Anyone know much about LS tractors?

[Jwebbfedex]

I'm looking at a LS XR4046 (no cab), I've been looking online for reliability issues on these tractors but haven't found many. It seems like maybe they are so new that some people may not be having major issues yet. The pricing on these tractors are in the right ball park, so any help from you guys would be appreciated.

I carefully inspected LS tractors during September 2014 Sunbelt Ag Expo, Moultrie, Georgia. I was impressed.
I am uncertain about additional complexity of turbocharger on 4046.

I don't have a 4046 but do have an XR3037HC. It's only 9 months old but no issues yet. There are a lot of LS owners on here. Check the LS forum section Jeff mentioned for other 4046 owners. Maybe post your question there for answers. Other than a broken light, radio antenna, minor leaks, I don't recall reading about any major issues. Lots of mods have been done such as additional lights, mirror relocating, tool boxes, adding front remotes off the rear remotes, etc.

Lots of folks pst in the LS sub-forum here. I had the previous R4047 and it was a great machine.

Agreed! Check out the LS sub forum and you'll find plenty of info and experience.
