I just did my 300 hour service recently. I am also going to get a more premium fluid when that time comes. But for now, I topped off with the same stuff my LS dealer sells. Warren Premium. Let us know if you feel or hear a difference. Even if not, I’m going to buy better quality fluids.

Is your old machine paid off or near it? If you finance a new machine with $0 down, you will have a monthly payment for several years. Look at it like this…you would have to break ~$350 worth of parts each month to surpass the monthly payment, which would then make a new machine more attractive...

Let me add another sensor malfunction thread here. I was mowing and suddenly my MT3 47 dropped into limp mode. F02 S636. I found a thread here and followed it to make this repair: MT3 Crank position sensor location?? It was the crank position sensor, and it was VERY easy to change. 14mm...

You’ll like the LS. I’ve had my 347HC since 2021 with no regrets. Couple things: You can add a grapple by running hoses from the green rear remote to the loader. Run it along the top of the blue loader frame and use heavy zip ties. It saved me $1000 on a third function kit. You need a...

If the price difference isn’t making or breaking this (sounds like it’s not, or you might have made a bigger deal of it), then get the bigger one and future-proof. I’m in Florida now, but I tried snow control with my Kubota BX, and would never recommend it for that. It was OK at everything, but...

I have the 47HC. It’s been great so far. The AC is a blessing in the summer!

This is how mine looks

The only times I’ve ever had this issue with any tractor is when a safety mechanism is preventing starting. Things like the brake not set all the way, or PTO switch needs to be cycled on and off. My LS has to have the parking brake set, trans in neutral, and PTO off.

I take it you don’t have AC?

These are words not uttered by anyone with a cab and AC! “feels like” temp in triple digits, heat advisory…no worries.

I have an MT347HC and love everything but the loader dump speed. It’s pretty slow. The loader arms are a bit short vs other brands, but I don’t need to stack or pile anything over 6 feet. It runs my 72” Bush Hog just fine as well. No problems with the various components so far in my 170...

Lemon laws don’t always apply outside of motor vehicles, so you may need to look at something like the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. 15 USC 2301-2312. Check your state. I’ve had luck calling LS directly, but not sure your dealer will take it well or not. In my case, the dealer was getting run...

I try to remember that there are examples of lower HP tractors doing more work than others due to their gearing, weight, or whatever. I think this is evident with the Kubota BX, B, LX, and L series all having a 25HP variant. No way can a BX do the work of an L as effieicntly. I would not make...

I have that grapple and it works fine. I had a Land Pride grapple with my last tractor and only notice the top lid of the CTGR60 is not toothed like the LP. I don’t really need that for what I do, but if you like to rake backward, lid teeth would be needed I bet. Also, the LP was AR400 and the...
