I'm pretty sure that I may be around your fathers age and I'm happy to see a younger man giving good advice. Well done sir. Cheers, .

They don’t know where my backhoe is. But yesterday I paid for the rim guard. It adds almost 1200 lbs. Great advice

Good advice! I went with a JD 2038R from all the good reviews, but also from the fact that our property is pretty much surrounded by JD dealers. Since we're in hill country, my dealer said they actually won't sell you a tractor without fluid in the tires. Not sure if that's entirely true, but that's what I was told when I asked to have them filled.

I wanted to start by saying Thank you for all the very helpful videos for a guy that has never owned a tractor before, that being said I wish I would have watched this video before I bought my 2024 LS Tractor MT242HCL from Lang Equipment in Hudson WI. I should have ran when he tried taking me out of the LS and wanted to sell me a Bad Boy and now I have my first issue after 20 hours on my LS and they will not return phone calls and the closest LS dealer is 150 miles away. Any ideas why the tractor will start and run for 30 to 60 seconds before it shuts down? Any help would be great. Thanks again!

Micah, you give great advice, I wish I could have bought a tractor from you but kubota is much closer to the house. What happened to your canopy?
