"I have had this tractor along with the loader and mid mount mower for a little over 10 months now. I have been very pleased with everything so far. The tractor has given me no problems at all, the loader has been great, and the mower deck performs as well or better than pretty much anything else I have ever used. I have previously used a John Deere X749 and two Grasshopper front mount zero-turns to mow with and this LS mower has a quality of cut just as good or better than the John Deere or Grasshopper. I have also spent a lot of time around Massey Ferguson, John Deere, and Kubota sub-compacts and small frame compacts and this LS pretty much out performs them in all functional categories. I mow a lot, use the loader a great deal, and do tons of three-point and power take-off work with this tractor. Other reviewers stated that the rear end is light. If the tractor has weight on the back or fluid in the rear tires, there is no issue. I personally think anything with a loader should absolutely have rear ballast of some sort."

"I bought this tractor brand new, owned it for 3 years, and put 200 hours on it. I had an injector problem right off the bat as well as a muffler crack, but the dealer repaired it under warranty. Also, the differential lock went out, but it was repaired under warranty too. The tractor is great for the small acreage homeowner, but too small and light for any serious work. The tractor must have the rear tires filled with fluid. Traction stinks. The seat feels like it's angled forward so I feel like I'm constantly sliding off the front of the seat. The tractor is very narrow and gets tippy, especially using the loader without ballast on the back. "

"I haven't had much seat time on it yet. I bought it as a repo from DLL Finance. DLL was great about helping me transfer the existing warranty from LS. The tractor seems to be well-made. It has nice features and heavy-duty loader mounts. I like the LED digital dash, front & rear work lamps, twin hydraulic pedals, flat floor, excellent 3-point, and loader lift capacity. It does smoke a bit upon start up, then clears away. The rear is too light. I plan to add liquid tire ballast soon. I have to use 4-wheel drive to back up over the slightest inclines, even without a load in the bucket. The rear wheels are not designed for adding bolt-on weights either. Overall, it is a comfortable, easy-to-use, nimble tractor. I am satisfied with it. "
