New LS Skid Steer

Somehow I knew you'd get to getting people to click a link to your site.

Looks like it could use a hoop to run the hydrolic lines through when hooking up a front implement. Otherwise the lines will likely get ripped off. ... and the undercarriage looks familiar.. .. my kid has a rigid undercarriage like that does...after operating one with the ASV setup .....makes me want one of those.

Even the wifey said "nice"...... Then said "NO, we are NOT getting one".... Oh well....

Yep, I had the same thought..... He only comes on with links to his page for more "hits".

If you came here for thoughts on the the machine the door is junk, the bucket is junk, the mirrors and lights wouldn’t last a day in the woods and the hoses across the back of the boom aren’t great either.

Agree with all above. Hose routing over the back of the boom especially. A few hours running my brush cutter in the thick stuff and these lines would likely be toast. Seeing the engeneering on this makes me think whoever designed it has not spent time in the seat of one. An easy pass from me just from the few pics.

Visibility out the back looks horrible as well. One thing I really like about the case tr340 I own. Visibilty is excellent out the back. No rear view camera needed.

I’d like to look over the thing in person to see what else they screwed up. Agreed with the observation that whoever built it probably hasn’t used one. Also agree that the rear visibility is awful. The side viability looks awful too. The rear hatch and bumper isn’t very beefy either. Also agree that I wouldn’t buy one. Epic fail of a skid loader IMO. I foresee a short LS CTL future or drastic changes one.

LOL you guys are brutal... unfairly. Let's wait until (and if) it actually gets released, give it a fair test in person, and then decide.

LS has been making good tractors and, by all accounts, make an effort to adapt to customer needs and wants.

I've operated track machines from most manufacturers and NONE of them are perfect, and I can easily nitpick negatives from every machine out there. Let's give this one a chance before we condemn it.

So coming from another skid steer user was I wrong on any of the points?
