One tip for using a chain attached to hooks on your bucket. Wrap the chain around the trunk 2x that reduces the slip it will tighten as soon as you start pulling or lifting. Boxwoods I'd probably hook the chain a 30K or higher clevis attached to my draw bar. Pulling like that can get...

You dont need herbicides to deal with the pop ups. Just mow them they wont come back. We have many honey and black locusts. They reproduce by root suckers and what you call pop ups. All that is required is mowing. The interesting thing is the suckers aka pop ups are thorny but the thorns...

Messicks has most parts for LS - fast ship and 1/2 the price from LS. Look up by part number. It will cross reference to New Holland part.

Take your bucket off... ?

What brand grapple was it you bought from Kubota?? There's a Kubota/new holland dealer about 5 miles from me. Never thought of stopping by. Might be time. I have LS MT352 same tractor and the NH and made by LS. Good time to make friends over there.

If you have a wood lot like me maneuverability is a thing. My tractor is 63" wide. I'm going with a 60" grapple - great thread thanks I've been on the search for a year now.... getting tired of chains and my bucket to move brush and logs. Now glad I didnt pull the trigger on an EA in January.

I get a squeal when I start up my tractor in the cold. Makes me extremely nervous. I had a knock a while back but it was my crank shaft position sensor. Threw codes and went into limp mode or shut down I forgot which. I replaced the sensor and everything back to normal.

Have you looked at your shift lever behind the dash?? I'd start there before splitting the tractor. On my shuttle shift F/N/R lever there's a pin that holds everything together. It gets dislodged sometimes and has even fell out making the shift lever inoperable. I'd look there first.

Get a neighbor to plow it for you first time thru with a 15-18 btm plow or moldboard plow. Thats what we did. Then you need to work on the soil health. Clay is ok once you add in soil organic matter and that takes some time - a few years. Can add in some local manure and then till that in...

For folks with LS tractors and regen issues. In my case the only time I had a regen issue was when I bought cheap diesel at a local out of the way gas station. I had a few issues regen and a lot of smoke and limp mode. After that I never buy diesel other than at our local Over the Road...

you need to upload the video to TBN use the icon that says "media" when you roll you cursor over it its to the right of the paper clip up there 👆👆👆

We have an MT352 with cab and shuttle shift. The lift height is no problem I could still FU and dump a load on top of me if I wasn't careful. We push snow here with a 1000' driveway asphalt onna mountain side with a small incline but its enough in heavy snow that we need to plow WITH the...

Zero turn has a pretty low center of gravity with a +50" deck hanging off the bottom of the frame. We have a few 25 degree banks I mow with my ZT - it's sketchy at first until I figured out the safest way to mow the banks and each one is a little different. Most of the steep slopes its either...

I have a woodmax log splitter that I love.... am considering a woodmax 3pt chipper to go with.

This is what we do. I do the main trails with a rotary cutter and and also use a zero turn around the trees - that lot isnt all that big. We've go 15 acres of woodlot that is mostly cleared under the trees. Mowing it 3 or 4 times a season keeps it clean and walkable. Can raise up the blade if...

FYI My neighbor had a similar tractor similar year - check your wiring underneath the complete harness - his tractor burned up the whole harness and he's a diesel mechanic. Some of the wiring could be soy based insulation + rats = fire hazard.

My 4wd lever in on the floor behind my foot on the left brake side My shift lever is on the console left side of the steering wheel - this is the one that will disable your tractor when the roll pin falls out I just had to tap mine back in the other day it worked its way out again. I duct...

Get a snow pusher for your tractor. Keep your pu truck in the shed. Yer welcome... hope you have a cab !!

Block Heater?? trickle charge your battery overnight set charger to "maintain" let it charge it really makes a difference.

shuttle shift linkage brake side

Fuse in the lower right hand corner is for the power shuttle on my tractor. The shuttle shifter has a pin that comes loose and it knocks out the power shuttle fuse. Check that and be sure your seat safety switch is operational.

Go easy - FELs aren't generally made to do this type of work. People been talking about bending the cross bars and tweaking the SSQA so be careful. I'd use the backhoe and park the dumpster close to the work area as possible. Can move and dump pieces with you FEL with forks.

Thats 1/2" steel plate - I dont think it bends that easy. There's no stress cracks in the paint and it bent like it was attached to the tractor when it was bent. Not sure how that happened but it had to have happened at the dealer or the factory.

Thanks guys yeah it "looks" bent but there aint no way it was bent on the tractor. There would be stress cracks in the paint and that steel is pretty thick I think at 1/2" steel I cant imagine the amount of force it would take to bend the guard?? Its not in the way of the FEL either it looks...

I bought a grill guard from broken anvil metal works and it doesn't fit right. They told me my grill is bent which it was like that when I bought it. Can someone please confirm my grill guard is bent or not bent - take a look at yours and see if its like mine please. I'm ok with adding a...

