[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 3343073, member: 3448"] I ended up delaying a purchase until later this year to keep cash freed up while we're building a house. But, last summer I shopped hard for tractors in the 50 hp range. A friend that has a haying business told me he really liked the Kioti. It ran/worked well and used half the fuel of his John Deere. He traded it for another JD because he can get parts for the JD in 30 minutes, but the Kioti could take up to two weeks. I suspect the LS could have the same issue. Talked to several that have/had Mahindra. I got very mixed reviews. They either, like Dennis, really liked it or they hated it and had many problems. In the under 50 hp tractors, Kubota is a solid tractor, but the dealer wanted $1K to add a rear remote. Also, if you plan to finance with the dealer, Kubota's financing came with fees that were much higher than John Deere. Not a lot of depth, but I hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
