I looked at Mahindra, Kubota, and LS. We bought and LS. I recommend finding the HP/Size your are going to need, and go sit in, and on some machines, if one dealer does not have one, go to another and window shop. I think You will find out the LS line is by far the best bang for the BUCK. Honestly My GF told me to look on line at other options I was sold on Mahindra, After I looked at an LS, and READ HERE about them... I was SOLD. We shall have ours at the end of the month. XR 4145HC Price them out line for line, look at the fit and finish, and QUALITY. You will find blue in your blood
