Where are the "older" LS Tractors?

Guesseral · Oct 4, 2016

My older LS is a 2009 Montana R4944 which an LS R4020. I purchased it new in 2010 and it has been a great tractor. Only had one problem, a transmission leak it seems that the factory messed up a gasket during manufacturing they had to split the tractor and replace the gasket totally covered under warranty though. Haven't had a problem since over 500 hours. Well I guess there is a tear in the seat but I can live with that!

R4041H, bought new Sept 2013. Now 360 hours. Minor maintenance issues; never back to dealer. Love tier 3 mitsu motor. Use with 6' rc, 6' bb, 7' scraper, phd, forks. A lot of loader work, minor mowing.

Well my 2015 G3033H (got it in May, 2015) has done a lot of work at my place up north. It is a summer and hunting place and moving up from a 1941 9N that I owned for 15 years to my LS was great. After almost two years I would say my hours are not near what some of you guys have. I use my machine to mow with my 5' brush hog, dig and level and tote with the bucket and grade the driveway with my 5' back blade. Also I run a 8" chipper. That chipper was a good buy and we make a lot of chips.

Anyhow, so far not one problem with the LS.

Love it! Miss the nostalgia of my 9N but don't miss the 2wd and live hydro (i think that was what it is called. Only works when PTO is spinning). Much prefer the independent hydro on the new machines.

For those that traded in, how did the values hold up? I'm looking to trade in my 2014 XR4040H (35 hours) to upgrade to a XU6168CPS, but not sure what I would get on the trade in.

2014 P7010C, 300 hrs. No issues, except an issue caused by a rat nesting under the hood in year 1.

3 years later, still not 1 drop of any fluid on the concrete where I park it.

Just under 900 hours on my 2012 LS7010 and still working good. LS mechanics did upgrade my front hubs the other day but the old ones were still working fine with no leaks.
