XG3025 Recall

   / XG3025 Recall #161  
Your best tool should be your thought process.
Attack your task w/ thinking first.

My wife is the boss here, but I help her w/ the problem solving.
Always trying to figure out where she put the chain saw.

Kidding aside, our tractors are not built for any single task but get pressed into all kinds of service.

Only the operators make mistakes.

Much thanks for sharing your events. I learn for everyone's post.....it's cheaper & hurts less.

Okay Now, Just off the phone w/ an LS representative.
This concerns the adding of the turn buckle or linking the upper back connection to the XG3025 LS tractor to the LS 1100 back hoe.

DO NOT link your back hoe (LS 1100) to your XG3025 tractor by this means. Here is a pix of our connection point from our XG3025H.

Sorry to be so graphic about this but our turn buckle link snapped in two.

The LS rep told us our back hoe is to have flex in the connection.
Adding this link could result in the cracking of the top of the transmission. This has happened in the earlier days.



My well intended LS dealer (not the selling dealer, now out of business) who did the recall attached this upper link.
Nothing happened bad, only the turn buckle snapped & not the transmission top.

We know we posted here pix of the addition of this linkage. Others have also expressed this desire to stiffen up the connection between tractor & backhoe. It did in fact stiffen the operation up, but those little blue connections on the backhoe are for transporting this back hoe only. They are not for operation of this back hoe.

We will be going back to my earlier post here in this thread, to edit those pix.

My dealer has offered to replace my turn buckle. We hope you folks will keep this info in mind & look out for it when conversing w/ other XG3025 owners.

Big Blue it looks like you were lucky that the turn buckle broke before something more serious happened. Thanks again for the information.

You bet we are.
Worked 3 hours w/ the back hoe today.
There sure is a difference w/ the rear seat moving around but in reality, its the entire back hoe unit.

Pine stumps sure are stubborn .

Thank you LS

That's good news Big Blue Florida, my 3025 has been working great, it has completed every task I've put it to in our 45 acre woodlot.

Good outcome. LS seems committed to helping customers and building it's reputation. That's a very good thing.

Found some new leftover 2018 XG3025 shuttle shift with FEL. Did this issue apply to 2018's? Any way for me to tell if it had the recall done?

Adamjt, my XG 3025 is a 2018 model and it required the recall modification. My dealer told me it was only a matter of installing some shims where the engine is attached to the frame if my memory is correct. I can not see where the shims were installed so I guess you would have to have a dealer look at it. Wish I could be more helpful but that's all I know. I'm approaching 200 hours on mine and no problems.