They sell Titan on Amazon free shipping no strings and free returns. There's one for 598$...

Also same mirror for a boomer 47 - part number is: New Holland #MT40260614

Flat land and tallish grass/hay cut a few times a year is easy work for a tractor. I have a 72" titan rotary cutter I run it pretty hard too. Tall grass is the easiest job I do. The 72" cutter is pretty heavy, so consider that but I'd go with the larger cutter since flat ground and just grass...

I think mine is a plug. My tractor is am MT3 52 tho... looks about the same in your pic. Where did you get your service manual??

I use chain and sometimes back up with the chain attached to hooks on my bucket. Never pull anything attached to a tow ball on a draw bar. I have a very large shackle attached to my tow bar. Backing up with a chain attached to the bucket can probably move 2-3 logs at a time. The bucket keeps...

purge water from your fuel filter yet??

Driveway flat or onna grade? Our MT352 with a 72" snow pusher does great uphill and down and we have at least 1/4 mile driveway onna mountain. IF you're onna incline - start going downhill first. My first cut with a pusher going uphill in heavy snow would be a problem without chains...

LS MT3 with a cab and a 72" brush hog + 72" rear tiller + delivery from OK to Upstate NY for 31K$ with 20 hrs onit. It was big when I first got it - we have 30 acres with 2 wood lots and fields that were left go for 15 years-ish so brush as high as the cab or higher. I can drive right thru the...

Can adjust the temp to add in some warm then you can leave the AC running full with cold + warm to keep it comfortable without having to turn the fan off. I do this in the winter when snow pushing - keeps the windows from condensating and I can see out all the windows. Fan switch is the...

Gotta part number for that?? I looked at New Holland version they want 600$ for it. forgettabout it.

This is spot on specially for an LS tractor. I used fuel from a backwoods gas station 1x - never again. Got water in my fuel filter, gelled fuel in the winter and my tractor went into limp mode in the middle of pushing a crap ton of snow. Get best fuel you can find from an over the road...

What do you use a strobe light for?

Yeah I'm on the "whats the codes?" boat. You should have gotten at least 2 codes. On your shuttle lever issue - what happened? Did the shuttle shift stop working? I had that and found the expansion pin on the floor beside the clutch. I thought I blew the tranny somehow, towed it out of...

trickle charge the battery overnight and clean your negative and ground points. Be sure you're not wasting your money and time. Batteries last pretty long if you maintain them. I'll hook mine up to a battery charger that auto switches to "maintain" mode after the battery charges up then I...

Its lkely the gear shift lever. Take your dash cover off and check your gear shift linkage under the dash. The gear shift for forward/neutral/reverse on the left side of your console has a gear shift lever. There's a tube inside another tube with a sort of cotter pin but its actually an...

money on parking brake not engaged at shut off.

Think of your gut as the same thing as a forest. They both work the same. The forest feeds the earth. The earth feeds you. All about fungi and bacteria. Everything on earth needs both to survive. How is the 300 acres gonna be farmed?? Gonna use pesticides, fungicides and herbicides that...

check your safety switch under the seat??

I thought your bars look different than mine so I went out and took a pic. Looks like my bar ends are beefed up as you can see there is a steel square tube they are inside of. I have a similar size 72" rotary cutter that I beat the crap out of doing brush 10' high. Here's what my arm looks like

There's a cover plate on the joystick for an LS version of a 3rd function - not sure where you can get the 3rd function parts tho but my cover plate fell off a few times and how I know about it. If thats something yer interested in.

Congrats - be sure and purchase the best diesel you can find. Its worth a few extra $$ don't cheap out on fuel. I learned the hard way.

Love my LS got it for a GREAT price with 20hrs onit. Parts and hard to find until you realize how many other tractor manufactures are made BY LS and the the parts thing is very very good. example - Case and New Holland

On my wife's honda I had to jack the engine up to get to the sensors on the engine. That was an all day affair. Helps that the engine is not covered with body parts fer sure. Your manual was a big help thanks. I'm glad I didn't have to clear the fault codes to get it back running. That...

Thanks again @Eagle1 - it worked. replaced the part with the New Holland equivalent started up and no codes she's baaaaack. Just in time to make potato rows and 95F today ouch. The key to replacing the crank sensor is removal of the starter. Once the starter is out of the way easy...

I found the removal/install in one of the manuals you linked me. Thanks sooo much for that. Going in today as my part is out for delivery. I'll try and take pics. Funny the parts catalog on LS website shows that part has been updated 3 times. Now wondering why that is?? I'm betting...

My MT3 has OBDII port. Need to take off the right side lower panel (2 bolts with handles) its under the ignition switch. Easy to get to.

ok thanks to @Eagle1 I found the crank sensor. Its BEHIND the starter motor. And BEHIND yeah that sucks. Prolly going to need to take the starter off to get toit. Anyone remove a starter on this engine?? Looking or any gotcha's I'm not aware of. Side note, looks like some debris...

this one??

