I did it G3033H

[bfisherman11]

Just test drove and bought a G3033H with a loader. I thought I got a good deal. $17,500 plus $1500 trade for my 9n ($16,000 out the door). He threw in loaded tires. Also free delivery. I am only 25 miles away so I like that. Also said if it needs service for warranty he will just come get it. Can't ask for better in my mind.

Pssst.. you are supposed to post pictures here on TBN of all new tractor purchases... It is an "unwritten" forum rule..

Congratulations on your new tractor (as soon as we see it) A big step up from a 9N for sure.

When it gets delivered I will be sure to post up. My wife has a pic of me doing the test drive. I will post that.

I was as impressed with this LS as any. It had every feature I wanted plus a couple more.

This is my first attempt at adding a pic.... This was a demo tractor. It had a shuttle shift but I bought an HST.

Nice tractor! LS makes an awful nice tractor for the money. I own a kubota and love it but I would definitely consider LS if I ever go tractor shopping again.

Bill, Nice machine. Wish I had a LS dealer around here.

Congrats on the new machine. Glad it all worked out for you :thumbsup:

The fit and finish was very good and that hood is metal. I liked that. Not sure who now I read about but one tractor I read about a guy said had a plastic hood.

Congrats!
Yeah, the hood is metal, but the front part with the lights and grill are plastic. I just had to epoxy mine. I was moving some brush and a limb I didn't see was sticking up and went right through my "brush guard" and busted the plastic front piece. Nothing a little epoxy couldn't resolve. I am going to (probably with hose clamps) afix some expanded steel to my brush guard. I'll put it on in 2 pieces so I can still lower it.

Speaking of lowering the brush guard, after you service your tractor, it's a reall REALLY good idea to put it back up before you try to use the loader. I guess I either didn't hear it come down when I lifted the loader, but couldn't figure out why the loader wouldn't go down all the way to scoop up some gravel. I noticed that my brush guard was still down and now much farther forward than it started out being (another issue I'll have to remedy soon). So be careful and make sure the pins snap back in place if you've had it down.

You're going to love your new tractor. LS makes a fine machine.

Kjonfc, Sorry but I smiled when I imagined you lowering the loader and wondering why it would not go down. Ha, one of those UGH moments. I love my 9N and it has given me a couple of those. I told my wife I was worried about having a new tractor because I never worried about plowing into some brush or a tree with my Ford tank. Now I have shiny paint that might get scratched. Ha

Nice tractor! LS makes an awful nice tractor for the money. I own a kubota and love it but I would definitely consider LS if I ever go tractor shopping again.

I have one of each and both are fine tractors. The B26 is my go to tractor for most of my work since it has the back hoe, but the LS has the cab with heat and AC + radio. Unfortunately I don't need to use it much and as for the radio, I rarely use it as I prefer to hear the sounds of the tractor and/or implement just in case something goes wrong.

To the OP: Congrates on getting yourself a fine tractor. That model is very nimble for those close encounters.
