LS tractors the good the bad and the ugly

Anyone on here have one? Was wanting to know what problems you have had ? If any? I have had my 4041 for almost 8 years and almost 500hours . Just broke it for the first time.

 

I looked into them a little bit, but I want a hydro and from what i looked at they really didnt offer it unless i missed it. My dad has a LX4100 Yanmar which is about the size I want and the capability. Would be nice to have a cab though, maybe in the future. Yanmar made JD (compact) tractors for quite a while, so i know they are pretty good.

 

Bought a 4150HC about a year ago. Only have about 80 hours on it so far but love it. The first time I mowed I must have hit an in ground yellow jacket nest as my cab was instantly surrounded by yellow jackets hitting the glass. I realized right then the $3k extra for the cab was the best $$$$ ever spent! My defrost setting on my climate control doesn't work. Need to get it back to the dealer and have them take a look. Still under warranty so.... What broke on yours?

 

It is four wheel drive. And the right front knuckle housing where it bolts to the front main axle housing . 5 bolts that hold it together sheared off . And then from that it broke one of the hydraulic rams for the steering, and another bracket that the ram attaches too. And bent the center link

 

Wow damn.
