My husband and i are in the market for our first tractor, well now we know not to even consider LS. THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP. Hope you can get it all figured out. Best of luck to you.
My husband has been admiring these tractors and considered checking them out. I said...check them out here first. We'll be keeping our old one. It's dependable and easy to work on here at home. I'm rolling my eyes every time I think of getting anything new now. So sorry y'all have had to go through this but glad the information is out there now. Thanks Danny!
So LS stands for LOUSY SERVICE? You deserve a replacement or money back. Thought about buying one but seeing this service history, they failed their customer.
You've got a lot more patience then me. Seems like the maybe the harness and the computer are not in sync. But whatever the issues are they need new mechanics and you need your $$$$ back.
Danny, I sent a comment to LS via thee link you provided. I was very respectful as hard as it was. I hope it helps. If there is anything further I can do to help, I am committed to it. best wishes going forward
Danny , I’m so sorry your having such troubles with your tractor ! Get them to buy it back from you, or find out about lemon laws , report them to the better business bureau, you should not be having so many issues!
If it's financed call the bank and tell them you're gonna take it back, leave it at the dealership and not make another payment. I did with a truck and the dealership got a call and I got another truck.
@@DeepSouthHomestead its because you used the trial version, anytime you use a free version of editing software it will have a conspicuous banner right across the middle. Also I used to hear that ls tractors were New Holland's with different stickers. That ls looks like 100% Chinese
They would have already given me a new one!! Enough is enough. I can’t believe a company would just continue to “fix” a product and not stand behind what they make! I hope they make it right with you!! We bought a John Deere last year and kept having problems with the hydraulics and had to take it back twice and they allowed us to get a different one because they had “fixed” it both times!
No LS XR 3135 Tractor for me !!! The money you spend on that I would get my money back .So hate you're having such a hard time .Your in my prayers 🙏 God Bless
Any one can have a product with some problems but when they do not back up the product - that's the end. Was considering one of their units but no more.
I stand by my previous comment. Buy once cry once. Don’t care if it’s green or orange but you get what you pay for. Big players in this game have already figured this stuff out.
The problem with what you say is most tractors under 50 hp are made by ls or mahindra , i bought a iseki 36hp 4wd and it is still made in japan, but came with chinese tyres and a korean seat , i only have 50 hours on it so far it has worked perfect , and it didn't cost much more than chinese junk
I have seen a lot of crazy things go on because of weak or bad grounds on electronics... not sure if this applies in this situation but could not hurt to check
What a shame that a company does not respect their customers any more than this. I personally have been looking at tractors in the past few months as I intend to purchase in 2019. I have looked at the LS on a few occasions but I will not waist another minute of my time after seeing these videos.
At first it seemed like it had some kind of fuel delivery issue, but it shouldn’t have been smoking like that in that one clip... check the air filter too.
Well it's tied into throttle it smokes from time to time it dies but restarts. Looks like the fuel tank is a bit low. From what I can see it could be low fuel pressure and setting a code. Or bad fuel pressure transducer if it has that. Restrictions in fuel line need more info to totally figure it out
@@DeepSouthHomestead ok that tells me that the problem is going to be a ground wire for that circuit some how. Also could be reference signal for computer. I know nothing about that tractor but have a fairly good understanding of how most of it works. It could be connector on computer. It's not a program issue you need a good tech working on it not a parts replacer
Tell them to bring you a new tractor and hall that hunk of junk off. You can't get any work done with that piece of crud. It is making for an unhealthy and aggravating stress on your nerves and heart.
I was talking to the LS dealer in Monroe, Wa about buying a tractor. This video caused me to do more looking around. Seems like LS has a lot more problems than most companies. Even more damning is how they handle the problems. Kubota here I come.
South Georgia Farmer there is your problem. South Korea manufacturers everything with complicated electronics that they themselves don’t understand and they don’t have the proper technical information to perform proper diagnostic. I repair appliances and appliances manufactured in South Korea are the worst. Samsung Appliance’s are way over complicated on the electronics and Samsung themselves can’t fix a lot of them, they have to replace the,.
I have over 35 years driving Diesel engines. They have certainly been a disaster since all the emissions BS. I have had countless regen issues with multiple trucks. The closest thing to compare to your issues eventually was repaired with a complete new wiring harness. Other than that it is usually a sensor.
I bought a brand new tractor back in 2006. It is a Jinma 254. I had a few warranty problems and they fixed them very quickly. I had to get a whole new hydraulic system for my front end loader but was all covered under warranty. All in all it has been a good tractor for the price. Still have it today. Wish you the best of luck Danny, I think you will come out on top. If i decide to buy a new tractor I know it will not be a LS.
