I own an LS 5030C and it makes money for me daily. It is just the right size for Snow Clearing, Roto Tilling, Landscape scraper work and yard cleanup jobs. The cab is tight and can travel at 30KMS per hour to get from job to job. A lot of Utility tractors are manufactured in S Korea. McormicK,Farmall, New Holland and most John Deere.They all come out of a huge Tractor plant in S Korea. So do not let people tell you JD, NH are better when they all come from the same factory. LS is $8,000.00 cheaper than John Deere. The Green paint gets expensive.
