I am on my third LS . I usually put about 1500 hours on a tractor before I sell it. I really haven't had any issues with the brand . I just change the oil and normal maintenance. I do check all nuts and bolts regularly on my pretrips and post trip inspections. I find most people with problems on their new tractors don't preform pretrip inspections. Always make sure the Regen runs every time, never bypass it or ignore it. Always run the tractor at high rpms , it is not designed to run at low rpms because of the Regen. Never ever get the computer wet, always keep it dry.

I just looked at a 3135H today and was very impressed. High quality and a very nice price. I think I found my tractor.

Good review, I just purchased one identical, including the rear ports. Have not received it yet, but your review gives me confidence I made the right choice. One thing however, I did not like on the LS is where they have the exhaust coming out, you have to make sure you do not park it in or near anything high and flammable. Other than that...I was impressed with the LS brand.

Currently in the market and really appreciate your review. Well done

Thank you for your review I've been wanting a tractor to help Maintenance my half a mile private drive way an to just relandscape my entire yard .im like you I'm trying to get my credit report looking better so I can better afford one an I just decided about two months ago on the brand an horse power to take care of my long list of job's for the tractor .

Thank you! We are buying property and have been looking at the sub compact “do alls” and found the LS brand by digging into KZread.

Been hearing a lot of good things about the LS including the 71hp

Really pretty tractor I'm considering getting one it looks good and blue as well

Beautiful tractor!

You are absolutely right

Excellent review. Thanks

Great video, im thinking of getting the same model. Question: can you raise the bucket and pour gravel at the same time? Or do u have to stop raising it to dump the load?

Think you made a good purchase.

Since you made this video how has your ownership experience been to the present? Thanks!

The LS XG3140 is basically a New Holland Boomer 40 with most of the parts being identical and the only difference in part numbers is the addition of MT(xxxxxx) in front of the number..

Nice looking tractor, I ruled out JD and Kabota early in my research also. Im not paying thousands extra for green or orange paint. They both use DEF and DPF with regen. I dont want anything to do with that! Did you look at Mahindra? They have a complete line of compact tractors with a seven year drivetrain warranty.

It has the same hydraulic pressure no matter the engine speed just more flow at higher rpms. I have an LS too had it 1 year. Put 250 hours on it so far. Love it.

Killer little rig and I paid $5-6k less than a friends John Deere lawnmower looking rig with a 550lb loader. Great tractor even better price!

Southern Food Junkie most parts interchange with New Holland. I own an Xg3135 and have had no problem getting parts.

About the only new vehicle I remember my father buying is a Massey Ferguson 245 around 1980. He just made the first major repair (lift seals) this year. It's hard to argue with that investment.

The company that makes LS has been building tractors for over 35 years. They are a South Korean company. In North America, they have been sold as LG Montana, Montana, Farmtrac, LandTrac, LongAgri, LandTrac, McCormick Tractors and Landini. New Holland Ag also imports LS tractors to resell as LS-New Holland. (They originally had agreements with Fiat, which purchased New Holland. New Holland is a division of CNH Global).

That's a nice tractor. Ya the JD and Kubota tractors are expensive with not a lot of goodies. I myself like the Kioti tractors. For $30-$40k you can get a Kioti with a lot of options.

Yep, still love my tractor. It has been back to the dealer one time for a n electrical issue. It was a problem with the ignition and throttle switch. But they fixed it and have had no problems since.

Hey BarnCreek - wondering if you could provide an update on the LS Tractor? How are you feeling about it after some more time on it? I'm looking at the LS brand as well. Also considering the Kioti - both in the 35 HP range. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I just saw your comment. My 3140 is enough to get any log I want to on my sawmill. I was thinking about a 3025 when I bought my 3140. I'm glad I went with the 3140, it seems to be the perfect size. Small enough to get around in the woods, and big enough to load any log my sawmill would handle. I'm sure you could get by with a smaller tractor, but I wouldn't want to.

I can't decide between a model like yours or the xr 3135, the xr has a few more bells whistles, little more weight, but 5 less hp. Im curious, did you know about the xr model? If so, what led you away from it onto the xg?

@mesanders1113

jcahreevdy it depends on your intentions sometimes the extra loader capacity and weight is more important than HP. Sometimes those rear remotes and extra features are very handy.

How about making another review video now that you got some hours on it.

Are you missing your rear right fender hand rail? It looks like there's one on the left side, but not on the right. I have an LS 3037H and it has hand rails on both fenders. Mine also has side steps up to the operator's platform on both sides.

Mine only has them on the left side. It would be difficult I think to get on the right side of the tractor because of the joystick being in the way.

I'm able to mount from either side on mine, but you're right, I believe it is "designed" to be easier to mount on the left. Mine has about 250 hours (new 09/2015) and I have had zero problems with it. Really like it.

The Kubota L3901 which is one size smaller than your tractor weighs 2,778 lbs. just over 100 lbs less than your tractor. The Kubota L4701 that is the same size as your tractor weighs 3,307 lbs. that is over 500 lbs more than your LS. You were saying heavier is better so I am just giving you some true specs. That is a good looking tractor though. It is however made in Korea.
