LS U5030C Unloading Hay

DavidBR · Dec 14, 2012

Hey everyone. Had a few extra minutes today so I got some photos of the LS in action unloading some round bales off a truck. We are in the process of getting our hay shed renovated so we didn't get a whole truckload to sit out in the weather. The truck normally brings 18 rolls. The tires are loaded on this tractor and it is exceptionally stable even without a counterweight on the back of the tractor. Hope y'all enjoy.

Nice photos, and good looking rig! I hit 90 hrs on my little R3039H, and not a single problem, so I'm really enjoying my little blue machine.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Thought I would post a few more pictures of just the tractor since y'all seem to like them. The Loader on this LS has a good reach for the HP of the tractor. It's not all the way up in the pictures. Hope y'all enjoy.

Is that a hay unroller on the back. Putting a bale on it would be perfect rear ballast for additionally removing the weight from the front axles even if it is stable as is.
NICE RIG BY THE WAY.

Yep that's exactly what it is. A American made hay unroller at that. For stacking 3 rolls high I agree it would be good to have a roll on the back. The LS U5030C is a fairly heavy tractor 5000lbs just tractor, around 1000lbs of ballast in tires, and the loader weighs around 1500lbs. All this weight just makes it into a very stable machine. I was worried when I first got the tractor that it would bog down real easily, because of all the weight, but even in our bottomland pasture it catches a grip very well. Thanks guys.