Danny do you use a bulk fuel tank? If you do maybe take a sample from it send it out for testing. Maybe some kind of oxidation or whatever is occurring in the tank and messing up the computer system. Maybe it's not water but chemical reaction.
Danny, you're not unintelligent; you 'know' what you should have done a long time ago. What are you waiting for? And, its really difficult to learn YOU are paying $100 each visit to the shop! None of this is acceptable....is it!?
@@tubularguynine I know Danny said he hadn't paid that yet, but they're still charging him, its adding up, being reported to the credit unions, and registering on his Record as 'Late.' (I wonder what that model, as a breed, has for a review)? This particular piece of equipment is dead-in-the-water, as far as I'd be concerned, and register a complaint to BBB if a NEW replacement wasn't offered. -- my opinion --
I just had another thought. If possible you should check with other buyers of that tractor. You can locate them via inquiry on the internet or an ad in your local newspaper or,if lucky, maybe the dealer would supply you with a customer list.
The seat have anything to do with anything? I've seen when ppl are thin they have to jump down on the seat to activate functions. IDK just trying to think of something.
Sorry for you issues. Our experience with LS is just the opposite, so you clearly got a lemon. We bought an LS XR4145 about 3.5 years ago for our large deer ranch. We work it hard, doing timber harvesting, plowing, bush hogging, seeding, etc. There are 5 of us that keep it working most days. in the time that we have had it, it has never been in the shop for repair. We do maintain it well, and maybe even overdo some. I hope thing improve for you.
Hi Danny, I just wanted to tell you that yesterday we purchased an LS XG3135H, before I saw your video. I pray ours will not have the same issues and at the same time yours will be taken care of. I don't know if the one we purchase will have similar issues. However I just wrote LS Corp, and shared my concerns with our purchase, I also sent the link to your video..
Heres exactly what I,think. We are buying a tractor very soon, the exact tractor in video is on our shortlist, I looked twice at one at Outdoor Equip in Rome Ga. Hey LS, I WONT BE BUYING IT !!!! DO THE RIGHT THING !!!
i am interested as a prospective customer to ls on their MT5.73 OR THE XP8101CPS. I wanted to know if either can take a subframe backhoe. i called their headquarters that answered on the first ring and the lady on the other end REFUSED to answer the question. She insisted for me to call a local dealer...who via email after 2 days has not responded...remember i am wanting to be a customer. A couple weeks ago i tried asking LS on Twitter and nothing. if they want to get rid of prospective future customers via ignorance, and ignore issues like you are having, why be in business? My local dealer sold seven units since they started in spring of 2018. i think i am seeing a pattern i don't like. spec for spec being equal across the major brands in same HP RANGE, they are WAY LOWER in price, as much as 50k cheaper between the xp 8101cps vs matching features on a kubota m6101. sad. with better price and specs, they are soreley....VERY SORELY lacking in marketing , sales, and customer service.
I’m shopping for a tractor right now. After watching your videos LS has been scratched from my list. Kubota, JD, Rural King look to be the final three for me.
@@trulysurprised-bk7cy yeah my kubota case ih dealer had 29 of tyms and ls tractors in to his shop wich he said there make kinda junk and customers traded them all in for kubotas and kubotas still lasting long life
I honestly can’t believe you haven’t gotten your money back and walked away. It might be what you want in a tractor but life is too short to deal with garbage. If that tractor was your employee you would have fired him months ago and never looked back.
Friend... From Western, PA... What was the final resolution of this LS nightmare? I do believe that you now have a Kubota; which had mostly mechanical instead of electrical connections. Still using an 1949 Ferguson TO-20 here for basic bush-hogging and taking the grand kids for rides!
You have been more than patient. Be careful. I have heard of companies that dawdle saying they are doing repairs until the warranty date expires and then claim it is no longer their problem. Demand a replacement if this is the model you feel you must have.
Code 81 is a DPF regeneration fault. DPF is overloaded or plugged. This is the fault my tractor has, 150% full DPF and goes into limp mode for a 45 minute regeneration. Regens use up a lot fuel!
Sorry to hear about your tractor. I considered an LS when I was looking at tractors last year. Finally went with the Massey. Figured if I could only afford one I would buy a machine with more of a history
Dinner with the fam tonite and my brother is in the market for a tractor. LS came up in the conversation. I told them about your problems. I think it got scratched for a Mahindra.
you are doing a better job maintaining your composure than i would be able to..My flesh is so weak in a case like this,,I really hope this series has a happy ending..Im ready to picket LS headquarters with you sir
Let me ask a few questions. When the tractor goes into limp mode with the red caution light and the error code of F02 636, does the rpms lower when the clutch is pushed in? Have you turned it off, let it cool down and it started back up fine? When the codes shows up, is it after using the tractor with normal operation, shutting it off for say 15 min and when starting it back up it throws the code? When turning on an implement like a bush hog after the engine warms up does it throw the code. Im not familiar with the F00 81 code so I cant question or comment on that one. I agree with the rest of the comments, you have been extremely patient and this problem has been going on way to long for you.
