New LS Cab Tractors

[daugen]

Nice cab. Change a few vinyl colors and it could come out of a JD or a Kubota.

Now I know this is seriously silly, but I think that blue color is very attractive. A little bright but you'll always know where your tractor is...

I just went shopping with my wife for a new car for her. What an ordeal. Honey, look at the nice diesel Passat, 40+mpg and surprisingly good acceleration.
No? Ok. A nice new Lexus hybrid, 40mpg, comfort plus super mileage. No? Ok. Groan. There go my two best shots.
So since her Dad was a GM exec and we get a good discount on GM products, back to the Cadillac showroom. Right in the middle is a new XTS, the new larger sedan
with the same engine as our CTS. She took one look at it, loved the snazzy red paint, and said I want that one. Groan. 18mpg if I'm lucky. But it actually cost less than our CTS
and by the time we were done, six grand had disappeared. I would never buy a big GM car, they simply depreciate too much, too much ownership cost. But their lease was very reasonable.
The point of all this is color is a very interesting motivator to us all. Though all of us are smart enough that when we buy, color is way down on the criteria.

Is that shiny blue paint the same as New Holland? Ford Blue seems a little quieter.
Sorry to go astray here, just think your tractors are very handsome.

wow, a triple post, that's new...MilestoneTim, you can get rid of the duplicates by editing and then clicking on several delete buttons.
It's not you, seems to be a lot of double posting going on, but you've scored the hat trick.

Here are some photos of the new XR4046C (gear drive) that was at the Louisville Farm Show. This is what we've been waiting for!

Mostly better specs, but I think LS needs to rethink their FEL as far as clearance with the bucket in full dump....it's way below the competition, and the only thing I've almost had issues with. I could barely fill a 30cu yd rolloff dumpster with my R4047H because of low clearance in dump position, and the loader arms were nearly hitting the top of the sides all the time while I was filling the dumpster.

Wow! Thanks for the pictures Milestone Tim! That is an awesome layout. I'm really likening the thought LS put into the new style. I was pretty bummed that I knew nothing of ls when I was shopping. I got a call to weld on fertilizer buggy out of town and passed dealer's lot getting to the field. I finished a 10pm and went right to the lot to check out those bright blue tractors. They are very impressive. I use small tractors on my farm because I'm weird or I might be brilliant. I really like those bright blue tractors- they match my welder

My Kioti dealer picked up LS a couple years ago when Landini switched from LS to Daedong (they didn't see the point of having two identical tractors in different colors). He's since told me that his preference is starting to lean towards LS over Kioti, and they do VERY well selling Kioti. I LOVE the layout of the cab in those pics. Very nice, I can see my dealers point.

Just left the NC factory today and saw the new models w/ t4 engines not impressed w/ the shibarus way to much on the electronics side for my taste.

Gawd! The new front-end design is butt-ugly!
