I have a McCormick ct28 that is built by LS and it has been a good little tractor. McCormick, LS, New Holland, and Case dealers can get you parts. Recently I have been looking to upgrade and I have come away impressed the most by the Kioti DK series tractors. They are built like a tank and the fit and finish is excellent, a step above my current tractor at a price that is not John Deere or Kubota crazy. The fenders and platform don't even flex when I step up like on my current tractor. They are exceptionally quite also. I think my next tractor is going to be a Kioti dk50se hst cab/ McCormick X10.50 hst cab (same tractor), but I still have a few more brands to look at first. I am not trying to bash LS, just an observation now that I am tractor shopping again for the second time in 2 years because I made the classic mistake of not buying enough tractor the first time around. If I had sprung for the CT47 (R4047) at the time I would not be shopping right now.
