LS Tractors

[thelonepatriot]

My brother recently bought one of those LS tractors with a cab so he can plow his driveway without freezing to death. He nearly died 2 winters ago from pneumonia after using his Massey Ferguson with no cab. My question is are those LS tractors any good?

They are small tractors imported from Korea.

LS is the brand name, Have a dealer near me, they seem to do a good business but I know nothing about the tractor other than most of them are blue.

Use the internet, that way you can find out things you don’t know! This is what an LS tractor is!

Yeah and they look a lot like a New Holland too. There seems to be no connection as far as I have read.

On Youtube, Farmer Tyler Ranch is demoing an LS with loader and cab. Might check it out there!

The CNH compact tractors are built by LS.

There is a dealer nearby that lets us demonstrate a tractor at Junkshow. We’ve had the typical 30 to 50 horse models and from what we’ve seen they are as good and as comfortable for drivability and operator layout as any of the main line builders we demo. Definitely above the level of a Bobcat, Cub Cadet or other sub-compact.
In this area there are a handful of dealers within an hour that offer LS as main line or second line tractor so it seems that the support is there. I would consider an LS before Summit or Bad Boy on dealer support alone.

Are there any compact tractors sold in America today that are manufactured in America? just wondering, seems like any tractors I know of are all made in Asia some where and many are made in Korea.

 

[Phil T]

Been around a long time. Made in S Korea. Have a good reputation around here. I've seen some good sized ones I would guess to be in the 70-80 HP range.

 

[caterpillar guy]

Has not been a tractor under a 100 HP about, that is made in the States since about the 70's or 80's. Doesn't matter what color you buy.

 

[caterpillar guy]

I myself can't wrap my mind around buying tractor with foreign engines in them. Nobody around here seems to have very good results with some of them. I'll keep my easy to work on models.

 

[RobCons]

I have three friends with LS units from 25 to 40 hp and 250 to 400 hours. No problems with them to speak of. Couple of loose bolts but thats about all.

It appears from researching Tractordata.com that some JD tractors are built in the USA My neighbor owned a LS tractor with cab & FEL for several years with no major problems.

 

[Mcrafty1]

I see on the link provided above they have models with up to 102 HP, that's a pretty good size tractor for any smaller commercial farm.

Thanks, I was more asking about if there were any being manufactured, rather than build/assembled with domestic and foreign parts. Are the tractors you mention fully manufactured in the USA?

I see now it says manufactured, but JD builds much of their stuff outside of the us so maybe one would need to dig deeper than just the specs they have in whats here. IDK

Or one could just dispense with the "too cool for school" feigned ignorance and just admit that one knows what an LS tractor is...
