Had to plow the driveway a couple nights ago and it fired right up at 0* so maybe I'll get more time out of it. I wish my auto batteries would last this long...

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. I do believe the tractor has been sitting for about a month so I imagine that plays a part. I agree, I'm kind of surprised it's still working frankly.

2015 LS G3038 that has a manufacture date of 2014. OEM battery was a little slower than usual to start yesterday with night time lows in the teens to single digits the past few weeks. How long have folks been getting out of the factory battery these days? I don't keep this on a tender but I...

2014 LS G3038 The tractor is currently at the dealer getting 4 new axle seals. The first slow leak started a couple years ago and it only got worse. A few weeks ago, I went to use the tractor and found small puddles on the inside floor area of both front tires. I always check the fluid level...

Doing an oil change today, I noticed build up on the inside of the RH front wheel. I removed the wheel and its was caked all over. Checked the fluid level and it was about a quart low. How difficult of a repair job is replacing the seal? I couldn't find the axle breather to see if it was...

A few things here; -Dealer I bought the G3038 from a few years back now, sold me a 2015 model on paper but I realized just recently that mine is a 2014 model. I'm not angry about it and who knows, maybe it's better since that was the time they were transitioning to the tier 4 stuff so I have...

I am researching ideas about small business ownership from the home front or whether or not it's even possible. I have some property and a 60'x100' barn that needs work. I was thinking of hiring a contractor to replace the plywood and re skin the building to make it weather tight and then...

Thinking about straight piping the 3038. Pros / cons? I like the sound but have never heard a modern LS compact with a straight pipe. I also would like to minimize the factory restrictive exhaust. Mine is a 2014 so it looks like I can just remove the muffler all together. I was thinking of using...

Last summer I accidentally hit the side of my Quonset hut garage with the tractor bucket. Damaged the corner pretty good. Unfortunately, I'm reminded of every time I pull in the driveway... Three years ago I was welding in the garage and a spark made it into a container full of used gear oil...

Anybody else have one of these. So far I am very impressed!

My G3038 has a grab handle on the left side bot nothing on the right side. I find I keep hitting the tire since I grab the rear fender when I using it. Anyone know where I can find one? No luck online or when I called my dealer.

2.9% here. Curios what other pay around the country.

Just picked up a used one for $100. Maybe 5 years old. Has a really nice 25' SO cord already installed and a heavy duty custom made steel cart. I burned a few 6013 rods and tried a couple 6011's. I figured for $100 I cant go wrong. I have always wanted a stick welder for the farm repairs.

Out of control in my pasture. Any tips on getting rid of it? The field was neglected for the past 40 years. Last year I tried frequent mowings helped but I'm not sure if there is anything else I can do.

How many folks here collect rain water? I'm almost finished installing my third 330 gallon tote and my set up should be done. Just curious what methods and set up's others are using? My plan is for watering plants and trees exclusively.
