LS builds (or did for Tier 3) Mitsubishi licensed engines which also ran flawlessly. I don't know that I've seen a single problem problem reported here on this forum, in any of the LS built machines (including LS, NH, Case, etc), with their engines. I'm not really sure what problems you have with that. If the engine is built to license specs, it's possible that another Mitsubishi engine, that's branded as a Mitsubishi engine, could have been built by a company like LS, and not even actually made in a specific Mitsubishi factory.
fascinating. No, I have no problem with it, just need a scorecard to keep up.
I think "built to licensed specs" is the key, who is controlling the final product quality.
Frankly after sixty years of "constant improvement" manufacturing, I think these Asian engine and whole tractor
manufacturers have surely proved themselves. Great products. And guess what, Briggs, Kohler and Cat didn't step
up meaningfully to meet the small diesel tractor market. But Kubota and Yanmar did. Perkins did too.
