I was considering an LS tractor package until.......

One (or more) of you should invite him here.

For what? So you can start a fight? Again you’re asking us to do something that you can do yourself.

LS dealers are pretty thin on the ground, he may not be spoiled for choice. And why would a dealer for another brand even touch this lemon? He's facing a real catch 22, continue going with the current dealer or cut his losses, which total whatever he's paid into the tractor and over 1K in transport costs. His best hope right now is being as loud as possible and hoping someone at LS corporate takes notice.

Kind of reminds me of Chucke2009 and his Mahindra mess. Or his problem with his M7060 puking hydraulic oil. Someone at Kubota noticed that one, if memory serves, and cracked the whip on the dealer to get it fixed.

And this is why the guy should have cut his losses.

For what?

So people with the same models can help him. That's what this board is for after all.

The first question my dealers have asked me is, "What do you need the tractor to do?" Maybe this guy has a dumb dealer, or maybe he did not listen to the dealer? And if bought an underpowered tractor, why is he not using it at normal engine speed?

So how does this character go from an XJ to an XG and now an XR? How do you afford an XR on an XJ budget?

Too many "issues" that I see with this character that give me pause. He needs help but posting on YouTube is being done for other reasons, IMHO.

If I wind up buying an LS, I know I am not getting a Kubota. That is just common sense. But the LS should operate well and be reliable IF operated correctly.

Anyone that has watched his videos knows there isn’t much we can do for him. If he makes as many videos as he does he probably is well aware of what’s available as far as tractor forums.

He had made several mistakes, first one being not liking the design of the first one and buying to small a tractor, nice enough guy but he doesn’t know what he is doing.

FWIW, I have a youtube account, and it makes it possible for me to comment below the videos. I did make the owner aware of this site, including the links to LS operating.

This still seems to be the case. LS has been the darling on this forum for most of the last 8-9 years. As of late, I don't hear a lot. We have had a strong economic period and they don't seem to have taken advantage.

I think some people get offended if they own the brand of tractor getting trashed. We all know every OEM has produced lemons. I am not concerned with him pointing out the things he sees wrong with the other tractors, but his XR3135 is a lemon and needs to be addressed properly. I see his frustrations with it and the dealer, we all would feel the same way. He feels like he had to make a video of it, good for him if he thinks that will get him some attention he needs. This is not about a specific brand tractor being junk, it is just about the tractor he has, it may have just slipped past Quality Control that day, or the dealer screwed it up somehow. It wasn't this guy screwing it up, so it is not his fault.

My mind take me to questioning why this guy has had three tractors and all three of them were lemons.......
Something just does not add up in my mind

Agree. It also appears he didnt read the manual, as he doesn’t know what any of the error codes are, or that the S with the book symbol = service manual. He does have a lemon, but he isnt helping matters any by not educating himself thoroughly.
