New LS MT573cps

[Mud2Money]

Hi first post here. Checked out the ls MT573cps. They say it’s a 20x20 transmission. Wouldn’t it be considered a 24x24 like the rx7320 ? It has high /low L,M,H and 1-4.
Ended up buying one and so far really enjoying it. Extremely quiet. The transmission feels very smooth and positive engagement.

Nice tractor - GL with it.

Maybe you got a creeper gear they dont include in the specs??

I have the little brother to yours with 16x16 and a creeper option. They dont include the creeper gear in the specs.

Now wondering when I would need the creeper gear??

I figured. The manual didn’t illustrate a matching combo. The speed range chart for a rx7320pcc makes more sense. They show low range with mid range selection then final gear select.
I use creeper for maneuvering tight areas next to buildings and with forks for odd items.
Soon I will be trying it out for towing. I have a large shed 12x20x16. I will be raising it up onto beams and skidding it back to make a new base. I used my creeper on my old case 630 to skid tower stands across fields carefully.

I've had my MT573 CPS for almost five years and have had no mechanical problems with it. Last year, for some unknown reason, the driver's side door shattered into a thousand pieces upon closing. It was not unduly "slammed" or otherwise mistreated. Anyway, I really like the four-wheel drive and the FEL. I had to reinforce a section of the FEL after possibly exceeding its capacity - see photo. It easily operates my eight ft. Hardee rotary mower with a grapple on the FEL. M2M, congratulations on your new LS MT573.

Not a bad idea for a brace ! I kept a close eye on the bolts and frame gaps as I moved 50-55 yards of 30 year old clay ditch tailings.

I did figure the transmission out. I found a section in the manual. Creeper can not be used in high range. Low and medium are fine.

I certainly like it a lot. I was on the fence about a cab and the smaller mt468. Glad I went with the 573 as it’s a much heavier and more robust unit. I had them load the rears with juice. Waiting on a large single shank subsoiler to give it a workout. Majority of its life will be used with a 7ft tiller.
