Well 270 hours on my tractor in a little over a year, I’ve gotten to know it pretty well. It sure has been handy. Only a few small complaints but satisfied. Here’s some recent work I did with it. A major regrade and parking pad in front of a barn. Re worked the drive and house parking. Made a parking pad at our little vegetable farm for our new market stand.

How is the comfort in the cab during a long day?

Really good honestly. It spent 23 hours in it doing the drive and pad. It was high 80s and humid. The ac does well. I never have it full blast. Air ride seat is great. Wish my zero turn had it. Plenty of room for my self and supplies. I took a picture of the speakers to replace eventually. Disabled reverse beeper so no more loud screech behind me. Nice to get out and not have my ears humming and body vibrating like the old iron.

The higher end LS tractors really seem to have nice, ergonomic cabs, or that's the impression I got when I was browsing them. It's nice to know that's the case.

For sure. The jump from the 4 series to the 5 was large. The cab size was way larger and more spaced out on the controls. I’m only 5-10’ and the 468 cab felt tiny to me.

I thought originally wow I probably won’t use half the features. Wrong I use all of them. I originally went with this tractor because of waits for a rx Kioti. Plus the ls had 3 rear remotes. Diverter already installed but no lines for 3rd function. I use the auto lift all the time. Auto pto works well. I have used the creeper a few times. Moved a large building on skids with it.
