So here's something else interesting...

According to the NH site, they now have a "Workmaster 35 & 40" which look to be the G3033 & G3038 (same specs)... I looked at the larger "Workmaster" series tractors (45,55,65,75) and for now, they appear to still be different than the new LS "K" series. The "K" has slightly different specs and weighs around 500 lbs more.

Yes the 35 and 40 are LS made, that came up sometime last week I think could have been two weeks ago.

Well is there a tier 4 Mitsubishi?

Not that I know of. The only ones that will run the mitsu is the J series, G series, and K series. All the others are going with the p/s diesel.

Is it the same as the NH WorkMaster series?

also, next time you talk to a rep, can you mention to them that some customers would like to see a higher HP HST unit with more lift capacity & height. the day they have one available, I will be trading mine in.

Its built basically the same. CNH and LS to me seems like they are sharing information. The Workmaster 35 and 40 are basically G series LS tractors. As far as I know the biggest hp they will offer a HST is on the XR4046 which is 46hp. It would be nice if they would have a bigger model tho. I have a lot of customers that stop in wanting a U series size tractor with a HST.

On the new site it gives as lot of information about LS which I am glad they did. The old site was plain and didn't give enough information. Plus they gave a ballpark figure on the amount of tractors LS has sold in the US. Now that is not including NH and Case IH. So they have a pile of tractors out there. Plus remember you have the older McCormick and Montana Compacts also. The site does need more work but at least it shows the new models and its a better looking site.

That's too bad ... Mahindra has the 5010/6010 ... 49 & 59 HP hydros, with 2900 lb lift & 5300 lb breakout, up to 115" high. That 6010 is an attractive tractor with a cab.

Massey's 1652 looks good too.

if I ever go with a cab version in the future, I may have to go red to get that. Shoot, if I could have gotten the U 5020 or 5030 in a hydro, that's probably what I would own right now.

Plus they were talking about putting on the electronic 3pt hitch control on them also. Im so happy the finally updated the site. Still needs some work on pictures and specs but its a lot better than it was before.

LS corporate really ticks me off. The electronic 3pt control is listed in my owners manual and the punch outs for the switches are on my fenders. But when I tried to order it for my tractor they said it wasn't available. There is also an electronic draft control that was part of the package, again not available. And oh by the way all the indicator lights for these options are on my dash. Also in the owners manual is a Buddy Seat with part number that they won't sell either. The holes to mount the seat are already on my tractor.

It's beyond aggravating to know they make these things, full descriptions are in the owners manual, but won't make them available to current customers. Really like the tractor but this is ridiculous!

The front mount snowblower for my R3039H got my attention. :drool: I'd like to see more about the mount. Specifically, can it coexist with the loader.

I shot a short video for a local LS dealer and that blower looked nice. If you are interested in seeing it on your tractor it's the third segment of video, the first two are new tractors.

Pretty nice front-mount blower!

Somebody needs to tell John Paige, it's just "RPM", not "RPMs".....that would be Revolutions Per Minutes....pretty slow!

Sheesh....somebody needs to tell LS to hire me as their proofreader. The page on the K5055's LL5105 loader specs it with a "72" Busket".

Same here. Heck, even if I could have gotten one of those models with a hydraulic shuttle, I'd probably have bought one. I really liked the U5020 and 5030 except for the synchro shuttle.
