Any guess what could the problem with this new xr4155

You can read what the guy has done so far with input for the dealer tech and he has been through 2 complete regen cycles. The same person also had steering issues right off - had to replace the steering cylinders with ones from a larger tractor because he couldn't steer with a load on the bucket. It is hard for me to believe that this issue along with his steering problem are isolated incidents. Unless LS just built one bad tractor with two major issues on the same day as they built who knows how many more. I know they all make lemons for one reason or another, but usually there are consistent issues because of some design flaw.

Did you look at some of the rest of his videos?

Yeah it looked like he was able to use it for a while. Why did you see something that stood out?

On the steering I think it's a bad or not adjusted priority divider valve. The engine you need to check the fuel shut off valve, crack one of injector line and see if there is fuel there, next the fuel filter. If after a few mins. it starts check the vent on the fuel tank. One other thing is to check the air filter. It sounded like it just was slowly not getting fuel and that would be filter, something in tank, or tank vent.

Crazy thing is the dealer said the other tractors on the lot did the same thing. Either dealer lying to make little of the problem or LS really screwed up. That's why I was saying I doubt it is an isolated problem.

Unless you have found others, this was the only reported incident of this on this forum or anywhere else that i have found. In fact there were numerous replies to the original post that no one had heard of this before. People don't tend to be quite when there is an issue. I think we would have heard of others considering there are other owners on here.