I left a comment on the first tractor video which I am certain that you read. It was about the 'lemon law' we have where I live. Did you have a chance to check whether there is such a law there where you live?
So sorry you have to go through this. I know couple of people LS tractor and they don't issues like this. I bought Mahindra tractor brand new in 2017, has been great & there's no regen cycle on Mahindra.
Here is what I just sent to LS: I am currently viewing documentation of repeated issues one of your customers, Danny King of Wiggins, MS is having with your tractor. I've only seen 3 months of clips of every 636 service code errors, and it makes me so glad that we own a kubota instead! If you want to preserve some brand integrity in the small farm community, you would do well to take better care of this customer that has considerable market reach. No one should be expected to pay for NINE pickups that all fail to correct the same problem. This video will be seen by thousands of aspiring homesteaders, many of whom will be potential customers in the future.
Wanda you might have better walked home and cooked supper .At least by the time Danny hot home he would have a warm meal to calm down to. Now as for Danny, well in the old days of that was a horse ,they would have shot it and put it out of its misery
I hate this for you Danny and Wanda. We have the comparable kubota model - made right down the road here in Georgia and it has been perfect for 1 1/2 years! Wish we could get kubota to send you one, i think you would be much happier!
Just sent LS a message about there product and service. You should demand that they replace that piece of crap with one that works if they make one or return it and buy a real tractor, they come in Orange paint. Good luck Danny you have way more class about it than I would!
Where did you buy this tractor at? Seems there service department has a lot to be desired. I also live within 20 miles of you and I don't want to deal with incompetent service> Thank you
I really feel for this guy. I believe every bit of it. I also feel guilty because I own a G 3033 LS. I live in the North side of Atlanta. Work all over the State grading, clearing bush hog lots, have several builders I work for . Dig driveways, prepare yards....I have over 300 hours on it and never had a hiccup. No problems. Matter of fact I'm considering moving up to an XR 4140 C Model. This video however scares me. I might better consider something else. Very sorry for your problems bud! Mark.
The flashing yellow diamond is to tell you regen is about to start ( if you are in a highly flammable area you can inhibit it) then the first yellow symbol will light.When it is up to temp the second symbol for temp will light.This is normal it will take 15 to to 20 minutes before they shut off the sound of the engine will change and some smoke this is normal. At the point you are at now I would force start the regen by putting shuttle in neutral press the break and bring engine to lowest rpm press the left button on the row of stitches below the steering wheel and hold the dpf switch for 3 seconds the engine will rev up to 2600 rpm the first dpf light will lightup. In about 3 minutes the 2nd will light up. It will idle down in about 17 minutes let it idle for a few minutes to cool the turbo so it doesn't warp it that should fix it. When i start mine i let the computer cycle first and run rpm higher while driving your tractor. Don't shut down tractor while in regen. Run it normal. Mine did the same thing when i first got it because i didn't let it get all the way through the regen cycle (2017 xg3135 )i hope this helps it worked for me
The Filmora ad was across your video throughout the whole video. Time to bring back tractor to the front door step of the Co. demanding money back ! Put a fork in me I'm done !
My letter I submitted to their website. My name is Chris and I reside in Jacksonville Fl. I'm new to farming and this year we're looking to purchase a tractor. I have decided to go with a new tractor because I dont want to deal with any problems. LS tractors have been on my short list but after coming across a recent review of one of your customers I'm really thinking twice about owning one of your tractors. I'm sure you have heard of Mr Danny from Deep South Homestead. I value his opinion and have found him to be a very fair and non biased individual. He is clearly having problems with a fairly new piece of equipment and I certainly dont want to find myself in this same situation.i hope this letter of concern reached someone who can rectify this mans situation . Otherwise I certainly will not be considering any of LS equipment ever. Sincerely, Chris
Danny have you been in contact with any other LS owners? Just wondering if they're experiencing similar issues? I'm looking to replace my MF 135. It won't be an LS!
Was thinking of trading my 1983 ford 1710 LBH in on an LS. This video was enough for me to justify keeping the old girl.
New Holland.

What about warranty work? Will they fix it?

you are doing a better job maintaining your composure than i would be able to..My flesh is so weak in a case like this,,I really hope this series has a happy ending..Im ready to picket LS headquarters with you sir
Shared on Facebook. Hope you can get your money back
Reading some comments online about this problem, LS is going to redo the software on these computers
I was thinking of buying an LS tractor i bought a Massey Ferguson 2018 2706E glad after see this video i made the right choice live my massey so far.
