Wondering if this is a LS made tractor?

Sure does look like an LS

My understanding is that if it says Boomer, it's actually an LS.

LS has no CVT tractor that I'm aware of.

Any hydrostatic transmision would be considered a CVT.

I was told by my NH service manager that the Boomer CVT models are built by Shibaura and to avoid them like the plague.

There is a world of difference between the two.

Definitely not LS. It's the NH/Shibaura build, however it might be a further breakaway from Shibaura, because the engine is from FPT Industrial (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) and Fiat is now the parent company of C-NH.

As stated in the link I posted above.

The five basic principles that can be used in the design of continuously variable transmissions (CVT) for motor vehicles are examined and compared. These include: hydrostatic, traction drive (V-belt and rolling contact), overrunning clutch, electric, and multispeed gearbox with slipping clutch. Appendix A discusses commercially available CVTs suitable for motor vehicles, and Appendix B describes research and development programs for CVTs.