Got the dreaded F02 636 error code. Looks like I need a new crank position sensor. I ordered a new one from Messicks that is on a New Holland tractor with the same engine as mine (l3c19-t). I found the part number on LS parts website and found the part at Messicks for a cool 165$ + ship...

+1 on the severe gear goo... good stuff. Use it in my truck and tractor.

Might be trying to go into regen. Hit your regen button and let it burn off the residue is my guess.

Not sure if its too late or not but I happen to have my drawbar out on the work bench trying to find the right size ball shank for it. The draw bar is thick you need at least a 2" long shank so thats the first hurdle. Its larger than 3/4" - Im thinking its 1" Here are pics to show. The pin...

I did the same as @Mrsig

This is what I have - works great and I have implements in there with the tractor. Its heavy duty been using it for 6 years so far can handle snow loads and wind and a tree fell on it and didn't rip or break anything...

Id prolly figure out a way to split that big trunk and/or build a nice big fire around it and have it as the center of a new brush pile. Might take all season but fire gets rid of most stuff like that. You're gonna move it but its still there and will outlive you. Burn burn burn

We have a 1000' driveway. The base is an old state road that was rebuilt adjancent to our property. The old road was cement built in the 50s or before. Previous owners put asphalt on top of the old road. Where the cracks in the cement road were are also in the asphalt. We get the asphalt...

I have a large solar array on part of 1 of our fields adjacent to our home. Its surrounded by .... wait for it..... TREES. We have the trees there to block the view of the panels from the road. There's no fire hazard. The "fix" for a solar farm being and eye sore is centrally located in...

I have bolt on chain hooks on the same loader and bucket. Just had to get long enough bolts to go thru the square tube across the top. I haven't found a need to add a hitch receiver yet. I pull a lot of stuff with the chains. I suppose it would be easier with a hitch but I'm not a fan of...

Well I paid 32K delivered for the tractor in my profile over der <------ with a 72" rotary mower and filled tires. Its a beast at 52hp - you will learn quickly how to drive on hills. Inna tractor the seat sits pretty high up so your comfort level will be slow going until you figure out your...

Same thing happened to me when I bought my Toyota Tacoma pu truck. At least they were honest and told me since I inquired about the pu truck ONLINE and went into the shop and took the test drive with another sales rep I had to pay both internet sales and shop sales peoples commissions which...

Use the ashes in your garden (pot-ash) just dont burn any plastics. We have a fire ring and do that - dont burn on windy days.

OP In Philly - I dont remember how soft the ground is in the spring when we lived there (Mt Airy), but up here in NYS Fingerlakes region the ground is VERY soft too soft to drive our 52hp tractor around without making pretty big tire tracks in the soft soil. We have 10 acres at least of grass...

We are doing woodlot maintenance ourselves. Looks like an EA grapple - what's the grapple is it the heavy duty and what size?? You're brave... I dont go in mud with my tractor if I can help it. Snow is melted and ground pretty soft right now so cutting logs and making fire wood here.

This ☝️☝️☝️ cash wins the deal. I'll hold for 100$ via paypal, google wallet etc when I have the cash I'll hold it for you and bring cash to purchase. I bought my big tractor online thru a reputable dealership that was 1/2 way across the country and had it shipped to me sight unseen. Was a wire...

Flop down hard on the seat. My bet is the seat switch. Can loosen the dial on the front of the seat so you're getting better contact with the seat safety switch. Its common.... the seat adjusted for a heavier person and then the seat contact switch doesn't engage. Eat more pizza.

You can adjust the seat tension to make it better for a lighter person (dial on the front of the seat). I wanted to disable mine but after running over a speed bump in my driveway (itsa long driveway) in 4th gear high was going about 20mph hit that speed bump, if I had an open station I would...

Might be frozen - that happened to me this year when the temps were really cold. After it warmed up back to normal.

This ^^^^ I have had this happen a few times with my LS MT352 - I have a telephone pole on my property. Put the pad on the pole and move slowly in the direction you want to adjust. When its off push the pad thats farther forward on the pole and go easy dont take much and tilt forward. check...

That was probably how I broke my zerk and the coupler. There likely was pressure there and I wasn't patient.

Maybe check to be sure the ECU cable is plugged in all the way (tractor off). @Eagle1 - can you look up F 14 error for me please? I get that from time to time with a big red exclamation "!" on the dash.

I switched to that exact coupler and it malfunctioned and the result was a broken coupler and and broken off nipple on my zerk. Good news was that Macnaught sent me out a replacement free of charge and free shipping. Bad news is having a huge issue finding the right size zerk to replace the...

Can you ask the dealer if they can cross reference the same parts from New Holland - there are several other companies LS makes tractors for.

I've owned Hondas for years. Just get a new crush washer and replace it every time you loosen the pan bolt. Tighten enough there's no leak and good to go. Been doing oil changes for my whole life never needed to use a torque wrench. Just test drive after change and check the pan for a drip...

Honey I'm going down into the field and plant some maters... I'm gonna be OK doing field work, wtf is wrong with you thats racist. Im going with a solid HUH? Bard plow 16-18" turns the soil 180 degrees. Neighbor farmer should do it but ya gotta make advance communications so he does it at...

Isn't that called the ESC engine speed control?? I think its for keeping the rpms at a specific setting until you hit the brake?? More useful for PTO than driving at a constant speed. I use my throttle on the dash - even for PTO speed. For driving on the road I use my right foot pedal.

Finger Lakes region. The mud and standing water is almost gone. Ticks are back OMG its in the 60s everything has thawed and water mud is drying up. Crazy.... Hope we get some more deep freeze and that will kill most of the tick larvae that'd be great. Was planing on doing some woods...

Warmed up to the high 50s today and my diesel melted back to normal thanks God - thought I blew up my engine in the arctic freeze.

My problems went away when the temps got up into the 40s F - tractor running GREAT and no more snow! Now worrying about why we are having a thaw in late December?? Everything should be rock solid now we have a mud layer with ice under it = recipe for drive-line issues like in the early...

Ironically, today I had the same problem luck had it that I was almost finished plowing. Got the F11 and a F04 error codes. I'm pretty sure its gelled fuel. Its cold AF here - even tho I added fuel treatment - Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement Antigel + Cetane Boost but since below 0F I...

Gelled fuel is my bet. Try adding in a little #1 diesel (kerosene) to thin it down a little bit. I've been worried about that same thing. I bought some #2 diesel at a Mobil station - had 2nd thoughts since it was a fuel stop out in the country not on the beaten path. I bought the diesel...

If you want really clean clothes hang them out in the snow/cold/rain - how the Amish doit. It works. We use soap nut powder for laundry detergent. No smell no scents and clean clothes. The cost of soap nut powder compared to laundry detergent is pennies to dollars and its good for the...

spinosad will kill the fleas - Look at Moterey garden Insect spray - its spinosad. You will need a small 1 gal or 2 gal sprayer and dilute 3 tbs with 1 gal water and spray the floors - it will sorta look like water but all the fleas have to do is walk on the residue from the spray and gone also...

This right here - my Stihl dealer is 2 miles from me has a Stihl sharpener charges me $6 per chain 1 day turnaround.

Too bad the search function doesn't work well. There are a bunch of threads here but I hadda use goggle to find them Here's one - if you wanna replace speakers the top lid of the cab swings up even has a prop rod! Radio

Id just go aftermarket and be done with it. You might be surprised at the similar build quality of the aftermarket parts specially if they were made in Korea.

LS makes tractors for New Holland - I'd check with them first before the others. Call a New Holland dealer and tell them what you're looking for.

The MT tractors indeed have a PTO shift lever on the left side of the seat. Yeah makes hooking up implements WAY easier.

No drop on my MS 352 full or empty. There might be an adjustment somewhere I cant remember but there might be something in the manual about it.. I remember someone saying something about it here but on another brand tractor.

Soy based wire insulation - what year is your tractor?

Nice Looking tractor. I like the black wheels. I have a MT352C with shuttle shift pretty much the same tractor its a beast for 52hp fer sure and wow fuel mileage is awesome. Just have to remember to use it up before the cold months get here. Ive got a red rotary cutter so its got that...

How many rear remotes are on your tractor??

Not sure where you're located but for snow be sure and get a cab version. You will thank me later. I think the MT3 are all pretty close to the same tractor. I have the MT3-52 with shuttle and we had 90+ " of snow this past winter. I use a snow pusher because driveway 1/3 mile long and paved...

No blower here, use a pusher wider than the tractor tires. All tires filled, I leave the tiller on the back for extra weight no chains with R4 tires. We get 90" of snow annually so yeah plow/remove with the storm dont wait it out. I've seen some full size tractors that waited out the storms...

Yeah they ain't certified organic just using that term a bit too liberally like the fertilizer they using. I've never bought a bag of chemical fertilizer. I'm not certified organic but thats how we grow. We make compost piles sustainably from what we have here on the property. Wood ash and...

Gypsum has sulfur in it as well as a good supply of Calcium. I like to add hardwood charcoal and ashes from our fire pit to our soil. Gypsum = calcium sulfate (CaSO4). Greensand = good stuff in a garden plot good source of potash as well and +30 other macro and micro elements great for...

Only prob I have is pin striping when brush cutting. my paint looks like **** now but the brush is a lot shorter.

wiring harness follow back from the starter look for wear on a wire.

I'm using grade 2 shear bolts. Maybe I should get some stronger bolts for this brush clearing job.

