Overview
A homesteader's first-impressions video after upgrading from a Mahindra to the LS MT226E shuttle-shift. Covers the shuttle-shift vs. hydrostatic trade-off, real-world loader capacity (rated ~1,900 lbs, dealer-estimated ~1,200 at the bucket), liquid-filled rear tires, tilling unworked ground, the six-year unlimited-hour warranty, and financing specifics including a 2.99% rate and ~$300/month payment. Best for buyers weighing the MT226E against a small hydrostatic machine.
