South Korea. LS is part of the LS Group which was spun off of the LG Group. Both are controlled by the Koo family. The crazy thing is that the LG Group had nearly as much revenue as John Deere did worldwide last year....they huge, but people don't realize it.

$30 billion worldwide sales! In anyone's book that's a big outfit. They assemble the tractors in N. Carolina, Louisiana and California and distribute from those locations. Not sure if there are any US made parts put on in the process. A tour of their facilities would be interesting to me, the wife would be deadly bored by it all.

I bought my Boomer 30 a year and a half ago. For what I bought it for--working wildlife food plots, it's been pretty good. I got it with loader, one rear remote, telescoping stabilizers, and extending 3 pt arms for around $20k.
It does do good with the box blade. With the 3000lb (plus loader) and 4 wd it's able to move dirt and gravel.
After using it, I found the loader is weaker than I had hoped. And now that I have more than doubled my land and I am now in the market for a brush hog, I think the 22 pto hp is going to be a lot less than I would like.
I didn't get the 40/50 because it wouldn't fit in my garage and I didn't want it outside without a cab. I didn't know the 35 existed.
I didn't look at LS because, well I couldn't find a dealer in my state.
Knowing what I know now, If I bought the boomer again I would get the boomer 35 not the 30 for the 38 engine hp instead of 28.
I don't regret my decision at the time, and I'm definitely glad I went two sizes bigger than I originally started looking at, but I needed to go at least one more. I guess I'll just have to pick up a bigger one eventually.

same tractor as my McCormick CT28. mine has no problem with a 6ft tiller/box blade/ brush hog. The McCormick comes with a different loader though with 2200# lift capacity. Main reason I chose it because it had the highest lift capacity that would fit in the places I needed it to.

My boomer 30 does handle a 60" tiller like it isn't there. Do you have any problems powering the 6' (72") brush hog?
