XU6168 30hrs update

[OverandOut]

Well have had the tractor 3wks now and have put 30 hrs on it. Tractor had its first regen at 27.2 hrs, lasted about 20 min as I was finishing up mowing with the boom mower. Had tractor on cruise at 2400rpm when it went in to regen never skipped a beat. The A/C is cold, the radio is not Bluetooth but does have aux port and sd card slot. I'll update that and speakers later. Only issue I have had was a reverse sensor went out my first week, dealer came picked tractor up took it back to his service department and after diagnosing the problem as a bad sensor he drove to LS assembly plant in Battleboro (2hrs away) and picked up a sensor and had my tractor back the next day. That folks is the type of service you look for in a dealer. I got to use the Hardee 1172 rotary mower yesterday for the first time to bush hog the back to acres of my yard. I can say a finish mower will be the next purchase. For pasture or wooded trails the Hardee is fine but does not cut low enough for the yard. Mainly used the Hardee on the back 2 acres to cut up the sticks and limbs that are mixed in with the weeds and grass. Back 2 acres flooded during hurricane Mathew and between the fallen trees and debris that floated in from the woods its been a bear to clean up, whats left is ok for a bush hog but would tear a zero turn up.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase of the LS and this proves you can get a good quaility tractor without having to pay more for the green and orange paint of the other brands.
