LS Autothrottle

[GregP27]

Hi guys,

Does LS offer the autothrottle / linked-pedal option where the engine throttles up as you press the HST pedal?

Been looking and haven't seen it yet; thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

I don't believe so but, then again, my tractor is four years old.

Negative on my '16 LS4155HC.

My 16 XG3032H doesnt have it.

The MT125 does not.

Thanks, guys. I guess it is no in general.

It's such a useful feature that it effectively takes LS off my list of candidates, but they are still nice tractors. However, when I get one, I'll get the features I want.

There is an Engine Speed Cruise Control (ESC) at least on the XR models. Not sure when or why its used but you can set the engine speed and vary it with a switch up or down.

Thanks. I was looking for the same feature you find on Kubota, Kioti, and a few others where the throttle advances with the hydrostatic pedal. Kubota calls it autothrottle and Kioti calls it linked pedal. Appreciate the information!

I had my LS MT357HC delivered today and it has the "linked pedal" switch on the dash. It works great. LS will probably get sued by Kioti for calling it "linked pedal"

I have an '11 XR3037HC with the "Cruise" feature.
It works great but out of the factory the wiring for said feature skims the exhaust manifold. Melts the coax on the wire.
Then creates a dead short.
At least it did in my model year.
It left me stranded with a dead tractor out in the field.
Had to drag it back to the shop & haul its' behind back to the dealer back when it was new.
Geez, that was almost 10 years ago!
It's been a pretty good tractor all these years.
