LS owner from MS

Hi all,

I am from a small town in South Mississippi, Columbia, it is located in Marion County. I own five acres that I have seven bee hives, and a shed that I keep my tractor under. When I bought the property twelve years ago, I found out very quickly that I was going to lose control of the place. I was optimistic and bought a Stihl Brushcutter. This was fun for about a month, and I knew that I needed a tractor. I shopped and found out that the size tractor that I thought I needed was the most expensive (pound for pound). I ended up getting a Yanmar YM2500 with a four foot King Kutter and a box blade. I got a lot done with that little tractor over the years, and had to do very few repairs. There were times that I wished that I had bought a newer, bigger tractor with a loader and four wheel drive. I wanted power steering and orange paint, or green. I looked back and thought, I could have had a new tractor paid off by now. Over time I watched the tractors change and the colors were all different but it seemed they were all the same under the hood. Not much changed in my mind about what I wanted though. I kept up with the models and prices and really thought that I would end up with a Mahindra. They seemed to have the models with the power and weight, lift capacities, and all the little extras that I liked. Every time I priced one of the orange or green tractors with every that came standard, I was blown away. In 2012, I started looking at the LS tractors. I decided that the price was good and that I would work on upgrading. I got new tractor fever. I was mowing on the Yanmar back in the spring when I decided to take some pictures and place an ad on CL on a Saturday evening. After a few potential scams, I sold the tractor and implements the following Monday to a local man for 500 dollars less than I paid for it in 2002. I saved a little more money and bought an LS XR4040 and a Bushhog BH15 in blue. I am very happy with my purchase and hope to get many years of service from my tractor.

I recently bought an LS g3033h. I started out thinking I Wanted A Kubota, but the price was too high and the dealer wouldn'budge. next a Kioti, loved it but dealer was 75 miles away and I don't have any way to transport it, they wanted100 bucks to pick it up for servicing.
Finally looked at an LS. so impressed with the toughness and the maneuverability of this tractor, and the value for the price was unbeatable by the other brands I test drove. my only complaint is the seat,which is ok, but not great. the service dept seems to be on the customers side so far,and no transportation charge as long as it is still on 5 year warranty
I expect the LS brand to grow as more people test it against New holland, mahindra,etc. more bang for the buck.
