We own 2,500 acres and we run all deere equipment. The reason we are so faithful to one color is the reasoning of service/parts, and most importantly it comes down to trading and upgrading equipment being an advantage especially if a person needs the deere financing aspect. Dealerships around here simply would not trade a different color nor put it on their lots to sell. When we own 4 million in equipment alone it just makes sense for us larger scale farmers to stick to only one brand, and we see it with other guys around the midwest here as well. With you being small scale farmer I think you're choice by finding something affordable makes absolute sense. At the end of the day no matter what color the paint is, they all get things done and thats all that matters.
Thank for watching and your comment. I understand your situation and truly appreciate it. Like you just said, my needs are on a MUCH smaller scale. So you are 100% correct for me and many that just have a small farm some of this equipment is just to expensive so we have to look for something that will work for our needs. That is what we base our reviews and opinions around. Allot on RU-vid about large tractors and compact tractors but not as much in the range that we needed nor on this size of the LS I have. Thanks again we truly appreciate your comments
I am going to take a serious look at the LS MT7101CSPS. The combination of 100hp, Semi-power shift transmission with a loader for around $70,000 is intriguing. Keep your videos coming.
I unfortunately did not look at a TYM. The dealer that sold TYM in my area did not have one on his lot. I wish I could have looked at one only for comparison. My LS has been a good tractor. At the same time I would have liked to see the TYM just because I would have been more informed of the TYM brand. My very limited knowledge of TYM is they seem to be a good option. I still would like to learn more about TYM.
Sounds good. I couldn’t remember and did not want to leave the impression that I was talking about any other model because my comparison was only for the MT 573. That is good to know. I looked at the MT 4 68 it is a nice tractor. I would love to have one just to see the difference in size and use. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
There is one thing that I just do not like about the LS tractors. It is rather petty but I just do not like that shade of blue. That said, I really didn’t care that much for the orange when I bought my Kubota L2501. It has however either grown on me or I have gotten used to it. Perhaps both. I have 3 friends that have the New Holland 75 horse tractor which you speak of. I even did an interview and featured one in one of my videos. They are nice tractors. With the LS tractors, you get a tremendous amount of bang for the buck. In most cases, a lot less bucks than the more popular brands. I am in talks with a local LS dealer and I think we may have something exciting in the works coming on my channel.
We are Less than 40 acres farm. I have a 54hp tractor and it has worked VERY well for me but I would run out of hp every once in a while. I used to do custom hay baling and Had a tractor with plenty of hp but after I got out of custom baling and sold my equipment. I bought my 54 hp Kubota. It has been great tractor but because of what I am doing to our place it just can not handle it. Just to light. So we looked at something that will handle all of our needs all the way around. The LS has been a great fit for us. Kioti has a new RX7040 coming out (I have not seen it) but you might look at it. Thanks again for your comment and for watching.
@@randalllawkin I got 75 acres and have the same tractor. Seems great for this size of acreage as well but I’m just ending my first season of farming ever.
Im selling my LS 6168 soon and going to NH. It's had a lot of issues and I can tell more are on their way. Cost to repair is about 60-100% more in parts if your tractor is like mine doesnt have a NH counterpart. Also shipping takes forever. Mine has broken down every year in the spring and taken 2 months to get repaired each time. Every spec on LS is overrated. The workmaster series from NH is only a couple thousand more for cash price and you will pay much less down the road in repairs, while getting most of the features as LS, but also a buddy seat and sunroof.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you have much better luck with NH. It is NOT good to hear that you had problems but it is good to hear from real LS owners (good or bad) it is only fair. I hope your problems is not a testimony to all LS tractors. I know nothing about the older LS tractors but I wish you had not had the experience with yours that you are saying. I wish you the best. Thanks
Yes they do but only the Sub compact and Compact. I know they make some of the Boomer line. Not sure about the smaller Work Waster. LS does not make the larger utility tractors. Thanks I appreciate it
Oil change is important 5000 miles divided by let’s say 50mph average comes out to 100 hours. So it’s just food for thought most people go 250-350ish hours on a tractor. That’s 1.5 to 2.5 longer than your diesel truck. Your tractor it’s being run hard in dusty conditions and dirty equipment.
