Welcome to TBN............................

It does seem like you are the first member to own an XG3025H. I could find no other posts about one.
Someone had be the first, I guess its you. Congrats on your new tractor.

I bought an XG 3032H in July. Nothing but fun!!

 

[ehinson]

Well I really love it, I only have 5 acres but it gets used and will even more.

Really love the front end loader!!

Getting use to the HST was a little bit of a change.

I had an old 9N that croaked so I have all the attachments from it.

I added a small ammo can tool box on the back, an led work light, and an led light bar on the roll over bar.

We recently bought new a XG3025H in May of 2016.
Along w/ the basic tractor was the LL3110 Front Loader.
Back Hoe LB1106 w/ 9 & 12 inch buckets
Box Blade 60'' TP
Post Hole Digger, 9'' auger TP
This was a package deal from the dealer & not LS.

We spent a lot of time & traveled to a few Orange & Greene dealers. No one would come near to this deal.
There is now just over 100 hrs on the tractor. Most if it back hoe work & hauling away stumps & hurricane trash.

We cannot say any thing bad about this XG3025H. Wife took to it right away. It could use a larger fuel tank.

Mine is still going strong, I can't find enough to do with it, **** drought here put a damper on a few plans.

Plus we are getting the smoke from the wildfires in North Ga

 

[Big Blue Florida]

Strange as this may sound but we too in Jax, FL are getting smoke from the N GA fires.

 

[hturner12]

That does not sound strange. Today was not bad. The big fire is over 20000 acres and only 30% contained. They may have it around Christmas. It is the national forest. We may get a little rain next week

I know, the other day I noticed it in the valley here, so I got the police scanner out, other people were calling in it and the VFD and Sheriffs were running all over looking for it.

I have a good sized brush pile, I pushed it around some a couple weeks ago, guess it will sit there till spring.

I did manage to dig about 20 or so holes today to plant my wife some pompous grass, auger it a life saver since the ground is a dried up rock, plus the bucket sure came in handy for the water they needed.

What I have found in the short time I have had mine. It a workhorse The PTO I'd a PItA.

Now here is what happen today. Spent about a hour fighting the PTO shaft Woods RC 5 cutter. There are a few parts removed that made it a little easier. The shaft is the pull back push on type.
`
After getting it back on sheared another shear bolt within 10 minutes.

So I was just dragging it around for weight for the bucket. Got in a tight spot was spinning tire trying to back up , looked back and one of the lynch pins had come out on the cutter.
Walked back up to the truck got tools and a chain. Got the cutter off. Got the tractor turned around in the process spread the yoke on the pto shaft. On the tractor side

Hooked thjue chain up from the back of the cutter over the bucket to the front back over the bucket back to the tail wheel.
Started backing up slowly. Everything was going ok till I had to lift the bucket to clear some stuff. That when the cutter swung backwards and hit the drag link and bent it and broke the tire rod

Man when it rains it pours. I put 10 hours on my cutter and never broke a shear bolt. Then I broke 2 in 10 minutes!

 

[hturner12]

I going to get one of these next week
Slip Clutch Pack, Shearpin to Slip Clutch Adapter

 

[hturner12]

What I found out in trying to find my tierod end. Who ever did the parts manual does not understand that lt or right is as the operator sits in the seat. They list the one I need which is on the left side of the tractor as the rh side

Also partsforlstractors.com ( sundowner tractors) is not an LS dealer just a parts supplier, their warehouse is in New York

 

[ehinson]

I have broke several myself, till I went to a higher grade bolt.

I tool off the triangle reflector and mounted a surplus ammo can as a tool box for pins and tools, saved me a couple trips back to the shed already.

Any of you guys happen to be running loaded tires?

I was looking at the beet juice thing the other day.

My dealer load mine with water and alcohol

I used Rimgard (beet juice) in my rear tires. Tractor is considerably more stable now. I don't remember the actual costs but I could have had the supplier come to me (big dollars), I could have brought the tires to them to fill or I went and picked it up myself and filled them myself. I used a old sump pump with a short garden hose and had it done in a few hours. It was a pretty simple procedure I learned how to do this from a YouTube video so do a search on there if this is a project you want to try.
Cost was pretty close to windshield washer fluid but the Rimgard has quite a bit more weight so I went with the that. I've only had it a year so I can't comment on its longevity but my research says it it should last a long time with no corrosion.

Good luck.
