A simple question with multiple reasons behind it- how far would you be willing to go to purchase a tractor from a dealer and why?

Hey Guys, I'm looking at upgrading my 1-1/2 years old LS U5030 for an XU5055C, comparable horsepower, tier 3 vs tier 4 engine, open station vs cab. I need some feedback, especially from those who may have one (although all feedback is welcome). Pro's, Con's, things to look for, etc. Thanks...

Just curious. Who has the most hours on their LS, what model and purchase year? As for me, 126 hours on my U5030 purchased September 2013.

Saw this in different category ("Videos") and reposted here. Just thought it was another neat example of what can be done with ingenuity and hydraulics- https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=733774819986822%5B/URL%5D

Just came across a Reese 2070W drum mower. I think I can pick it up for $500-700. Gentleman let me take it home and check it out. Belts are in good shape, everything turns freely. I've sprayed down all the rusty bolts with Knock'er Loose and greased everything up. It will need a new set of...

I thought I would take a look on tractordata.com and see what they said about my U5030. To my surprise, there was no info at all. Anybody else checked on theirs? Any suggestions on getting listed?

Was bush hogging this afternoon and noticed that my steering wheel was moving- after I would finish a turn, the emblem wouldn't be where it was when I started. It seemed to be primarily when making sharper turns. I don't know if the wheel is slipping on the column or something worse. Anyone run...

Morning Everyone, I would like to build a ballast box for the 3pt on my U5030 but cannot find any info in the loader or tractor manual to give me an idea of the preferred weight. I am thinking in the 1500-1700# range. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I know there has and is much discussion regarding the merits of various quick hitches but I was curious as to the HP if the tractors you are using them on.

OES anyone know of other forums that may have discussion on our LS tractors. TBN is great but you can never have to much info/ideas.

Hello Everyone, Just wondering if anyone out there has come up with a way to raise/lower the lift arms from the rear of the tractor. I believe some models of Mahindra offer this and I can certainly see where this would be handy when hooking up implements if not using a quick hitch.

Hello All I am a new member but been lurking for a couple of months now. I like the threads- very informative.
