Did you get one from them?

Remote support would be key. Aside from major issues, I'm ok doing the work myself, but I don't want to hassle around pricing and shipping parts. If I'm going to buy remote, I need a dealer to help troubleshoot and not dally and haggle with getting the parts. TX is probably closer to me than...

Which TX one?

Looking for 3515, 4215, 4815 hydrostat.

The feedback I was looking for. Thanks. Moving on to next dealer on the list.

One dealer I spoke with kinda dismissed the xx15s as "Branson" and not TYM. Even suggested they might not be available. By specs those have larger lift capacities. Not the yanmar engine I guess

Does anyone have a 4215? Any reason not to pick it over another TYM or other brand for a 35-40hp ?

Got it. I will have regen because I'm looking at 35-40HP. I think 2 posts above is the info I'm looking for. "The 4215 has regen. TYM diesels however are mechanical injection, so there is no ECM to hobble the engine if there is a DPF issue."

Do any current make or models not have the regen technology? Tym maybe? Im looking hard at a 4215H a 4 cy NA (non turbo).

Yeah. It will be tempting.

Thanks for all the feedback. Please share more. The 4215 has impressive specs and the 4 cyl engine. Simple is good. I'm expecting 4000h / 20 years Hoping around $21K. We'll see.

Been looking into LS420HE. I have a JD4100H (TractorData.com John Deere 4100 tractor information) that specs at 16HP I think. Other than issues I new going into it (bought used from rental place), and my own self inflicted issues, it's been solid. I run 5' finish mower, 4' rotary cutter, 5'...

Thank you. I am looking for a handful of folks touting similar but with 1000, 2000 hours. 300 is still break in for a diesel I'd think.

Shoot, I was in Rosebud MO about 2 weeks ago. Could have test-drove. Lol. I'd think by being in the LS group here I'd get a pretty good sampling of users who have LSes over 5+ years.

Anyone know of a LS MT240H used? If new is 22K, can used be had for 17K?

That's the reliability and longevity I'm expecting with regular maintenance (fluid changes, lube, filters). Especially if I buy new I expect zero issues for 10 years. Am I being realistic? (I hope so, but asking).

5 ft round bale. I don't think its 1000#.

Brings up a point. Are normal wearables like bearings a common part? Timken? National? SKF? etc or some proprietary part available only via dealer or manufacturer?

I'm averaging about 150h per year. I change oil every fall. What's proper warm-up / cool-down? Idle for a minute? I'll definitely do that.

Where does the HP come from? I was looking at the specs. Most MT2 and MT3 use the same 114.7 cu in engine. Somehow they are going from 30 to 57 HP on the same displacement.

That's what I see in the specs also. 230 is NA (assuming naturally aspirated) 235 shows NA also (what gives the 5hp more?) 240 shows TC (assuming turbo) Is a TC worth the cost / another thing to fail? I'd tend to go with the simpler 235 NA and have one less major component that will fail...

Heavy bale. Good Q. 5' round is what I'm thinking but not a lot of moving. Lifting onto/off of a trailer and maybe 100 yards of travel. I'm going with HST, so MT240HE or 235HE $22.5K for the 40; $21K for the 35 is one quote I got. That's about my limit. A 3 series might be good for some...

Thanks for all the info. Does the MT240 get the extra HP above the 235 by adding a turbo? I'm just looking at simplicity. My theory is simple is better. Adding a turbo, another thing to fail, might not be worth 5 hp. It looks like the 230, 235, and 240 have the same engine displacement, so...

That's the deal for me. I'm not expecting any issues for 20 years / 5000 hours. Sure, wear parts, I understand, but I'd expect no major mechanical or electrical failures due to bad design or low-quality parts. The 6 year warranty is an insult. I'd expect 5000 hours on engine, transmission...

Which is easier to work on instead of paying the dealer 150/h?

How does the MT240HE get 5 hp over the MT235HE with the same engine displacement? Or even the MT230HE which also has the same 114.7 cu in? I think the Deere 3038 gets its extra hp over the 3032 via a turbo.

Called the LS dealer. MT240HE is where he suggested. Maybe MT235, but felt the extra 5 hp is money well spent.

That's definitely on the high end of what I'm thinking. $25K max spend is also what I'm thinking. While being able to handle heavy bales would be great I'm not sure that's the mainstream of what I'll be doing. I also need to finish mow 2-3ac and some of that is on a slope. I also like the...

Got a dealer 2h away so going to research. Any suggestions on model?

I am looking for a 30 to 40 hp with fel to replace my Deere 4100 hst. Want the 2 pedals. Need the same reliability. Hobby farm brush cutting, 5 ft tiller for garden and horse arena, box blade & angle blade for road maintenance, 5 ft finish mower for 2 ac lawn. 4100 does everything ok except...

Did some searching. What about LS 35 to 40 hp models?

Hi. Can you give an update on your LS? What's the equivalent now?

While test driving this appeared ICC 003695.03 (ICC 3695.03)- Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Inhibit Switch Voltage above normal, or shorted to high source Regen inhibit switch stuck on or short to power It was intermittent. Nothing at startup. Engine was cold. Then after 15 minutes...

Excellent. Thank you. I'd like the R lift capacity but not enough to pay for it I think.

Anything to look at in particular about this tractor and FEL with 300 hours? I have a hst 4100 with FEL. I'd like more HP to run the tiller, etc. What price should I expect? Any major issues to look out for?

Walmart Everstart lasted 4y. $80 with prorate to get another.

Service manual says up to 14.7v. I put the old RR back in and that's what it read at full throttle, and around 9v at idle. Not sure maybe the issue before is it did not charge

My fuel pump was bad, but the filter could use a clean I'm sure. How do I do that? While I had the pump off I did blow compressed air back from the inlet line.

Replaced fuel pump. Maybe problem solved. I used a cheap $13 one from Amazon but it looks ok. We'll see. Another issue - the rectifier is outputting -2v DC (yes minus). AC across its two terminals is 38v AC. I replaced the original Kohler awhile back. What DC should I see? I felt like issue...

Yes. Plan to use those and rivet the 10' sections together. Too cheap to go seamless on the pole barn made of reclaimed everything!

I think everything is twisted. I squared up the fork, the hub, but still out 5 degrees or so. The A frame on the tail wheel looks about right, but the receiver for the fork shaft is tilted. Almost looks like it was welded that way, but no signs of rewelding. It's workable but bugs me

I couldn't justify buying a new toy ;)

Leaning towards a quality hand one. 3/16 seems to be max, but that surely is plenty

With the pto shaft free, and spinning the blades from under, I don't hear the click.The only thing though is there is only a click when force is applied to the shaft by hand. If I just let it coast there is no click. I didn't take the pto off, just removed the shear bolt, and let it spin. The...

Yeah, it's a shear pin/bolt

And now after searching, I might consider air powered. Some suggest harbor freight is even ok

Looking for all-around non powered rivet gun. I'm going to install gutters on my barn. Then who knows what all uses I may have. Automotive, around the house, etc.

So I spent some time on the clicking sound today. It seems to be coming from the gearbox. Turning the pto shaft by hand there is a click when applying rotation to the pto. It's the same in either direction. It does not click when no rotation pressure is applied and the pto is just freely...

So far so good. Mowed about 2h. Before, I changed oil, removed dish and tightened one blade bolt that was loose, replaced PTO zerks and greased, afixed pto shield, bought 4" pto extension (I have pat's easy hitches), pounded some metal back into shape. Only annoyance left is the wheel...
