Buying Advice Dealers Not Ordering 2011 tractors

you may very well be selling LS short on this. NH designs the tractors that LS is building, correct?

Out of curiosity what is the difference between a 3045 and a NH workmaster 45? Why one over the other?

Aren't these really entirely diffferent class of tractors? I picture the Workmaster 45 as being a no-frills straddle platform ag type utility with limited options, eg. no cab, no hydro, only R1 28" tires, 8X8 trans, etc. The Workmaster is built heavier with inboard planetary rear axles and the front wheels are adjustable, even with 4WD, can take Cat I or Cat II, etc.

The 3045 on the other hand is a CUT with available cab, hydro or 12X12 and many other options. But tires are only 24" max, less ground clearance, no planetary rear axle, can't adjust front rims on 4WD, only Cat I, and much lighter tractor, and price starts several $K higher even in 2WD and can be run up much higher with options.

I might be wrong on a few points but to me they're quite different and not designed for the same market. Maybe one of the dealers can fill in other major differences.

you are exactly right. two different tractors. the 3045 is still in the compact class of tractors. they have a lot of different options for them too. tranny options, cabs, etc..........the Work MAster 45 is a little bigger for one and it is a lot simplier. i refer to them as "like an old school farm tractor" real simple, easy to operate no frills, other than the shutte shift and it come with one rear hydraulic remote.....

I would say it's at least time to start a new thread... I think at this point halfway through 2012 it's not surprising that dealers are not ordering 2011 tractors...
