LS Tractor LSR4041 4.60 star(s) (13)

LS 4041
Model Year: 0

This tractor has performed flawlessly. I've used the front-end loader quite a lot using the bucket, forks, and grapple. There have been no issues, except when using the front-end loader if I ride the clutch too much it does heat up some. I use it for raking hay, working in the garden, bush hogging, finish mowing, and moving logs for firewood. It's just all around work around a small farm of 120 acres. It has never had any issues mechanically at all. I would buy another one. If anyone was comparing these to the New Hollands, look at the manufactures plate. The New Hollands were being produced by LS.

Pros: Price, reliability
Cons: None really

Not Built To Last
Model Year: 2013

At 160 hours the injector pump went out and cost $1,500 plus labor, so that's $2,000 plus a 2-year warranty on injectors and a pump?? I'm having it redone at a shop now. There is no good will warranty at all. For just a little bit more I could have bought a 110 John Deere. Don't buy a LS. They are over priced junk. The dealer was great.

Pros: Works great first 150 hours or so
Cons: Over priced, not much of a warranty

Broken Transmission
Model Year: 2015

After 58 hours of use, brush hogging, plowing and snow removal, I was riding down a back country road in high range, 2,000 rpm, going to another job. The transmission locked up in that range, after moving the range lever it finally got in low range and took me 2 hours to get home 3 miles.

Pros: At least I was warm
Cons: Getting the run around from LS, the dealer is fine

Great Tractor, Awesome Value
Model Year: 2013

I run a 10 acre, organic vegetable farm. My criteria for a tractor were simple, but specific. Geared tractor for plow/disk. loader. 4WD, heavy, solid, well built, and a creeper for transplanting---that was the stickler. Nobody at the major dealers were interested in solving this problem. All wanted to sell me an HST. Other problem was my time frame. Looked for 9 months at used, a lot of junk out there or high hours. No warranty, and I don't have time to lay under a tractor during the growing season. Solution? LS! 5 year warranty.16 speed tranny gets me close enough to creeper. Best part---$20K, on the nose. JD, Kubota/New Holland, and others couldn't come close. Ironic, since the Boomer 40 is the exact same tractor. Kubota didn't even mention it, wanted to sell me an MX5100 2WD for $17K, not even close! All in all, great tractor. Hydraulic steering motor started leaking @ 6 hrs., but dealer came out and replaced it promptly. It pulls my 8' disc without a hitch. Transplants plants at 12" spacing. Could use a little more legroom in the cockpit by moving the seat up higher off the deck (it's at it highest point now), but I can modify that. I'm 6', so I'd like a better angle for my knees. You owe it to yourself and your budget to check out LS, they want your business!

Pros: Solid machine, Mitsubishi engine, well designed as a whole.
Cons: Gas tank behind seat (tough to fill), hydraulic filter must be changed FAST or all the fluid leaks out super fast (see thread on filters at top of forum).

Excellent Value

Nice looking tractor. Nothing but good things to say about it so far.

Pros: Strong tractor and loader.
Cons: Filters are expensive.

Best Value Out There!
Model Year: 2013

I researched every tractor out there. The LS R4041 is exactly what I needed to maintain 35 acres. This tractor measures up to any tractor out there. Heavy built, comes stock with rear remotes, shuttle shift and no extra charge for the front end loader like some of the "popular" dealers. This is a beast of a machine and the best value I could have found!

Pros: Shuttle shift, rear remotes, location of shifters and hydraulic joystick.
Cons: Emergency brake needs relocation.

Just Took Delivery
Model Year: 2013

Seems like a great tractor. After months of research, the R4041 seemed like the best choice for me. Looking forward to many years of use.

Pros: Rugged built tractor.
Cons: Loader bolts and tires were loose from factory.

Good Tool
Model Year: 2012

This tractor has done all that I ask. I have used a Bush Hog, rake, post hole digger, disc, box blade, and it came with the front end loader. All the hard jobs have been made simple and saved me a lot of time. In the process of building a roof for it.

Pros: Strength and versatility.
Cons: Paint cracked in some spots where water can gather.

R4041 Tractor 4x4
Model Year: 2011

Purchased tractor and Equipment from RCO Tractor in Austin, Texas. Tractor and equipment have performed as expected and I am pleased. It is not a tractor fault, but I would prefer the backhoe (1) more breakout power and (2) the controls to react better - still not bad, just my preference. All in all for price very good deal.

Pros: Good tractor and equipment.
Cons: None at this time.