Let me ask a few questions. When the tractor goes into limp mode with the red caution light and the error code of F02 636, does the rpms lower when the clutch is pushed in? Have you turned it off, let it cool down and it started back up fine? When the codes shows up, is it after using the tractor with normal operation, shutting it off for say 15 min and when starting it back up it throws the code? When turning on an implement like a bush hog after the engine warms up does it throw the code. Im not familiar with the F00 81 code so I cant question or comment on that one.
I agree with the rest of the comments, you have been extremely patient and this problem has been going on way to long for you.
Have you disconnected the battery and then re-connected the battery to hard reset the ECM. The computer on that tractor is bad.
I left a comment on the first tractor video which I am certain that you read. It was about the 'lemon law' we have where I live. Did you have a chance to check whether there is such a law there where you live?
must not of been logged into the internet when converting this video ?
ive ran into this befor...the banner that is
So sorry you have to go through this. I know couple of people LS tractor and they don't issues like this. I bought Mahindra tractor brand new in 2017, has been great & there's no regen cycle on Mahindra.
Here is what I just sent to LS:
I am currently viewing documentation of repeated issues one of your customers, Danny King of Wiggins, MS is having with your tractor. I've only seen 3 months of clips of every 636 service code errors, and it makes me so glad that we own a kubota instead!
If you want to preserve some brand integrity in the small farm community, you would do well to take better care of this customer that has considerable market reach. No one should be expected to pay for NINE pickups that all fail to correct the same problem. This video will be seen by thousands of aspiring homesteaders, many of whom will be potential customers in the future.
Wanda you might have better walked home and cooked supper .At least by the time Danny hot home he would have a warm meal to calm down to. Now as for Danny, well in the old days of that was a horse ,they would have shot it and put it out of its misery
I hate this for you Danny and Wanda. We have the comparable kubota model - made right down the road here in Georgia and it has been perfect for 1 1/2 years! Wish we could get kubota to send you one, i think you would be much happier!
If I was dealing with your dealer at 100.00 a pop my patience would wear out quickly.
Just sent LS a message about there product and service. You should demand that they replace that piece of crap with one that works if they make one or return it and buy a real tractor, they come in Orange paint. Good luck Danny you have way more class about it than I would!
Where did you buy this tractor at? Seems there service department has a lot to be desired. I also live within 20 miles of you and I don't want to deal with incompetent service> Thank you
I really feel for this guy. I believe every bit of it. I also feel guilty because I own a G 3033 LS. I live in the North side of Atlanta. Work all over the State grading, clearing bush hog lots, have several builders I work for . Dig driveways, prepare yards....I have over 300 hours on it and never had a hiccup. No problems. Matter of fact I'm considering moving up to an XR 4140 C Model. This video however scares me. I might better consider something else. Very sorry for your problems bud! Mark.
The flashing yellow diamond is to tell you regen is about to start ( if you are in a highly flammable area you can inhibit it) then the first yellow symbol will light.When it is up to temp the second symbol for temp will light.This is normal it will take 15 to to 20 minutes before they shut off the sound of the engine will change and some smoke this is normal.
At the point you are at now I would force start the regen by putting shuttle in neutral press the break and bring engine to lowest rpm press the left button on the row of stitches below the steering wheel and hold the dpf switch for 3 seconds the engine will rev up to 2600 rpm the first dpf light will lightup. In about 3 minutes the 2nd will light up. It will idle down in about 17 minutes let it idle for a few minutes to cool the turbo so it doesn't warp it that should fix it.
When i start mine i let the computer cycle first and run rpm higher while driving your tractor. Don't shut down tractor while in regen. Run it normal.
Mine did the same thing when i first got it because i didn't let it get all the way through the regen cycle (2017 xg3135 )i hope this helps it worked for me
The Filmora ad was across your video throughout the whole video. Time to bring back tractor to the front door step of the Co. demanding money back ! Put a fork in me I'm done !
My letter I submitted to their website.
My name is Chris and I reside in Jacksonville Fl. I'm new to farming and this year we're looking to purchase a tractor. I have decided to go with a new tractor because I dont want to deal with any problems. LS tractors have been on my short list but after coming across a recent review of one of your customers I'm really thinking twice about owning one of your tractors. I'm sure you have heard of Mr Danny from Deep South Homestead. I value his opinion and have found him to be a very fair and non biased individual. He is clearly having problems with a fairly new piece of equipment and I certainly dont want to find myself in this same situation.i hope this letter of concern reached someone who can rectify this mans situation . Otherwise I certainly will not be considering any of LS equipment ever.
Sincerely,
Chris
WOW you have the patients of a saint
I hope they see this video
Danny have you been in contact with any other LS owners? Just wondering if they're experiencing similar issues? I'm looking to replace my MF 135. It won't be an LS!
