Looking at XG3025H or XG3032H

[ChugiakTinkerer]

I'm liking the XG3025H for my remote property compared to the XJ2025H. I am also considering a backhoe attachment. The LS web site has little info on the XG3025 and it suggests that a backhoe attachment is not offered. Does anyone know if the XG3025H will take a backhoe, or will I have to move up to the XG3032H to get that attachment?

The LS site lists the LB1106 as the BH for an XG3025. That I believe is a 6' BH where the XG3032 would use a 6 1/2' BH LB1105. Bring up each link and scroll down to the bottom. The BH's are listed but both show 6 1/2' digging depth.

Thanks George, I guess it's an oversight on their web site. The XG3025H web page only lists the loader under attachments: XG325H-24.4HP | LS Tractor

Looking at the Backhoes web page ( Backhoes | LS Tractor ) the only tractor listed for the LB1106 backhoe is the XG3025. Every other loader has the hydrostatic as well as the shuttle model listed. So either there is something about the XG3025H that precludes mounting the LB1106 backhoe, or they've just got a mangled web site that is incomplete in this regard. I guess I'll ask my local dealer when I hit him up for current prices.

Yes, it seems the website is messed up since they revised it but I'm pretty sure the LB1106 is available for both the XG3025 and XG3025H. The other models each use their respective BH whether they are Gear or HST. Confirm with your dealer but I don't see why it won't work with an HST. Might only be a typo on the site.

Check this link. Another member has an XG3025H with the BH. See Post# 7

Go with the 30 series maybe even the 40 series. When I bought mine I looked at the 20 but my dealer saI'd it would be too small for what I needed and land I have

I have the XG3025H on order right now. The backhoe listed does work. i contacted LS just to make sure and it does. I am coming from an old Massey 2135, Had a 8N before that. From what i have read the 3025 does a good amount of work. i would not want to put much more that a 5 foot brush hog on it yet besides that it should work well.
One of the things i looked at was the fact that under 25 HP you do not have to worry about the pollution stuff.

Good luck.

My vote is for the 30 series the 25 is a 24 hp and the 32 is more hp same frame . I cleared brush , knocked down trees with mine and the ratchet rake.
