My son bought at RCO about three years ago. Bought an LS U5030 and a remanufactured Yanmar. Both tractors have run flawless. Stewart at RCO has been great, he has checked up on the LS, and has gone out of his way to accommodate our schedule when picking up and delivering and doing the 50hr service. There was a recall on a fuel tank he ordered and held onto for me until the 50hr service to install it, the LS engineers from LS in S. Korea have been at RCO and Stewart has been real nice to spend time on the phone answering any questions about LS and what's going on and what they know. Bottom line is RCO has a direct line into LS in S. Korea, and will work to make you happy with your tractor. He was frank to steer me away from issues too, and give me insight into what the engineers had say while they visited RCO. RCO doesn't sell the remanufactured Yanmar's anymore part of their agreement in selling new Yanmars, but they did work with Yanmar so they can continue to support and service the units they did sell, we were not abandoned by RCO, they cut a deal that benefited all parties. If you want a real nice tractor at a great price you couldn't do better than an LS. After you do some research about LS, S. Korea manufacturing, and modern assembly process, Mitsubishi diesel engines, you might find you have one of the highest quality, best assembled, modern designed tractors for way less then the other guy. If you are looking for a pedigree maybe go a different color, if you can make your own evaluation of what you are looking at when you get up next to an LS you will talking to Stewart.
