Hello,
I have been reading this forum for a couple of months. Although I am not ready to buy a tractor just yet I have been looking and learning so when I am ready I will know what I need/want and roughly what it should cost. I have learned a lot from the TBN forums. Thanks to each of you for the info you provide.
I was originally in the market for an old MF (135, 240, etc.) and that option is still there. I had figured a new tractor was out because of the price but then I came to this forum out of curiosity because I pass an LS dealership everyday going to work. What I have since found is that the J series might be doable price-wise. And I think the J series would handle the jobs I would use it for. Every time I would see the sign for the local LS dealership I would wonder why anyone would buy an unknown like LS when there are Kubota, Kioti, and John Deere dealerships around. I have since become educated on the history of LS and LS quality and value. The good news too is that I know the dealer and know that he is a good guy. The dealership was handed down to him from his dad so it is established. He has been selling LS from the beginning of LS branded tractors.
Below is a link to a LS Mtron pdf some of you might find interesting. I came across it searching for information on the J2025H that is rumored. This pdf does contain an XJ25 (24.4 hp). It looks the same as the other J's just with a different HP. Obviously this pdf was not meant for the US market but interesting anyway.
