LS 4041H

[Sherminator]

I GOT IT! Delivered today. The guys at Top Flight Equipment in Conroe Texas RULE. Jeff the salesman, never met him face to face, but he took great care of me and the delivery guy, Doug, another fine gentleman. Little lacking in partucular information, but other than that a great guy and a positive image for Top Flight Equipment.

Now, I want to get the remotes to run a grapple bucket up front. I need suggestions on how to run the lines to keep them protected. I plan to lay everything out with an old used water hose, but suggestions are welcome. I'm clearing six acres of land with two daughters and a wife and lazy friends. So as you can see I will be doing most of the heavy stuff by myself while the girls complain about dirty socks and underwear.

I would post a picture, but like horse shoes, you seen one, you've seem them all. Nothing differnt about mine.

My other tractor is a 1989 Sea Ray 340EC. Used for ploying the water and polluting the air at 16 cylinders an hour.

Congrats Sherminator, but you might as well get the camera out and post a few pics before the rest of the guys get wind of your heresy -- new tractor pics are sacred around here.

Congrats!! I hope you are enjoying yours as much as I have been enjoying my new LS.. Seems like a lot of buyers are seeing the value and quality of the LS line..

Ok here is an issue I know nothing about. My new brush hog, Mihindra, is shearing the pin on start up. I turn it by hand and the cutter spins free. Three pins later same issue. As soon as the PTO engages, there goes the pin. Started with low RPMs, mid range and also with the cutter off the ground. Then run out of bolts. Seems like the sudden "jerk" when the PTO engages is too much for the shear bolt. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need different shear bolts or should I have gotten the clutch style <This item is too late

Thanks and I'll post some pics since they appear to be MANDATORY. Or is it just a right of passage to be an new owner?

I had the same problem, I just idled the engine all the way down not mid range as low as it will go before starting the PTO, then run the engine speed up to 540 speed.

Nah, not really a big deal, but most of us post a few pics of their new ride in its new environment.

My dealer told me always idle down to minimum anytime I engage or disengage the PTO.

I purchased a slip clutch at Tractor Supply after experiencing the same issue, well worth the time saved and money spent!

Congrats on the new tractor.

Here's what I did:






















I left slack at the bottom because I still need to add quick connects at that connection for if/when I take the loader off. I also still need to add a mounting plate at the loader front cross member, so the ends are better secured.
