New XG3135 Member

[Walter L]

New owner of a LS XG3135, traded in my Mahindra 3016 . Had a rear remote install to use on a hydrolic top link, it is real handy when using garden equipment like a double disk, tiller ect and another handle to be installed on the right fender it came with one on the left but not one on the right?? and i use them all the time when cutting grass on the side of a hill with a 6 ft finish mower.
Everything i have read about the LS tractor has been impressive and anyway i generaly do my own repair and always do the service work. I looked at the TYM also but the deal on the LS ( a good bit cheaper) with a Dealer 25 miles with the positive reviews won out, the best deal on the TYM was over 200 miles away.
**** I do love tractors!

Congrats on the new tractor :thumbsup:

I have the same tractor. What did the rear remote cost you?

There were two sets of rear remotes on the tractor when I bought it . The dealer said that they would have been around a thousand dollars if I had ordered them . That price is probably a bit inflated though .

I just got a new 3140 couple weeks ago, i had dual remotes installed, lt cost $550,, they are slick, my only complaint is that neither one has float, but one does have a detent so it can be kept on for backhoe use

Great on the remotes. For years I had a tractor with no FEL and no remotes. I could have used both many times over the past 25 years or so. With the rear remotes, it opens up the ability to buy and use some much more attachments. I think if a tractor (even a compact) come with a FEL, it should have 2 rear remotes and standard. And maybe a 3rd function. I never heard of anyone with a grapple that said 'I should have never got one'.

Trikejay it was part of our negotiation on the tractor but the best i remember he said the kit was around $250 his price and did not get into the install price.
I also talked to him about the XR3135 that is the Delux with twin remots a better seat along with other things i didnt need including the higher price. In my case i have no use for twin remotes but would not mind the better seat but every time i looked at the price of $1000 + increase in price the seat on the XG started to feel good to my old butt.

Trikejay this is what the install looks like. I belive i could do the install easily.

I agree!

Thanks for the info! I am going to have to ask my dealer about getting me a set of remotes. It will come in handy I am sure.
