New LS Sub-Compact

[JackyJ]

Looks nice! If it had come out this time last year, I'd be taking a very hard look at it as I have an L.S. dealer whom I like just two miles from my house. (They're my source for chainsaws and related supplies.) I've got 5 acres with a lot of trails and narrow sections where the Kubota BX was a better fit, so that's what I went with, even though that dealer is 40 miles away. But the extra lift capacity + position control of this new L.S. would definitely be appreciated. Only thing I'd really like to see is a narrower mower deck--60" is just too wide for some of the maneuvering I have to do.

Loader?

Loader?

I'm assuming that's with the loader. They typically don't sell anything other than small riding lawn mowers without a loader.

I just emailed him back to confirm that.

While you are emailing... Ask him if that front bucket is SSQA. It looked like it to me in the photo. If so is it standard or an option?

It is SSQA, saw it in the video.

That alone would be a good reason to select one of these, and with position control on the other end being another. Kubota is going to have to step up.

Not to mention that silly single hydro pedal Kubota seems wedded to.

Dealer emailed back:
He said that's with the "free" loader discount.

Isn't marketing grand!:laughing:
