Joined the XR4155 club today.

Pulled the plug and purchased a new LS XR4155 today. Reverser transmission and R4 tires. Also added a front bale spear, pallet forks and a FMR2584 Land Pride finish mower. Supposed to be here in 10 business days or less. Pictures then.

Congratulations!! I'm really enjoying mine! It handles round bales on the loader really well, I do it in 2 wheel drive in fact. It also handles the 8' dual spindle brush cutter easily. I'm loving mine so far, and plan on some seat time tomorrow. I think you made a good choice, and I bet you will love it!

Thanks. Having some trouble getting it. Seams dealer can't get his hands on one. Today was 2 weeks after order. And promised deliver by date. Also a week after the original factory pickup date. Dealer not returning calls either. I'm beginning to wonder.

Probably the last update for this thread. Not the way I wanted it to happen but cancelled the order today.

After 4 missed delivery dates and 4 different excuses. Guaranteed delivery by last Friday which was 2 weeks after order and 1 week after original delivery date. Dealer doesn't have one on lot and hasn't had time to go get one, evidently. I told dealer if he was interested in selling a tractor to call me when it was sitting on his lot and we'd see if I was still in the market, but I wasn't waiting on him any longer. His boss said he wasn't going to pick up a tractor that wasn't sold so he'd call factory and cancel the order. Tractor was ready at factory.

So unless I can find one somewhere else I guess I'll be going with a different brand. Hate it as I think LS has a good product going.

I would definitely recommend you find another LS dealer. Maybe see if you can reach out to the regional LS representative.. I can't believe a dealer would treat a customer this way...

I've done some calling around and next closest dealer isn't interested either. Seems I'm too far away if he has to do any warranty work. I'm still looking. There's a couple more dealers in the state. One is advertising state wide so I think I'll give him a call.

Any update? Were you able to get an LS?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to report I couldn't find an LS. Closest dealer that would talk to me was over 4 hours away. He had one on lot but I couldn't get away. Plus his prices were several thousand higher than the original dealer. He was pricing above a Kubota and couldn't get a finish mower. I ended up going with a Kubota MX5200 2 remotes,!rear work lights, R4 tires with loader, light material bucket, forks, bale spear and LP finish mower.

Bought the Kubota from a dealer that has 3 stores within an hour of me. Plus Kubota has 2!more dealers both with multiple stores within that same hours drive. Had problems getting the Kubota also. Dealer had tractor and attachments on lot but Kubota had a supply issue with the remotes. Had to return a batch to manufacturer because of a defect. Dealer let me take delivery the 10th of December and then came back after the first of the year picked it up and installed the remotes. Very happy. I've already put over 70 hours on it. I believe I would have been just as happy with the LS had I gotten it.
