LS tractors?

[roman]

I notice LS has roots in Hyundai and then bought by LG. Are they dependable and well built?

Thanks, Roman

Quite a few members here have them. Some have had loader link arms bending, others minor electrical problems but I haven't read of any outright complaints. I recently bought an XR3037HC and like it so far but I only have about 32 hours on it so can't give a good review yet. I did read up on LS before I bought and found they build tractors for several brands.

My son in law just bought a 4046 with loader. Only a few hours maybe 20 but it seems to be a great tractor. We'll have to see how it holds up.

Had my R4047 about a year now and used it for some grading, bushhogging, and loader work and it's been great!

They have their own sub-forum here....lots of owners posting, and not many complaints/problems. LS seems to handle the few problems quickly, and has been responsive in making changes to address them. I had an R4047H and it was perfect in the 205 hours I put on it.

I have a few small issues with my 4046 but I still love it. I'm taking it to the dealer this coming Saturday to have everything looked at and taken care of under warranty. I have just under 50 hours on it right now.

I've got a New Holland Boomer 50 which badge engineered LS R4047 and I've got nothing but good to say thus far. We spent 14 solid hours saturday resculping my yard for drainage and sod and it never so much as hickuped while being run very hard.
