Tractor looks GREAT. Be sure to check the tire pressure. Dealers like to over inflate for various reasons, but very common to be over inflated. ;)

Congrats & Welcome, I'm very happy with mine so far!

Nice looking tractor! I actually hadn't given LS a thought, but after seeing yours I checked out their site and like what I see. I'm a big fan of Shibaura engines and two-pedal hydros, and I see LS has both. 12.5 front tires are a huge plus. I'm gonna have to go sit in one and see how the joystick and 3pt controls feel.

How do you lower pressure with loaded tires?

Well, they should not be filled above the valve stem with it at the top-12 o'clock position. Just let some air out. ;)

My question would be, why were they ever over inflated at all? :confused2:

As you posted"The Dealers like to do that" If I let the air out I will also let the fluid out too. Any other idears?

Is your little New Holland getting "worn out?"

I prefer to think of it as well worn...like a good pair of cowboy boots. :D I do realize that it won't last forever so I'm checking other options out.

I don't know what I'll end up getting, but I can guarantee it won't be a Mahindra. They have the worst loader stick ergonomics I've seen since the 70's. My NH dealer carries them instead of rebranded LS tractors. I love my dealer...but not that much.
