LS XR4145 Tractor overview and walk around

A hands-on walkaround by someone who owns a Massey Ferguson 2705E and is evaluating a friend's 2017 LS XR4145 by direct comparison. Covers front tire size, the LS engine transition post-2017, low-mounted fuel tank placement, rear remotes, three-point hitch controls, transmission range/gear feel, and a live loader test with an estimated 1,800-lb live oak log. Best for buyers cross-shopping the XR4145 against comparable-sized tractors.

An owner-operator comparing this tractor against machines he personally owns and has used, so expect candid peer impressions rather than a sales pitch.
