    That did the trick! When all else fails, "reboot." Thanks.

    MT573 Radio Froze

    I'm looking at Pioneer, almost as good as Kenwood but a little less costly. [emoji41]

    MT573 Radio Froze

    Xfaxman, I'll give that a try tomorrow. Torvy, I had thought of replacing this radio before this incident, but didn't want to order one that wouldn't fit. (otherwise, I am pleased with the creature comforts) TimberFarm, I agree with your assessment of the manual and the complexity of the...

    MT573 Radio Froze

    The ETL MCA radio on my LS MT573 suddenly quit working a few days ago - no FM, no Bluetooth, no phone, nothing. Below is a picture that the screen is frozen on. Has anyone else had this problem with their LS tractor radio? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks much.

    New LS MT573cps

    I've had my MT573 CPS for almost five years and have had no mechanical problems with it. Last year, for some unknown reason, the driver's side door shattered into a thousand pieces upon closing. It was not unduly "slammed" or otherwise mistreated. Anyway, I really like the four-wheel drive...

    Rake John Deere 640 Hay Rake Gear Box Maintenance?

    Sorry to be so late in thanking all of you for your replies. My rake has a plate held in place by bolts, so it's time to check if the grease is good. Thanks much!

    Has Anyone Upgraded Speakers on a MT573?

    I would like to upgrade the speakers in my MT573 and would appreciate any advice from an owner who has done this. Looking at other threads regarding upgrading speakers in other LG tractors, it appears that the speakers are located in the cabin ceiling and are relatively easy to access...

    XU or MT5

    I bought my MT573 in 2017; it probably had not been on the market long. The size, HP, and standard features for the $$$ were what caught my attention. My experience with this machine has been very good with only a couple of minor problems that wer repaired under warranty. I use this tractor...

    Radio

    My MT573 came with (standard) a Chinese or Korean ETL MCA Model 2015 and the afore mentioned "crappy" little speakers. I normally listen to NPR or podcasts, so the speakers aren't a big deal. I have thought about upgrading the speakers but didn't know if thay would be difficult to access.

    Is This a Good Price for a MT573C?

    Well, I'm taking the plunge. Today I visited the LS dealer nearest to me and checked out the MT57 and like it very much. I asked the salesman a number of questions and carefully inspected the cab interior, the seat would not go back a distance that is comfortable for me but the salesman said...

    Is a XU5055C or XU6158C Adequate for my Needs?

    I am not familiar with the Pat System. Will it be necessary to modify my implements?

    Is a XU5055C or XU6158C Adequate for my Needs?

    In shopping for a new tractor, I, like moat, must have one that will operate specific pieces of equipment. I am replacing a 1985 Ford 340B (inherited from family business) industrial tractor which has a quick attach skid steer compatible front end loader. The front end loader is fitted with...

    Which to Buy: DK5510 or NX5510 and Pricing Please

    I currently have a Ford 4610 (63 hp) and a Ford 309B/Industrial (50 hp) and would like to trade the 309B for a newer, more modern tractor. Although the 309B has a FEL on which I have installed a quick-attach device and I have forks, grapple and bucket, I need a backhoe. I also have a Hardee...
