870h Review
Model Year: 2008
So far so good! The tractor has excellent performance in power, reliability and features. Although our friends criticized us about our tractor selection, LS N47 has proved its value since the first working hour. After 3 years of operation, we never faced any problem regarding engine, oil leakages, oil consumptions or any kind of suspicious noise. The construction is robust, the Mitsubishi engine is truly a diamond,strong 3-point linkages, the peripheral systems work properly (especially the electro-hydraulic PTO engagement switch which currently I think it is the most fragile system in southern Europe because of dust, extreme heat, etc.) and generally the tractor is impressively powerful (it feels more powerful than 47HP!). We mainly use the tractor in our peach orchards and in most of the hours PTO is engaged.Although the top speed is 28Km/h and we would like it higher (about 40Km/h). I recommend the LS tractors to all farmers that search for reliable,low-cost tractor that has the features/facilities of larger and more expensive manufacturers.
Pros: Power, reliability, features, PTO speeds,driver space.
Cons: Top speed, noise of the reducers.
