What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

[Walter L]

Well, it sure seems like you got a lemon.

It's disappointing LS didn't do more for you. They'll pay a price, based on the negative publicity you are generating. Hopefully they have improved snce then. Certainly sounds like it's time for you to move on from the brand, based on your experience.

I have to agree rbstern , its possible to get a lemon in any piece equipment . Thanks goodness my tractor has been fine so far 110 hrs but i do have a good dealer.

I often felt the same way about my kids. I told their mother that we shouldn't pay the hospital for their births just in case we ever wanted them repossessed. Believe me, they both acted "Possessed" at times. I'd trade it in before you and the dealer get ulcers, or worse.

I agree, he does have a lemon and LS should do more for him.

I have 520 hours on mine and it has been trouble free and I have used it as a bulldozer and worked it pretty hard logging and clearing land. Very happy with it.

Wow, sounds like a lemon. 200hrs on mine in less than year. Currently inop due to putting a rock into hydro filter losing all the fluid.
Not enamored with LS corporate either, discussed in other threads.

Sorry I hit a nerve but so did you when your monetized site gave me a choice between ada during video or 4 upfront. Had you posted a free video I wouldn’t have commented nor if you had posted the info that would make me want to watch for more info.

I’d hardly label us as “lovers” as we don’t hesitate to post problems as well as praise.

Best of luck getting favorable outcome.

Today mine still sits in the yard as I await new filter and pick up fluid today.

I get it with the videos. I will not post them here anymore. YouTube does put ads on them since the channel is monetized.

But I am trying to make a lot of videos because I told them I was going to make a video of every issue I get from now on since they don't want to help me on anything.

Honestly, I have had issues with other equipment. Nothing near this bad, but I get it that maybe I got a lemon. My real issue is that the dealers can't fix it and LS could care less. Then add on top of that the deprecation is so massive with this brand that I can't get much back.

I am trying to fix the AC on it now so I can wax it up and probably trade it in.

But, the video title I put is not a lie, this really is the WORST purchase I can think of that I have ever made.

Anyway, I am good. Sorry for the long post and rant. I am just still upset that LS and the dealer will not do anything to fix my still broken tractor.

All I can say... is hang in there. And hope for the best. It looks like money vs. aggravation right now.

Most of the members of this board are not opposed to videos when used to enhance or further demonstrate a point that is expressed in text. It's only when the post is nothing but the video with no explanation of what it is or why it's posted.

I personally have ALL videos blocked, so all I see is nothing. I wouldn't have known there was a title if the others hadn't mentioned it.

Yes, definitely a lemon. Does Texas have a lemon law? Seems like you have had the same problems repaired multiple times. That definitely qualifies to lemon law criteria. Sometimes a brief letter From a lawyer explaining the situation, lights a fire under both the dealer and LS.... at least it will get their attention.

You do know who the "Dealer" is?

Did my spring prep on my LS 84" rear finish mower. I pressure washed the underside, installed new Oregon blades, greased spindles, PTO shaft, and gauge wheels, checked gear box oil and belt tension. The old blades were still in good condition, so I set them aside to sharpen.




It really cuts well now.
