Unfortunately I am not that technically advanced to be able to do that work. No shop will touch it other than LS. LS cannot get parts and they have had it over a month and haven’t even diagnosed the problem. I called around to other state LS dealers. They are all months behind, how they can justify selling those things is beyond ridiculous. I was an idiot and bough one. Once fixed it will be traded in on a MF American Made !!!

MF isn’t American made.

I was at my dealer yesterday picking up some oil and he said so far, parts are not hard to get. Finding shipping that doesn't want exorbitant prices is.

My LS dealer is fantastic as is my XR4140. Sorry to hear you are having issues. Good luck.

MF isn’t American made.

They are an AGCO brand, which is American owned, but the tractors themselves, like everything else we buy is made in foreign lands.
Mines made in one of the French factories.

It doesn’t really matter where it’s made, what’s important is who‘s standing behind it. I’ve said this before but when you buy a big ticket item like a tractor you’re buying the brand not the machine. Or you should be anyway. Lots of people try to save a buck because they think they can get a similar tractor for a few thousand less than the name brand but you always pay in the end, either with time, money or aggravation. Took me way too many decades to finally learn that lesson. That’s everything in life too, not just tractors.

With that kind of thinking Kubota should never have been successful. Piece of junk from overseas instead of good old American Iron...LOL.

In this case, it appears the issue is with the dealer not the make. I had two dealers I could have bought my LS from, and I paid a bit more to get the better dealer.

If I was planning on putting 400-500 hours a year on a tractor I might have bought the Kubota. For 100 hours a year, and at 70YO, saving over $8000 made more sense than a tractor that might last 5,000 hours more and dealing with the arrogant Kubota dealer I would have had to purchase it from.

BTW not long ago Kubota had a serious recall on some bolt that was not installed properly, and IIRC they needed to break the tractor apart to address it.

Sure did and my local dealer did no less than 8 units. Talk about 'make work' there it is. Something with the HST unit, a bolt wasn't torqued properly and came loose. Sure Kubota lost a bundle on that gig and I bet the assembly person is no longer employed either.

Thanks for the suggestion, Sutton tractor is the local Massey dealer. I called around to LS dealers from Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. All of them are back up for months. Let’s go Brandon is all the will say? Heck, my name is Bob Lol

Call Diamond R Equipment in Freeburg Missouri. Ask for Jim the owner. He is good with LS and has been selling them for years. Good mechanic. I bet he can point you in the right direction. 1-573-455-2617.

My LS4150 has been great and my dealer has been good. Growing and moving into a bigger place and adding more service bays. I thought that LS also produced some tractor for MF at one time.

LS produces the compact tractors for New Holland.
