[QUOTE="Earthwerks Unlimited, post: 19341, member: 1300"] I had an '03 LS180. I liked the machine but it was extremely loud drivetrain and hydraulicpump-wise. It was so loud in fact the factory bought it back. The dealer and I separately used decibel meters and it was found to be just under what a jet engine produces. When I put it in 2-speed it sounded like it was going to blow up. My '05 is also loud but it's the engine. Hydraulically there is little noise. The '03 and machi9nes of its era are prone to having instrument panel cicuit boards that crack. New cost about $400. If you have rust forming around where the ignition key goes like I did you might want to drill a hole just under the ignition swicth in the steel to make a drain hole. Worked great for me. If you do winter work or work in mud or sand consider tracks by TracksPlus.com (someone here on the board sells them too). They will turn your machine into a nearly unstoppable tank! [/QUOTE]
