Watch more of this guy's videos. He trades the XJ for an XR and still has issue after issue, and no sign that I've seen so far of the company making it right.
He's spent almost 1K on transport fees for warranty work. Makes me wonder how much he "saved" over a main brand.
I don't know what kind of bad luck this guy has. A lot of guys here have LS tractors and swear by them.

I stopped watching the video after he pointed out all the plastic, maybe they are not all that way. Ive seen guys posts on here that say good things about these tractors. Im glad Im not the guy in the video

Perhaps it's 'the guy' and not the machines?
Dunno since nobody has posted any details.

I did not even consider an LS until yesterday. Today I visited the dealer and was impressed. The dealer told me he covers the cost of picking up and delivering the tractor for warranty’s work. He gives a buyer his cell number. The buyer can contact him anytime and any day for help. They have a service truck to handle minor stuff. None of the name brands here match that level of service.
The machines look good to me. Specs are good and pricing is good. My JD dealer is hopeless. The Kubota Dealer seems good but pricey. Mahindra dealer had computer issues yesterday but have not sent me a price yet. At this point in time, LS has nudged into first place.

Never hear about taking it to a different dealer. For all we know LS know nothing about his issues. You BUY THE DEALER, no matter green, orange, blue.
My dealer just did a warranty repair on site over an hour away from the shop. :thumbsup:

I watched until the plastic, then skipped through the rest, checking out the hightlights. I don't think that you missed much.
As much as I hate to admit it, I have a reputation for being able to break a rock. Yet the things he was complaining about made it seem that he just likes to complain. Nothing I saw would change my opinion if I was considering this tractor.

I have never looked this model LS over but now that I see it up close I would take it off my list, there are things I see on that particular tractor I don't care for.. JMO..

Have you seen one ... up close ... in person ... not just on a possibly biased 'video'?

Not that model, the video showed some things I don't care for in the design.. I'm not bashing the brand, lord knows we have enough of that, just not for me
I went back and looked at several of his video's. He may well have some tractor problems, there really isn't enough information presented to say for sure.
I do see there is operator error. Maybe completely unintentional, but there none the less. Not picking on the guy, just pointing out contributing factors.
Several video's show him operating the tractor with the fuel gauge in the red. Its bound to be starving and or getting air in the fuel lines at times.
One video shows the tractor trying to regen and its at about 1500 rpms. He doesn't seem to know the two orange regen lights are normal. He seems to be presenting them as trouble lights.
Failing to let it regen properly is going to eventually shut the tractor down. Its in limp mode at one point in his video.
He is filling up out of fuel jugs. My experience has been that is the best way to get water and debris in you tank unless you clean them out thoroughly every time.
Listening to it repeatedly shut off while he is driving sounds like a faulty ground or the seat safety switch is bad or maybe he isn't heavy enough to keep it contacting. My dad had that problem with two different new tractors. It took us a while to figure out that he wasn't heavy enough to keep the switch in contact on rough ground.
I agree with the above posters, there is probably a problem with the dealer. They should be going over all this stuff to help get him going.