Good point - this is the only implement I have with a shear bolt. I'm in the process of clearing some heavy brush in a field that was let go before we bought the property. Its great cover for the deer and glad I have a cab went thru a few hornet nests pheeewww they were pissed. Kept hearing...

Tried that the after the first 2 times I blew it up. Useless couldn't even get the customer support person to understand what I was asking for even tho I gave her the part number from their website and helped her locate the webpage with the part number. Yeah wow....

This ^^^ I have an LS tractor that did that several times after I got it with 10hrs on it. I fixed it by sitting down HARD on the seat with tractor turned off. Never happened again after that. If you get off the seat without the parking brake set it will turn off after a short period of time.

Where we live I'm clearing about 15 acres of brush. It's got buckthorn. Hit the under 2" with rotary cutter then cut the field in spring and fall. The buckthorn doesn’t grow back if I hit it a few times a season with the rotary cutter.

OK blew up my shield on my rotary cutter at the back end of my drive shaft where the shear pin is. Shear pin broke and blew a hole and completely shattered tre shield. Pics attached. Where can I purchase a new shield? Rotary cutter is a Titan 1206. Btw went thru a bag of shear bolts clearing...

I use a Makita XWT - its got plenty of grunt 720#s of torque. Usually always works. IF that don't work a breaker bar with a 2" pipe and on the other end a coal mining pike that gets me 8' I've broke 1/2 craftsman breaker bars with it. IF that don't work time to get out the fire. bout to...

Is the port the blue thingy?

First off - the tiller is not a proper tool for breaking new ground. Even if you want to go no-till you need to break the ground with a different implement like a bottom plow. Then once the soil is turned over you can add in amendments and till those in with the tiller. For the tiller...

Air ride seat prolly the only thing thats going to help your back. Maybe some PT might help too.

This ^^^^ I ran over 2 HORNETS nests the last time I brush hogged. Watched those big fuggers bouncing off my cab windows. They were pissed. The nests were huge basketball sized - I ran one over cut it in half the other 1 I ran into with my fel. While they were bouncing off the windows I...

I have the same deal on my MT352 which is a Cat II 3pt hitch. I use cat I implements so use the top link as is and use bushings on the hitch arms. If you have cat II implements then you need a bushing for the top link. I keep several extra in the cab. I loose them frequently - forget they are...

Thats a 20-22K tractor just looked at tractor house recent sales. Great tractor but 110K. No way bro. Keep your implements for the next tractor. I paid 28K for a 2021 mt352 with 20 hrs on it. There are plenty of LS tractors for sale used and new for decent prices.

For virgin ground: Moldboard plow - turns the soil completely over to depth of 16-18" which disrupts the weed seed layer and the grass is now at the btm. 2nd pass: Tractor drawn PTO tiller. Add soil organic matter and pot-ash then till that in and grow a cover crop first year. Till in the...

We got a big tractor to do tractoring. Cutting brush or hay is a big tractor job. We got a zero turn to cut grass. A big tractor is terrible at cutting grass even with a rotary cutter because ruts happen. I can cut grass with the tractor and my rotary cutter after the ground gets hard...

When you grease it do NOT oil the springs. That will cause them to break. Thats what my old timer garage door guy told me about those wound springs. They work best with friction. With lubrication they slip to easy and instead of binding and slowing down they go full wound quickly and that...

They all sure look exactly the same except for pricing. The EA version is the best price. The Dirt Dog is next up in price and the Brush Hog version is WAY pricey. We have/had hard pan in our large garden plot. It wont really go away with plowing we needed to had soil organic matter...

can get modified ag tires for the ZT - Ive never tried them but have read reviews here and traction GREATLY improved specifically on steep hills. Here's a thread here with pic with talk about them: Tires - Running tractor tires on a zero turn

They likely flipped the tires for a wider stance. On hills prolly good flatish land not needed. I have hills and run a rotary mower but I need a narrow stance for tilling rows for our very large garden. overall rear tire width makes a difference when tilling rows. I prefer a narrow stance to...

+4 on the great price - nab it asap is my advice. I got my tractor with 20hrs on it but had to ship it and got a great price and I'm totally happy. My only concern would be is it large enough for your future and current needs? If its bigger than what you think you need then fer sure go for it.

I've got both shear pin and slipclutch drive shafts for different implements. Slip cluth needs to be adjusted usually every time I hook up whatever implement I'm using I adjust the bolts on the clutch only takes a few minutes and also grease the u-joints its just regular maintenance. Shear...

Id make an offer in the current ZT from the owner if its a decent one in good shape. Use that for cutting grass. Get a tractor for tractoring including brush hogging your overgrown in the spring or late fall. Flail mower is $$ not sure you need it. for 1 acre overgrown pay a neighbor to...

One way to roll over a tractor = drive in snow on a incline parallel to a bank and start sliding towards the bank instead of moving forward. Even tho the awd 4 tires a spinning forward but the tractor is sliding sideways towards the bank. On snow spinning tires are no traction gravity takes...

