Georgia Swamp, before you go look at the LS, do some research on the extras that are included on it that are not on the other tractors. For example, extendable lower lift arms, rear hydraulic remotes, cruise control, and (maybe) telescopic stabilizers, deck mat, mirrors, cruise control, etc.
Figure out what all those options will cost in the other tractors. I can tell you that the extendable lower lift arms, rear hydraulics, cruise control, telescopic stabilizers, mirrors and cruise control are things I would not want to be without. Unfortunately, they are things that a first-time tractor buyer might not think of (or even be aware of) until the purchase is already made.

I talked to my LS dealer on the phone today to make sure I had the model and price right. I was wrong the xg 3037h is 21,695 and the xr 3037h is 24,895. On the 35 vs 40 kioti the price difference is $1400.00. I will say the box blade and rotary mower that the kioti dealer sales is not heavy duty like the JD and Kubota.

Well I ended up getting a ck3510h with grapple, fl and 6' box blade for 20,500 out the door. That includes the dealer installing the rear hyd remote for the grapple. Thanks for all the info. I will try to post pics sat when I go pick it up.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I'm looking at the ck3510h as well. Interested to see how it works out for you.

Well I picked it up sat. drove it off the trailer picked up some tin with the grapple and was driving it to the field. The engine stumbled and the check engine light came on. If you turn the key off for 4 or 5 min the light will go off but come back on within 1 or 2 minutes of driving the tractor.

I will check when I get home. I checked all the fluids and they were good, when the engine light comes on the rpm's kind of hiccup but then go back to normal. It runs and drives fine just the CEL (check engine light) is on. My dealer told me to drive it through the week and call him Friday if its still doing it. I thought about trying to see if you could reset the cpu. I thought about the regen process but my dealer said that shouldn't be the problem since it only has 2.6 hrs on it. It had 2.5 when I picked it up.

Hey There, I live in Adairsville, GA which is about an hour drive from where J-Bar implements are made. I have a few of them and am pleased with how they are built and, as far as I researched things, their value for the money is unbeatable. I would not hesitate to buy J-Bar.

Did you have fuel in the tank? Otherwise, if the check engine light is on and it has been repeatable something is wrong and your dealer, in my own opinion, is not giving you good advice because what if it goes out? Something still was wrong and they should be able to read codes to figure it out.
