Didn’t know it was a ‘96’ but, yes. I have a ‘96’ also.

Thanks for the info. I went up to Ridgeland last Monday, met Bruce, drove the 4155. Nice tractor. Looks like I may own blue soon!

Good deal, you'll have to let us know if you end up pulling the trigger!

Nate,

Which tires did you go with , the R1's or the R4's, and are they working out for you?

I went with the R4's and fluid filled the rears. Overall I feel that was the best choice for my tractor usage and I would make the same decision today

- I use my tractor for running a finish mower quite often and have done lot of landscape type work around the yard so I didn't want to tear things up like a figured I would do with the R1's.

- I was pleasantly surprised how well they worked moving snow around this winter. Obviously I could get the tires to spin if I tried to push large piles or on the icy spots of my gravel driveway late season (freeze/thaw) but I didn't feel that I absolutely needed chains to get the job done.

- I've done a lot of loader work moving around dirt as well. You can get a pretty good stab into a pile in mid-range (HST trasmission) but if I was trying to get a full scoop into some hard stuff I'd go into low range now and then. Once again, if I tried in low range I could get the tires to spin but that wasn't the norm.

- I've had zero issues pulling around an old 10-12 ft. disc


All that said, if I was going to use my tractor for a majority of more "farm" related work (like pulling ground breaking implements, etc.) I probably would have went with the R1's for best traction.

Something I find interesting is how different these tractors look in pictures depending on what angle the picture is taken from. On a front corner shot like my profile pic the tractor looks quite large! On a side pic or one from a rear corner the same tractor looks like a much smaller!

I agree. My wife was really surprised when it showed up too. From our conversations, she thought it was going to be substantially larger than the JD 1520 it is replacing. When they are side by side it becomes really evident that the LS isn't really a "big" tractor!