There was a guy with the same failure last week. Was a kubota.... something about water in the fuel. Here's the link https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/water-in-fuel-causes-10-000-damage-to-my-kubota-grand-l6060.453665/

Dont think they're free. $100 bucks last time I looked for one.

mount it all the way in towards the front of the tractor. Extend it when you need to. The way you have it in the pic will interfere with an attachment.

I use a snow PUSHER on my FEL. Drop the pusher and go float the FEL so the pusher glides over the blacktop driveway. I'd prolly gouge the driveway with a plow. We got 90" of snow last winter. So got a decent workout a few nights on an 1/3 mile long drive on a slight hill. You cant wait for...

My Gravely ZT HD 52 can do hills sideways or up n down. On a zero turn it takes a little practice. Some people get real uneasy on hills with a zero turn cause they aren't used to it. Also you cant cut wet grass. For lots of reasons on hills it get real slippery and you cant stop in wet...

You should have gotten a service log book, manuals for all attachments including a loader, the tractor manual and pto drive shaft manual. Printed in book form not a copy.

Seller name?? or link?

I may have missed it but did the op adjust his slip clutch. When it wears it needs to be tightened. This is something that needs to be checked every spring. Easy enough torque wrench the bolts on the clutch disc while connected to the implement and PTO gear engaged tractor off key in pocket...

OP is in Ontario - hes got snow from November to June :) I'm in upstate NY - burn baby burn. We have a burn ban in effect from February to mid May until everything is greened back up. There's a lot of dead dry material in the woods before May. Gotta be careful. My neighbor cleared a 100...

Try planting hemp... skip the ferts and weed spray. You should be way ahead of hay. My neighbor gets $370 for hay on like 5 acres. But that was because the buyer doesn't know how cheap hay can be bulk. I her an old saying: "if making hay was easy, everyone would do it"

Nice tractor GL with it. I got her little brother. mt352 CPS - been cutting grass in my open station Zero Turn lol, ground too soft right now to use the cutter. Feels good with AC or heat.

Check your rear remote handles - only 1 can be moved out the up position at a time. Thats all I got. IF you only have 1 rear remote control then I don't know.

Here's what I would tell him. I don't "lend" implements out. Here's what WE can do. its 50$ same as last year you still owe me. But since I'm neighborly I'll forgive last year and I will do whatever you need FOR you with MY tractor and MY implement for $50. Show up at an agreed upon time...

Wow good to know I have a your tractors little brother. I'd probably do that all the way on the other side of the property and not know what to do. Thanks for posting.

Many of the NH tractors in the 50hp category are made by LS - something to think about. My LS is 52hp and tbh pretty heavy 4400#s. I have to wait for the ground to harden to drive in the fields unless I wanna tear it up. I'm just now comfortable going out in the fields as its finally drying...

LS makes a bolt on front loader edge. Check with your local dealer see what the price is. FYI your FEL bucket aint made to dig. There's root grapples that do some digging or other specialty tools designed for digging that are QA ready. You can try digging... don't go too deep and dont dig...

Just an FYI - federal taxes on fuel haven't risen since 1993. Thats about the only federal influence of fuel prices. Raising taxes on fuel is a death nel for a sitting president. They wont touch it with a 10 foot pole for good reason. State taxes on the other hand thats a totally different...

Good one, my tractor supply is on the way to Ace.... I never make it to Ace. TS is 2 miles amazon is 2 clicks onna mouse and delivered free inna day or 2. Those snap links I use all the time should be like a dollar.

This exactly - you can use a plow and a disc and be done long before a tiller but the tiller is good for garden size or even a market garden. I can still till certain soils with my tiller for sweet corn but IF I was doing a large plot no way would I use a tiller.

Tighten the slip clutch with a torque wrench to spec. That will take care of the slipping. Run the pto at the proper speed for your tractor Go s l o w - 1st gear lo. I had my garden plot 150' x 75' plowed by my neighbor with a Moldboard Plow. It completely turns the soil over then you can...

Its no automatic. He got em all covered ^^^^

Reason they are eating wires = insulation made with soy based plastic instead of oil based. Those are usually silent recalls at you dealer. I have a Tacoma Toyota only used those wires for like 1.5 years and they took care of everyone that came into the shop with a problem but never made it a...

I see your drying rack for the flowers!!

Would this manual cover the MS3 52C by chance??

Stay outta the mud with turf tires and if you feel sporty, be sure you have a snatch strap for your pickup truck.

I wouldn't buy a 48" rotary cutter aka bush hog. I've got a larger zero turn can do more with that than a 48" cutter and a lot faster. Better to get a larger one say 72" if you need it. I paid around the same price for a brand new 72" cutter different brand. After using it for a season I...

