An RMS meter is an RMS meter these days, just make sure it is a "True RMS" meter. You might have been comparing a True RMS meter to one that wasn't. You are kind of saying your Kioti and my LS can't move dirt as well because they aren't a Kubota. You do need an o'scope or a THD meter which is...

    Bucket Hooks Tine Bucket opinions

    did hurricane cleanup with forks, it worked, but I quickly bought a grapple. If you see yourself staying on that 20 acre property for a while and see moving brush as a reoccurring task, really consider the grapple and of course the additional expense of the 3rd function. Just being able to grab...

    Used to use old Simpson meters like that back in the day, when you just needed to see a pulse, not measure it, just see a quick pulse on a radar cal, the analog meter would deflect, and a digital meter wouldn't show anything. Good stuff!

    You'd put it on V for voltage, and press the red button on the left to select DC for battery type voltage. If that's all you ever really check, a $5 harbor freight meter would probably be fine. DC 20 is probably all you'd ever need, the probes aren't great but its cheap and will probably be just...

    I was a 25yr electronic tech, we used flukes almost exclusively, mainly because they could be calibrated. Long retired now, but when the display in my Fluke 87 started crapping out, they gave me a quote of almost $300 to replace the display. It now sits in a drawer and has been replaced by this...

    LS SAYS A REGEN EVERY 2 HOURS IS NORMAL

    @Andre1196 Thanks for that. They have replaced both the EGR Valve and the ECU on mine (also all 3 injectors, the DPF sensor, and cleaned the DPF) unfortunately it has not made a difference on my tractor. Hope yours is fixed.

    LS MT3 57 Regens TO Often

    The problem is that LS the company, not the dealer, says if a regen happens more than 2 hours from the last, that is an expected behavior. Call when it happens in less than 2 hours. That is not a correct all encompassing statement, but regardless, at one point my dealer said the same thing, so...

    stowing chain on my LS

    Will be different without a ROPS, but the open side are these which I riveted magnets to: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079PB2BHT https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CZGWY93 And the other side: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BHCCBAQ And heavy duty zip-ties to back it all up

    How many gallons

    Even more unnecessary, it would also depend where on earth it was weighed. While the mass would remain the same, the weight would vary a bit because of the fluctuations in Earth's gravity. The pull of gravity diminishes at high altitude on mountain peaks and due to the rotation of the earth...
