Is LS now better with emissions???

[dstriplett]

I have a XR4145 from about 2016 with just over 500 hours on it. Not very happy overall. When it works it works but when it doesn't there's and endless chase to find out exactly where the wiring harness or sensors are crapping out the ECU. I will never buy another tractor that has an ECU. Period. That's the main reason I went with the T574 from TYM for my second tractor. It has a Kukje (read cummings diesel) engine with NO ECU. As soon as I get my LS tractor running reliably again it's going on the market.

Every 30 hours isn't really so bad; hope it stays that way for you going forward. I think my Kioti is around 40 hours on average.

yeah - 25-30 hours between regens is fine with me. Does not really hurt anything as I can run it while it regens.

The error messages that keep popping up are concerning but hopefully that is resolved.

2021 MT240 regens every 12 hours like clock work, except that one time it went 14 hours.

280 hours and no other issues, after reading about all the LS regen problems I figure I can live with the it since I can use the tractor during the regen cycle.
By taking it in for service I my end up with real problems since many have stated thronging parts at the problem is not a permanent fix.

My 4140 regens about every 50 hours and I have just over 500 hours on it. I always run it at 1650-1800 RPM unless running the PTO or idling when switching attachments.

I came close to trading it this year as the warranty has expired but it runs well so there is little incentive.

I would buy a TYM if I decided to trade as the dealer is only 12 miles away and he seems to be a good one. My LS dealer had been very good so no complaints there.

My mt357 is in the shop getting the EGR conversion currently, under warranty, 465hrs , 2021 model. It only regened every 40 or 50 hrs. Egr failed and caused it to go in limp mode. I am questioning my dealer decision, but they seem to be trying. Besides that, I have been very happy with the tractor.

I just hauled my MT357 in this morning for a second time for a whole new regen system again. I told the Dealer that I am thinking of getting rid of it and getting a older tractor before all this crap started.

My 2022 MT573 regens at 50 hrs almost like clockwork. I only have about 140hrs on it. It runs fine, but it's hyd system has started leaking right at the pump and it looks to be a nightmare to get to it to fix. Of course it is right when I really need it too. Luckily, I only have to use it to move pallets of block a few hundred feet. So, I just keep an eye on the fluid level but now it is a mess all over.
