LS Backhoe

[westernstar]

I had a 3 point backhoe on my John Deere, and put it on the back of my LS XR3135HC, but it was a real pain to put it on and take it off. Don't know why as I could get it on and off the John Deere in about 5 minutes. Something about the LS just made it harder. Plus no matter how far ahead I slid the seat, it was always leaned up against the rear window, so always a danger of breaking the glass. I had told the dealer I was going to put the hoe on the new LS and he said, "don't tell me that, I don't want to hear it", and also said if anything on the back of the tractor broke because the hoe was on there, they would not warrantee it. I sold the 3 point with the John Deere and bought an LS backhoe to put on it. I love it, works great. I paid $6,500 installed, and that included them driving 20 miles to get my tractor and bringing it back the next day.

I have a used LS located for sale that is in great shape. It is a LB 2102 that has a sub frame.

Check and make sure that the sub frame is to mount it on a cab tractor. There IS a difference. The sub frame for a cab tractor is longer than for a tractor without a cab. And you have to have the two brackets that mount on the tractor also.

My dealer told me that a 3pt backhoe voids the warranty. Ansung is who I believe make the Backhoe and the Loader for LS. I致e seen older LS video from Korea with Ansung branded on the self leveling loader on the XU series I have on order. And the backhoe looks and spec痴 are about the same on the backhoe.

In my research, I also thought the loaders and backhoes were made by Ansung but my dealer said he has been invited by LS to the factory in Korea several times and he assured me that LS makes their own...

After I said the cab tractor uses a longer frame, I looked at my backhoe book, and it only shows one frame, even though the dealer told me that the cab tractor uses a longer one. Only lists the same frame for a gear tractor and the same one for a hydrostatic tractor, but NOT a separate one for a cab tractor. Hmmmm, strange. I guess you can't trust everything you are told. Worth checking on before you plunk down a bunch of cash.

That is good to know, but if they make their own they are doing so with some kind of aggreement with Ansung. All you have to do is compare pictures, someone on here has already done that and if you do a little research you will find it as I did. Go to YouTube and Sign up to subscribe to the Korean LS site and you will see a video with a tractor in it that has the loader and trust me its the same loader with ANSUNG branded on the Loader. Compare the Backhoe to Kioti's backhoe and then go google Ansung and look at the Hoe, tell me again its not an Ansung. Nothing wrong with Ansung.

Just got a price quote today for a backhoe for a XR 3135HC $8200 w/16” bucket. Kinda wished I lived in the lower 48!

Yes, that's what shipping does up here. Very irritating. Been wondering what tractor dealers in Canada get for attachments and such? There are people that will haul things up from the Lower 48 for you, just don't know how to go about finding them.

uShip is one of those auction shipping company where people bid lower prices to get your load, There are a few more I just don't have them off the top of my head.
I'm looking forward to a cruise at the end of May to Alaska with my family. Besides refueling in Achorage to go to Korea, I've never been there.
