"I would buy this bucket loader backhoe or another again without thinking. I run it just about daily. I plow dirt, snow, use a 4-foot brush hog and a 6-foot disc, drag trees, and dig countless ditches. I push it to its every limit. "
"We have had this tractor for 1.5 years. We have had DPS system issues with it since the beginning. It doesn't seem to burn off correctly. It has low power issues. The DPS light is on more than it is off. Last weekend, I let it run for 2 hours waiting for the DPS to finish and it never did. I tried to use it this weekend. It still needed to regenerate but never would. I let it run for 1.5 hours and ended taking it back to the dealer. "
"It is a great little tractor for in the woods and moving snow or around my hobby farm. It always starts good in the cold weather. I wish it had a cup holder and tool box."
"I have used the heck out of this thing. I've kept it serviced and have had no issues. I felt it was a good value for a homeowner. I'm not out making money with it. If so, I would probably need a Kubota or John Deere. "
"The front steering arm is too light. It bends very easy. LS will not replace them. They give you a song and dance about how it has to be light to protect the front axle. The controls on the backhoe are also very thin and have already worn out on mine."
"4x4 is great in snow and manure, I got cross ref. to all the filters etc. great use on my hobby horse farm. real easy to drive with hydro and power steering"
"Excellent little tractor I do a lot of bush hogging and fencing with mine,only complaint is with the industrial tires,when cleaning the barn out they loss traction a little too easy.also have an aftermarket cab on mine and its hard to keep cool in the summer,but great in the winter."
"I have had this for almost a year now. It has done everything I have asked, and I've asked a lot. Round bales no problem. One on front, one on back bush hogging 12 foot tall briars, piling brush like a pro. A little light in the tail for lifting heavy loads, plan to have the tires liquid filled. The seat is my only complaint. It is thin and no suspension after a full day in the seat its hard to sit. "
"So far I have operated a 5' tiller, 5' bush hog, 5' box blade, landscape rake, post hole digger, and middle buster with this tractor. It has performed with authority all the tasks I have asked of it. The tiller was the most surprising. I have always been told 10 hp per foot for a tiller. At only 33 hp, when I rented the 5 footer, I was a little concerned. The machine handled it with no problems. I just went through the first service with relative ease. Filters were available at my dealer and were shipped to my house. Filters were not cheap, but reasonable. The oil fill on the motor is slightly aggravating to reach, due to way the hood tilts. Grease fittings on tractor and FEL are easily accessible. I looked at several different makes prior to making my decision, both domestic and foreign. The LS was the best bang for the buck for regular (3+x/week) homeowner use. I can't say how well it would hold up to commercial use, but I assume it would do well. What I paid for the LS w/FEL, bush hog, box blade, and rake was cheaper than a comparable JD tractor only. Warranty is comparable to others. If I could recommend anything, it would be a foldable ROPS (4" shy of fitting in my garage with non-folding) and having ballast put in the tires if you get a FEL. The ballast will keep the tractor from becoming "tippy" with a heavy FEL load, and also keep you from having to use 4WD as much. It could stand another (higher) road gear. It has the power for it, IMHO."
"Let me start by saying this is my first tractor purchase ever. I grew up around them but they were never new or very safe for that matter. I looked at the following tractors (packages: 5' shredder, 5' box) along with the G3033: - John Deere 3038E - Kubota L3800DT - Mahindra 3016 - Kioti DS3510 - Yanmar EX3200 My criteria was 30+ HP with 4WD, Universal Quick attach/detach FEL and at least a 5' shredder with safety chains and 5' box blade. I also wanted a trailer but was usually outside my budget. I test drove all but the Mahindra, John Deere (driven others) and Kubota (driven others). I chose the LS G3033 because it had all the key features I wanted plus it was the most comfortable and drove the best for the money. I wasn't looking for comfort but getting on and off was one of the easiest and it had plenty of knee room. I also liked the standard Universal quick attach bucket and grill guard being standard for this model. Ease of maintenance also played a large part. Everything on the tractor is marked well and is easy to get to. I also liked the Mitsubishi motor. It ended up between the Kioti and the LS. I purchased my tractor package from RCO tractor off of old Bee Caves drive in Austin Texas. Great experience. John spend a ton of time with me to get me familiar with the tractor. In all fairness I should mention that I've only shred my front pasture so far. I also just took my shredder off and moved my box blade yesterday and was baffled by the safety cover on the PTO shaft (never had those on our equipment as a kid). As I get more familiar with the tractor and implements, I will do a follow up review but all is great so far."
