Did the welds on the X bars break? I'm told there is a redesign which beefs up the welds on the MT225s. I've been waiting for my replacement to arrive. LS dealer claims it needs to arrive from South Korea. Customer service, in my experience, has been poor at best. Good Luck!

Actually, I have welded it myself and it is holding up but LS is supposed to give me the redesigned one. Although I've welded the seat up pretty good I still need the piston that assists in raising the seat up...that broke as well.

I love the tractor but the Customer Service is incredibly bad.

I've been waiting for a long time for a replacement as well. A long, long, time.

No...take a look at the picture on the right...Moving the FEL to float pulls the valve spool upward which cracks the connection to the control lever assembly.

I drilled a couple mounting holes so I could move the seat closer to the hoe. Now it's what you would expect.

Would you mind posting a few more pictures of the top of your valve? I think you have a new design...the top of my spindle keeps snapping off.

On the MT225s, pushing the bucket control down so the bucket goes to the ground. Then a push pressure down to engage the float function. A down pressure on the bucket control is an up pull on the valve. This up pressure snaps the top of the spool off.

Do you use your loader float function often...It seems like a terrible design...why would the top snap off so easily?

LS 225s Tractor is great but the 3 problems I have are: 1.) Float function on FEL breaks the top of the valve off...this has happened 3 times. 2.) SEAT has broken 3 times...welds are terribly minimal. 3.) Rear lights flash randomly. LS has not been helpful in finding a lasting solution for #1...

I have had a similar problem...I'm on seat #3. This time I re-welded the underside more thoroughly...it has been holding since. Unfortunately, I have to yank the seat up manually when using the backhoe...I'm waiting on a new design from LS but they are not much help on a more permanent solution.

I have an issue with the top of the valve piston breaking off when using the float function. This has happened 3 separate times on new valves. LS won't seem to address the design flaw.

I bought the 5' box blade and it handles it fine.

I have the same issue...both tail lights flash randomly...dealer said it must be a bad ground...not sure if that helps me at all.