Also there's a switch on the seat it wont start if no-one is sitting on the seat. Mine is super sensitive I have to sit down hard sometimes to get it to work and if I lean back too far looking back at implements it sometimes wants to shut the tractor down. Its annoying but its a safety feature...

Interesting read here. I started driving in 74 - that was the first and last automatic I ever had. 64 chevelle was my grandma's. We live in the country. Leave the keys in all the vehicles with manual trannys. My tractor probably impossible to steal and there's like 4 shifters (shuttle 16...

My 2021 MT352 has all manual controls. There's electronics and the dash lights up like Christmas but after that is all mechanical. So much so I sometimes think I need a 3rd arm with the shuttle shift. About the only thing electronic is the power shift where I dont have to push the clutch and...

All good advice here. Specially the words about what your intentions are. I have fields and woods with trails. I have a 52hp shuttle shift anything larger and I'd be digging up the fields. I do that now because I haven't learned when and when not to go on the grass with a 5K# tractor. In...

Nice tractor - GL with it. Maybe you got a creeper gear they dont include in the specs?? I have the little brother to yours with 16x16 and a creeper option. They dont include the creeper gear in the specs. Now wondering when I would need the creeper gear??

I like HLA - I have one of their standard duty snow pushers its VERY good quality made in Canada I think too. My local tractor dealer is also an HLA dealer they would deliver. Might give em a call. I dont see a QA attachment point on those?? How you doing it?

Nice rooster... how did you get your oil filter off?? I got the original on the tractor and the replacement is shorter so I can get a tool around the new one but the original is sitting right up against the return line for the hydraulics and its a pretty large tube. Looks like I'm going to...

Niiice thanks for the info - which W.R. Long kit did you get?? I looked and now confused. My tractor already has the 3rd function installed from the factory so I have a lever in the cab already. All I need is hoses. Be real nice if that was inna kit??

Not to change the subject but what grapple did you get?? Where did you purchase your hydraulic lines?? GL with the dealer. Its probably something small over looked. These tractors a built like tanks. I was in the garden with a large tiller tilling our large garden patch. Got a granite rock...

Sounds like too much soot to me. I have a MT352 only re-gened 1x in 50+ hours during snow removal I only noticed cause the ice was melting off the snow bucket faster than usual and looked at the light for re-gen was on only lasted about 10 minutes and noticed no difference in performance...

Umm I didn't pay any sales tax when I bought my tractor last year. AG stuff here in USA is mostly exempt from taxes. GL with your new tractor. That 13% tho helps pay for FREE healthcare.... something missing here in the US sadly. We would rather pay corporate heads that extra tax you pay...

Was this ever resolved?? I have the same issue with a very similar tractor MT352. Curl cyliders Trying to line up the QA Close up of the QA points each side this is a PITA trying to attach an implement specially a heavy one like a snow pusher. I dont store the implements on flat ground...

OK so I hit into a small tree with my bucket in the mud. My bucket actually came loose and dont know weather it wasn't attached properly or I just hit it hard enough to knock it loose from the SSQA bracket. Anyways when I went to re-attach the bucket to the plates, the SSQA plates on each...

Y-not use the ball hitch on the back of the tractor! :D Mine is right below the top link in between the lower link arms.

Oil on the futures market in 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic was NEGATIVE meaning they couldn't give it away why on earth would any company want to spend money to drill for oil. Here's your facts and numbers: "On April 20, 2020, the front-month May 2020 WTI crude contract dropped 306%, or...

Your argument falls flat when gas prices are +$4/gal. Look at the number of leases ***** handed out compared to lease numbers handed out by the Trumps. Its not about oil pipelines or about clean water its about the economics. You arent going to plant your corn field unless the federal...

Love my 52hp LS

To reset you ECM module leave the battery disconnected for 20 minutes or so. Discharge the capacitors that retain energy to remember everything. Stalling and up and down rpms sounds like some issue with a sensor maybe the gas pedal. Look at the wires and the connections there and clean and...

I have the shuttle shift transmission!

Amyone know where I can purchase my 50 hour filter change kit??

Woa ouch. I routinely move piles of snow. Sorta worried a little bit when I push into a pile I'm going to wear out parts on the FEL... I do get the front tires spinning ... could happen if one tire all of a sudden hit solid ground on 1 side and get a lot of traction all of a sudden. bam...

My neighbor does everything you do and then pushes snow for all the neighbors in the winter. Has the Kubota... Stopped over to see my new LS tractor and said "at least its not a Kioti".

I gotta used LS with 20 hrs onit for the price you talking. But a MT352 with FEL and bought a snow pusher instead of a blower. Pusher more fun and CAB to go with. Less parts = less issues and easy to attach.

Not for nothing but the process of small family run businesses making 1 part or a few parts has been a thing in Europe for a long time. Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, VW to name a few all have the same or very similar parts made by those small family run companies. Parts shipped to assembly lines...

Grow meadows, cut around the edges weekly - brush hog the meadow 2x a year.

