I'm aging and surprise! My body of today is NOT the body of even 10 years ago. I need help and I'm thinking mechanical help. Plus, I figure I'll put some $ into something material before the $ inflates (blows up is more like it).
I'm looking at a LS (S' Korea) MT225E/HE (I think the HE is the hydrostatic one which would be mine, but I don't know for certain). It's a 25hp model and that's all that I want. What caught my eye was that the bucket will lift 1600# at the pins, and that's 400# more than anything else in the hp range that I saw. It will also come with a backhoe. What I initially have planned for it is light logging (firewood), digging, hauling dirt, snowbanks, and maybe snow "plowing", later rototilling, and I just don't know what else. I'll figure it out.
Mine will have a Yanmar engine (I think).
If you have LS tractor experience I'd like to know the experience was for you. Great? Good? Alright? Bad? Horrible?
Anything else that you'd like to add would be appreciated.
TIA
