Joining LS Club

Good news!
Dealer called this afternoon, and they have the tractor, and it came with the loader! Initially LS told him they wouldn't have a loader for it until the end of July.
He said the only thing was they didn't install the 3rd function kit at LS. So, he will install it Monday and they still have to fill the tires.

Congrats.... I'm learning my way around the XG3135H I just bought. Big adjustment from a BX2200, but it's beast and I'm getting the hang of the backhoe. Now to find time to get the tractor projects.

I'm about to make a similar upgrade in frame size and capability, I'm looking forward to it!

Absolutely!
Probably going to order a Titan hydraulic rear blade. Got email this evening on price drop.
Tried contacting a couple local dealers for Woods and Land Pride and nobody ever bothered to call me back.
So, Titan is made in TN and they direct ship for no extra charge.

Seems to be normal, when I was shopping the ONLY dealer that responded got the sale. I live way out in the stick, 100 miles to see the tractor I bought. Nobody close enough to just drive by and look. I run a business here and don't have weeks to drive around just for a dealer to not have what I want and/or can afford on the lot to inspect.

I did buy a bale spear from Titan, nice piece had minor problem but customer service made more than right in 24 hours. I'm happy.

Dealer called this afternoon to say tractor is ready. Going to sign papers and pay tomorrow and he said he should be able to have it delivered to me Friday.
Titan said my rear blade shipped out yesterday, so good chance that might come in Fri too.

Congrats again! It's getting CLOSER! ....... awaiting pictures!

Good deal! Can't wait to see some photos.

 

[TimberFarm]

Paid for it and here it is before they gave it a final wash.

OOOH Shiney... Congrats.

LS really makes a handsome tractor.

 

[TimberFarm]

This thing is a monster. First I have seen this in person. I bought from brochure/website photos. It really does seem to have nice fit and finish to it.
I was bush hogging with my old Jinma a few days ago. It has really been dry here and I kicked up so much dust, I was tinted red when I was done. All I could think of was how nice it would be to work in a cab.
Tomorrow or Sat I will be able to really go over it inside and out.

Despite it being listed under your profile it never even clicked you were going from a Jinma to this LS, it must be like stepping into another world.

I actually might keep the old Jinma (2005). It's a good beater tractor. The JD I have is a 3203 (2007) that i bought off my friend when he was going through his divorce. He bought it new along with a rear finish mower and bush hog.
The JD I think I will sell. I have to say it has been very reliable. Every year I do all the fluids and filters on it to the tune $600 in parts, oil and hyd fluid.

Nice Tractor there. You'll have to tell us how you like those R14 tires after you get some hours on it.

 

[TimberFarm]

It's here safe and sound. It drove it all of 5 mins to move it to the back yard. Couple photos of LS and JD side by side and back view. Rear tires on LS are as tall as my wife.
Asked the dealer what the tires were filled with and he told me regular antifreeze. He said one tire takes about 100 gallons. I couldn't believe it. But when right next to them, they are big.
My JD has antifreeze in the tires too.

That is a physically imposing machine for something in that friendly LS blue.

Nice ride! Enjoy

Nice looking tractor! Those rears are big! And probably close to 1000lbs!