Buy a small bag of Sulfur prills pure sulfur its like 99.9% elemental sulfur. Spread some around the perimiter of the areas you want to get rid of rodents. They absolutely HATE sulfur. If they walk in it which they wont they will stop and lick it off their feet (very acidic) and it will kill...

Grow healthy soil and you dont need that poison. You know it causes cancer right? I live in farm country. Everyone dies of cancer here. Some get it when they are young'ins which is terrible for the families. If you think its almost safe enough to drink - have at it. After you.....

Hoo-man evolved from worms... so ya no doubt. We are the only species that has been able to alter climate. Thats pretty invasive.

R4 likely... if you dont want to leave ruts stay off the grass when its soft. Its really that simple. The low areas you're going to tear up the turf. IF you wait till the grass/field is dry-ish you should be ok. Pro tip: Dont tractor when there's frost and its been above freezing for a...

Part number ?? Is that a 54" bucket?

Great to hear - I love mine same tractor with shuttle shift. Its been awesome for us as well with no problems. Thanks for the tip on the fuel line and the cam shaft sensor. Where is that sensor located?? Got any pics?? TIA I've been super happy with my LS MT352C. It sure gets around in the...

I have a 2021 LS MT3 with shuttle shift - I've got the seat switch. I needed to loosen my spring on the seat for a lighter person and the problem I was having when leaning the engine would shut off.. problem solved by loosening the spring on the seat suspension.

I had the problem where IF I wasn't seated right in the center if I turned around to look while backing up and changed my butt angle the tractor wanted to shut off. What I did was loosen the seat spring (for lighter person setting) and no more shut offs. Also yeah - parking brake set and...

This ^^^ I've used my R4s in everything and they are fine. Even deep mud. Put my foot down on the diff lock and back out when in need. I got turfs on my zero turn... I can dig up our soft turf pretty good with both TBH, and probably completely shred turf with the R4s - the zero turn just gets...

I live in NYS due west of the OP. I've started my tractor when its -10F no problems. Start her up and let her get warm. Idle her at 1200-1400rpms for 10-15 minutes till I got some heat in the cab and get toit. We got a lot of snow this year. Last snow I was pushing snow for 6-8 hrs gota nice...

I got that the other day tractoring in 15" of snow on an incline. Even tho I was headed straight up the small incline with the snow I started sliding sideways headed for an even steeper bank to my left side. I got that oh **** feeling. took foot off throttle let the tractor come to a sliding...

Buy from a reputable tractor re-seller or a dealer. I got a used 20 hr LS for a GREAT price everything was perfect.

You guys use your armrest??

Careful what you wish for. I bought a snow pusher and mounted it on my QA the snow held off for a 1 1/2 months then 20 inches overnight. Been snowing ever since. Lock n Lube 4th that and a good grease gun and grease. Tractors have a crap ton of zirks they everywhere. I bought a brush...

I have asphalt. Before I got my tractor my neighbor plowed my drive with a Kubota M90 something ... he did it first year with a blade and last year with a pusher. He was in and out with the pusher so less time also the blade left marks on my asphalt where it dug in a few places. The pusher...

I don't even know where to buy the off-road diesel around where we live and its farm country. I'm sure there's a place. We have a T&A (always thought was **** and ass :D) truck stop down the hill. It gets a ton of traffic. I use the road diesel and wait to fill up tanks after beginning of...

We just got 18" plus several 1-2 snows. I have a 72" HLA snow pusher on a MT-352 LS tractor with R4 tires dont need chains. Pushed about 20" down our trail no problems. When I got tires spinning just backed up lifted bucket a 4" ish and pushed pile to the side and resumed up the trail. Float...

I have an HLA snow pusher with a backdrag and btm pusher rubber edges. They both scrape down to asphalt perfect dont leave marks. Best to use before anyone drives on the driveway. I have metal side skids. In hindsight I'd probably get the plastic replaceable side skids. The standard metal...

I'm totally happy with my MT352 with cab. Its bigger than I need (for now) has every feature you can get on a tractor standard with Cab model. I just spent 6 hrs pushing snow on Monday in -10C temps while it was still snowing. I was REAL nice had to take off my jacket and open a side window...

We got hit pretty hard last night and its still snowing in Finger Lakes region upstate NY. About a foot or more of powder. Man I love my heated cab. Even hadda open a widow I got too hot and needed to vent some moisture. I waited till early AM 7ish got out there and started plowing got it...

here's the link for the LS part number you need http://lspo.lsmtron.com/PartsList/wpc2000_MAIN.aspx Click on the gear looking thingy - that will open a window you can search by part name. For part name type "BLADE KIT-BUCKET" without the quotes. This will get you every blade kit LS makes...

Old thread for the 4106 loader the bucket blade kit number is: FTB00-7200A - old number 40381450 - new part number This kit fits several different loaders with the 72" bucket.
