I have to agree with all you guys and state this guy is over the top on this one. I have been looking at the Montana tractors and may go that way when I need a bigger unit. I have been impressed with the lack of complaints about both the Montana and the Mahindra. They are a lot less money than the Massey Ferguson (I have the GC2310), Kubota or John Deere.
I wanted to know who was making the Montana and found this interesting:
From Wikipedia:
LG Tractors was a division of LG Cable. The group of companies were formerly known as GoldStar Cable.
The tractor division began in 1975 as a part of Hyundai in cooperation with Yanmar of Japan. See GoldStar for more history.
LG had tie-ups with Mitsubishi and Fiat/New Holland, (CNH Global), and sold tractors under the LG, LG-Fiat and LG-New Holland brands.
They also built tractors for sale by LG Montana, TAFE, LongAgri and Farmtrac in North America.
In 2005, LG Cable split off from LG and became LS Cable. The tractor division became LS Tractors.
LS Tractors is an engineering company. It is a division of LS Cable in South Korea. The group was originally part of the LG conglomeration, and was known as LG Tractors and LG Cable, respectively.
LS is associated with Mitsubishi tractors of Japan for technology, and many tractors are based on Mitsubishi designs, as well as use Mitsubishi engines. LS also imports New Holland Ag tractors to resell as LS-New Holland. (They originally had agreements with Fiat, which purchased New Holland. New Holland is a division of CNH Global).
LS currently builds tractors for Farmtrac, a division of Escorts Agri of India, for sale in North America; for Montana Tractors for sale in North America; and as of 2005, for Mahindra of India, and TAFE Tractors of India also for sale in North America.
The history of LS Tractors goes back to 1975 as a division of Hyundai, and began with cooperation with Yanmar or Japan. In 1983, the former GoldStar Cable Company acquired the company and renamed it GoldStar tractors. The company names were changed to LG in 1995.
Tractors have been sold under GoldStar, Fiat-GoldStar, LG, LG-Fiat, LG-New Holland, LS and LS-New Holland names in South Korea. In North America, they have been sold as LG Montana, Montana, Mahindra, Farmtrac LandTrac, LongAgri LandTrac, McCormick Tractors and Landini.
