R3039H Discontinued?

[TractShackTimmons]

The R3039H is being replaced by the XR3037H. Really its only a 1.5hp less than the 3039. 24K is pretty high with what i sell mine for. The XR series has a ton of diff tractor models. You have an XR3032, XR3037, XR4040, and XR4046. You can get them in a HST or gear drive and also get a cab on them all except the XR3032.

I was ready to buy a R4041H or R4049H, but I can not find any in the midwest. I would consider a XR4040H or XR4046 but the cost increase has me looking at orange.

Here is an ad for a XR4040H from my local dealer:

LS XR4040H Tractor W/ Loader

That seems like a lot of tractor for 22910 considering the Tier 4 price increase and all.

Friends,

I am a TYM and LS dealer in Oklahoma City. Indeed the R3039's are no more. I just received an email today (3/26/14) that there are no more of these units at the warehouse. They are replaced by the XR3037 tier 4 model. Basically the R and U models have been replaced by the XR and XU models, X is simply LS's designation for tier 4. On the XR models the horse power ratings have dropped slightly and on the XU models horse power has gone up considerable. Tier 3 U models included a 47 and 55hp. The tier 4 XU models are 55 and 65hp. For the rest of 2014 there may be a few tier 3 tractor around at dealers are thought the country but I would imagine that by June they will all be gone. Different manufactures have taken different strategies with regards to their introduction of tier 4 units. LS has opted to introduce their fastest selling units first in tier 4. This is because manufacturers are allowed to continue to import tier 3 models based off a percentage of tier 4 imports (I do not know the percentage). LS wanted to continue to offer the economy G series and the premium P series as tier 3 as long as possible. Do no quote me on this but I believe we will be able to sell some tier 3 models into 2015 but I believe that by 2016 all tractors above 25hp will be tier 4.

We have sold about a dozen tier 4 units since they have been introduced. The new tier 4 engines LS uses are actually stronger and more durable engines than their tier 3 cousins. The new tier 4 units are more fuel efficient, quieter, and have a much better oiling system. This should lead to a longer life expectancy for these engines. From looking at the retail pricing aspect of tier 4 you can expect to spend about $1000 to $2000 more on current tier 4 models over the tier 3 model. I have not seen pricing for the larger tractors, P series as of yet.

Hope this info helps,

Yes, thanks for the update.

Now I need to decide if I should grab one of the last ones, or wait for an XR series tractor knowing I will have to deal with DPF regen..

I have the XR4046Hc and I haven't noticed any difference on the tier 4, I previously owned a kubota grand L 3430 and was a bit smaller tractor and lighter. I needed the weight and a little more power. I have a little over 300 hours on mine now and not a lick of trouble with the emissions. it burns clean and yes it does burn off the carbon build up but I don't think it affects the economy much at all. I haven't seen a bit of soot or even a wiff of diesel smell so I think that it is a nice, clean powerful engine. If it were giving me any trouble I wouldn't be afraid to vent my gripes.

Yes, thanks for the update.

I'm curious, what is the basis for labeling the tier 4 engines as more powerful? For example, the replacements for the R4041/47 -XR4040/46 are smaller and lesser rated powerplants than the Mitsubishi engine that were in those tier 3 models.

In the first paragraph He did say the XR series is less powerful. It's only the XU series that gained a little HP.

Ah ok, I see that ... I thought he was speaking generally about the new engines.
