Less Is More Tractor XG3025H
Model Year: 2016
We shopped for at least a year before buying this XG3025 2016 and had to special order it, but it was worth the wait. The reason we took so long was the cost of the green and orange units. We just could not see spending that kind of money for a home use tractor. We now have twice the tractor and attachments for less dollars with a better warranty. The LS has proved its worth every day we went without buying the wrong tractor in the beginning. We don't use it for mowing the pasture nor the house yard. It works to dig out pine stumps, drags 40-foot logs, digs drainage, deepens the pond, moves storm damage (hurricane Matthew), helps build the new fence, etc. We bought a neat package: front bucket, back hoe (2 bucket sizes), PHD post hole digger), and an HD box blade from the Ocala dealer in Florida. I do most of the operating and my husband does all the chain sawing and hook-up and directing LOL. The tractor is so simple to operate I wonder why we waited to be in our late 60s and early 70s to get one. We did the first maintenance on it and that was okay with the dealer. IT needed a pin replaced holding the back hoe bucket. The dealer had it shipped to us with just a phone call. Thank you Allen Lawn & Tractor of Ocala, Florida. Good service !!! This XG3025H has actually saved us money. Had we used professional stump, tree service, and fence guys we would still be paying or just not having it done. The LS gives a sense of pride to ones home when you can do a lot of the work yourself. It's still hard and it takes some learning about the controls, but its all doable with the correct equipment.
Pros: The cost was so much (1,000s) better that the Green or Orange teams
Cons: Lost some nuts and bolts during the first work week and some fittings had not been greased
