Interested in hearing who out there has a high hours LS tractor and how it's holding up. I'm interested in particular in G series tractors (G3033/3038) since I have a g3038 but all would be interesting to hear about.

I am ready to do the first hydro/transmission fluid change on my 1736. I found the location of the vertical canister filter and have a replacement fliter and 9 gallons of the permatran 821xl ready to go. I have not been able to find the location of the screen that needs to be cleaned, and the...

Finally got a pic of the tractor after I finished dragging the wife's arena.

On my gear tractor I can turn my PTO shaft by hand (with engine off ) to line up spline with implement shaft. Can't do that on my g3038h, even with tractor in neutral. Is this typical on hydro tractors?

I was thinking about an LS 3135 cab, but now I'm looking at getting either a 1736 cab or a 1742 cab in the next few days since the price difference is only a few grand more (at least for the 1736) and the Massey is arguably a better, or at least better known, brand. Two questions. 1. Other...

I'm debating between an LS 3135 and a Massey 1736, both cab varieties. The Massey is only about 2K more than the LS, has a little less spec'd loader capacity (1900 vs 2100) but higher lift, significantly more 3 point capacity (2800 vs 1800) and a Mitsubishi engine, with 2 more hp, vs an LS...

I have not looked at the LS website for a while, but I did today and I noticed that there is a new XG series and a new 3100 series. The XG Series appears to basically be the G Series with a new hood and tier 4 compliant engine. That makes sense. The 3037 already had a tier 4 compliant engine...

I need some inexpensive but sturdy SSQA forks for my new G3038h. I have been looking at the Titan Attachment brand on Amazon and those are the cheapest SSQA that I can find. Does anybody have experience with those or want to recommend another option.

I was about to pull the trigger on a 1736. However, I have some concern about something I read somewhere about the regen process. By way of background, my wife will use the tractor daily - basically as a glorified wheelbarrow - to clean stalls and dump manure from the loader into a dumpster...

My wife and I have a small property in West Michigan where we keep a few horses. We also have 100 ac or so in northern Michigan. The land up north is basically just a hunting cabin/land, but it has traditionally been logged every 15 years or so to remove the aspen. This provides a little...
