Procrastination is over. Got a new mt5 73 power shuttle.

[Waterproofer23]

Well after several months of stressing and researching different tractors I finally pulled the trigger on the original one I wanted. My dealer didn’t have the power shuttle in stock, so I had to buy one sight unseen and I am super glad I went with power shuttle. Today was the first day I got to use it. I hooked up my new 8’ bush hog and cut a couple acres just getting used to all the controls. So far I must say I absolutely love it. I’m 25 years old and this was a pretty big purchase and I think I made the right call going LS

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me where to get a buddy seat for this tractor? All the ls dealers keep telling me you can only get them over seas. Idc what brand it is, but I really need one.

Congratulations! Fine looking machine. I have a LS xr4046h which has been trouble free, and I just did the 500 hour service. Sorry can't help with a buddy seat.

Very nice! I would look at the LS but no dealers in my neck of the woods.

That’s a very nice tractor! I was lucky enough to get an LS buddy seat when I got my tractor but like you are finding out, they no longer import them. If you can’t get an overseas connection, you may need to have someone weld up a base bracket and convert another brand. I could post dimensions on mine if it would help.

Can you set the wheels out further on the MT? And, is the MT only available with a Cab?

Yes I’m having the wheels set out soon, and as far as I know it only comes with a cab.

have you looked for something 'new holland'? I'd bet there's a really similar tractor in the New Holland line

Nice tractor. Did you consider the XU or did you go with the MT to get the planatary front end?

Yes I considered the xu, my dealer made me a deal where it was just couple grand more to get the mt. Also I like it has the buddy seat hookup. And the front end being more solid was just icing at that point.

My dealer originally told me that they could get me a buddy seat through new holland, then they emailed me that they could not anymore. So I’m going to look into that first thing tomorrow.

Very nice! If that had been available when I bought my 6168CPS, I probably would have bought one of those. I love my tractor, but I wish it had a buddy seat.
