The owner covers radiator screen clogging during mowing, front-end lift and ballast limits when using pallet forks over 2,000 lbs, and DPF regen behavior. Candid and low-drama. Best for buyers wanting an honest long-term durability check from someone actually working the machine hard.
An owner-operator channel documenting hands-on ranch use, though the creator notes LS does sponsor the channel, which is worth keeping in mind when weighing the consistently positive tone.
Temperature only crept up when seeds and debris clogged the secondary radiator screen during mowing. Cleaning the screen immediately brought it back to normal.
The loader is rated just over 5,000 lb, but above 2,000 lb on forks the back end gets light, so counterweight or ballast is recommended.
At 212 hours the owner did not notice a regen happen, though LS staff said it likely had, so he may simply not notice when it occurs.
The owner says he has been nothing but happy with it, pushing it as hard as anybody would, and it has handled everything thrown at it.
