LS vs. Mahindra

[Gary Fowler]

I have a dealer about 30 miles away and will just buy from him when I need them. So far I have had but 2 weeks in which to use it which was right after I got it in Oct. Been out of the country till Christmas and used it just a little moving some tree piles and driving some fence post. I may have put .5 hours on the engine since most of my work was just above idle, the hours work of the tach so they dont add up very fast. I still havent got to but about half way to the 50 hour break in point.

Here it is, before it got dirty.

I like where they put the hydraulic loader control = more room for access.
Headlights/Hood are different and you get a neat shift knob.
Very nice:thumbsup:
What part of the country do you live in?

Gary,
My closest LS dealer is 60 miles. I've no problem with that - I'm more concerned that LS will be in the states for next 20 years.

I see you've got a 4220, I am looking at the Yanmar's, as well.

Looks like a lot of tractor for $17.1K! (Did I read you right?) The only on I see online is in Maine. Not much info on it, so far. Please tell me what is the weight? Displacement? 41 Hp?

Thanks,
Alan

Great conversation...I'm new to the forum and looking strongly at LS, definitly the most features for the money. I've heard rumors of several new LS models coming out but haven't seen any until Dirt Pile came up with his. Does anyone else have any info on these new models?

 

[Putter]

Yeah I got the same thing from my dealer.
I can sell you a i3040 but the new model will be a R3039.

WHAT

Don't we have enough model numbers??

And when will LS update the site with new models??

I'm in Central California, the weight is@3570 lbs and 2505 cc. Yes $17,100.... I thought it was a decent price, after looking at all the other models and trying to compare, seemed to me like everyones been saying...more bang for your buck. The shift lever has a push button, no clutching needed, same with the for-rev just flick the lever on the steering column, no clutching.

 

[Dirt pile]

Sorry , yes 40 hp. I took a few pics of some BIG rigs, I'll share...the row of green is from an auction yard held the Friday after the show, the rest are from the Expo. Talk about a kid in a candy store...

Dirt Pile:

Thanks for info. 2505 cc = 152.9 C. inch.

Can someone help me with this? The LS website LS Tractor USA

specifies the R-4010 as 152.9 cu. inch @ 41/35 Hp (has a S4QL-D Mitsubishi).
and
specifies the R-4020 as 152.9 cu. inch @ 47/41 Hp (it has a S4QL Mitsubishi).


My question (take it easy. remember, I run a '57 Ford 600) is: what's up with the "D"? And, do you agree with these Hp numbers, is it really 6 Hp difference??
