- Several LS tractors...current Fave is an MT225s
The XR4000's use the same front axle as several earlier models, like the R4041, 4047, and their predecessors the R4010 and 4020.... so it's been in service at least since LS launched 5-ish years ago, and maybe prior to that in some Montanas, but I really don't know about that last part. We've had a couple people run their tie-rods into things hard enough to bend them and break an end off the tie rod, but we've never seen a broken flange like what's described here. My best estimate off the top of my head on a Sunday afternoon is that to-date we've put around 85-90 units in the field that use this front axle.
...just another data point....
