You inferred in your first post that they were equally quality because everything besides price was the same.
Untrue. My first post talked about basic performance specs, nothing more.
From there on we've listed the higher quality components. You refuse to believe they are, and with a still minuscule list. You demand that we go out and do research on the superior components, give you a list and then it's got to have the inferior components as well. You just keep trying to inch your way away. Why don't you show us these comparable components on your LS? Using EVERYTHING that I, Arlen, and Eagle have stated prove to us where all these features are within your LS.
Really? You're going to try changing history now? You started out with the whole "superior engineering" comments, then shifted to "better ergonomics", then jumped on to Arlen and Eagle's "higher quality" components comments.
Regardless, if you're the one claiming better engineering, or higher quality, it's up to you to show what the difference is. I didn't say LS, or Kioti, were better quality, or equal quality. I just said I haven't seen where anybody can PROVE that Deere or Kioti are using better parts, or better engineering, as an absolute (meaning, more than just one a little detail here or there).
Also I looked on NH's website and saw nothing about planetary drives. Show us where LS (not NH) has them, and just because NH has them, they could manufacture them differently, so I want to see literature where LS has them. And don't try and tell me to do it, your turn Bart.
First off, like learning to use the "quote" function when addressing me (I'm at least being decent enough to address you directly), you may want to brush up those internet search skills. NH has inboard planetary drives listed below, and you can find the same on the Case/IH site. Oh, it's also possible to find the parts manuals showing that they're all the same.

Messick's has a parts diagram showing the Farmall 50b and NH Boomer 50 rear axle assemblies (you'll have to close the popup, then select rear axle assembly to see the diagram).
(FARMALL 50B) - COMPACT TRACTOR (11/11-)
(BOOMER 50) - COMPACT TRACTOR (9/10-)
You can then go to the link below for LS parts, scroll down to about page 90, and you'll see the same diagram of the LS setup....same as the NH, and Farmall 50b units.
