SMART UTILITY ATTACHMENTS THAT DO MORE

I bought the LGM-100 with the hopes of saving my aging back. I have a large property that requires mulch, loam/topsoil and any other type of heavy material you can think of. I opted for the joystick control and the upgraded actuators. It arrived via the shipper and was delivered to my garage using a power pallet jack. I unboxed all of the parts and laid them out in order. Looked at the instructions (which I might add were quite well written. High quality paper was used with very good photographs). I did all of the mechanical work first. The steel used in the frame of the tractors is quite hard so I would recommend at least 2 good 5/16ths and 3/8”drill bits and a can of WD-40. I used a transfer punch to find the center and used small drills working my way up to the 3/8” needed. Some tractors don’t require any drilling but my x590 wasn’t one of them.
Once all of the mechanical parts were mounted I moved on to the controls and wiring harness. The wiring harness is very well made and utilizes high grade automotive connectors. I would not zip tie permanently any of the wiring harness until proper operation has been verified. It all went well and I was able to verify the proper operation. I ran into an issue with the dump actuator clutching in the retracted position. This is where I picked up the phone and called customer service. Through a process of elimination I was walked through a process and we collectively managed to get everything working perfectly. This is where I need to express how awesome the customer service is at LGM. Please do not hesitate if you think this attachment is what you need. It is perfect for what I need it for and will save my 70 year old aging back. Thanks to all of you at LGM for a great product.

I purchased a LGM front loader. I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to install, but it turned out it was quite easy to do. It was all plug and play after the electronic boxes were installed. I installed the electronics first followed by the actuators and bucket. I got the joy stick and faster actuator upgrade also. This is installed on a JD 570.
I have a 25 gallon sprayer tank which attaches to the back. I put 12 gallons of water in it to use as ballast in the back, negating the need for weights. It works very well and I have moved 12 yds of 3/4 inch rock so far. Give Dan a call he will happily talk to you about his product and if it’s right for you. He wants you to have a great experience with it. I already had a 570 so the LGM seemed a natural fit, for the workload I had.

LGM putting in some light work this morning. Walking six 50lb bags of sand 200 feet was NOT happening. Work smarter, not harder.
No one wants to walk wheel barrows full of rocks across an acre of land. The LGM is out of hibernation here in Mass and the spring cleanup has begun. Work smarter, not harder

I purchased an LGM system for my John Deere X-540. I received my order and was impressed with the quality of the bucket, lifting arms and the wiring harness. The instructions provided were very good and the wiring harness is very good quality. It was easy to complete the installation with the instructions provided. During the installation I broke the mount for the control box, not because of the quality of the mount, but from my mistake. I contacted Dan at LGM to get a replacement, and he was concerned that I may have received a substandard part. I assured him that it was from my error and not the quality of the mount. I was ready to pay for my mistake, but Dan sent me the replacement part at no cost for the part or shipping. The experience I’ve had with Dan and this company has been exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone.

I have now moved 4 yards of #57 rock and 1 yard of red clay. The LGM handled both wonderfully and never once did the machine bog down or cap out. I was off loading from a trailer, so it was hard to get a full scoop because of the angle after a few loads but I suspect if it’s dumped on the ground, you can consistently get full loads. It doesn’t take too long to get use to the controls to really get full scoops. Assembly of the LGM wasn’t too bad if you have a few tools. I did modify the switch location (with consulting with the owners) as I plan on upgrading from a 330 model to a 500 series model and didn’t want to drill holes in the dash. So I extended the wires and put the switches in the cup holder with is very comfortable to operate. I know I will have this forever and can’t wait for future attachments.
