New Tractor
Model Year: 2013

This is my 3rd tractor. It is too new to review. I will use it to mow and bush hog about 9 acres. I had a 1947 Ford 2N and then a 1978 John Deere 850. I got this LS tractor because I needed one with easier access because I have braces on both legs. This tractor was the easiest to get on for the money. More later after this upcoming mowing season.

Pros: Easy access.
Cons: Seat is hard.

Tractor Review
Model Year: 2012

Until I purchased my tractor, I have never heard of the LS series tractors. Now I am really glad that I purchased one because it is easy starting in cold weather, no block heater needed. This tractor has excellent power. Enough power a person can do just about any job with it. Any one looking to purchase a tractor it would to their benefit to consider purchasing an LS series tractor

Pros: Everything I have found is a pro.
Cons: So far nothing I have found yet.

Good Tractor
Model Year: 2013

This is a good tractor I have been working it pretty hard and even though they say it has the strongest lifting in it class, l don't find that to be true can't lift a whole bucket of dirt. And they make it nice and wide for the operator but than put a shifter handel right in the way but so far I do really like the performance oh and with in the first week I had already broken the plastic hood.

Pros: Strong eng. and tranny.
Cons: Hydraulics are weak. Plastic hood shifting lever need to be moved or bent.

LS Tractor
Model Year: 2014

So far with 25 hours, machine is very reliable. It's very maneuverable. Has adequate power for my needs.

Pros: Compact, very maneuverable.
Cons: 3 cylinder engine is rough. Not as smooth as 4 cylinder.

LS Tractor Is The Worst Tractor We Have Ever Owned
Model Year: 2013

It has poor power for 38 horsepower. The loader breaks all the time. I replaced three pistons and two welds broke, one failed the replacement linking in less than a year. I replaced all the bolts in the bucket several times. It has poor metal. The loader bounces and throws trees out of the bucket. The tractor and bucket are slow to operate. The tractor has way too much bounce. The power take-off switch broke within 100 hours of use. All stabilizers on the power-take off lift have been replaced after breaking off. If you are looking for a tractor to fix, this is the one for you. The one good feature is it looks pretty!

Pros: Looks pretty
Cons: Worst tractor on the market

Best Tractor For The Money!
Model Year: 2014

I have owned mine for a while and worked it hard by moving trees, digging ditches, bush hogging thick brush and woods, picking up trucks, and moving them. So yes, it is very strong, and it always starts even in cold. I can pick up a full load of wet sand and it struggles but will lift it. I was worried I had overloaded it but it just kept on going. I am hard on it but it's a tractor. not a showroom piece. I'm very happy, I just wish the seats were better and the cab area wider. I am a big guy so it is kind of tight when I get in the seat but it is nothing to stop me from buying another.

Pros: Very dependable
Cons: Comfort is an issue

LS 3038
Model Year: 2013

I have had my tractor for about 2 years. I use it for moving dirt, removing trees, and removing fences and fence posts. I have no complaints from lifting capacity to the horsepower or maintenance on it. There was a considerable price difference between comparable John Deere, Kubota, or New Holland tractors. It is one of the best investments I ever made in machinery.

Pros: Biggest pro is the cost
Cons: I have not found a con with it yet
