I’m thinking it’s finally time for a change

You are correct, LS builds both New Holland and Case compact tractors.

I really think LS fit and finish is right up there with the best of them. I think this was a benefit of their partnership with Case/New Holland, is that CNH required this as they compete with John Deere. When the partnership started, that is really when LS upped their game.

Of the 3 Korean brands, I believe LS has the best Fit & Finish followed closely with Kioti which does a decent job. TYM is the overall value leader but is a good ways behind LS and Kioti, and most other tractor brands as far as overal fit and finish goes. TYM isn’t bad, especially compared to older machines, but not up to current standards other manufacturers are doing now.

TYM was considered in my case but I have to agree fit and finish appears to be lacking. The dealership that I visited had to use a jump box to get the machine running which was a complete turn-off. Wasn’t coming off a Boomer and switching to TYM just wasn’t happening. Not knocking the machine, just saying.

Which is too bad, I thought the construction of the Branson line was very good when I shopped them against LS and Kioti. I actually preferred it over the Kioti

I just saw this 55 hp, 4x4, cabbed New Holland for sale on FB and thought it might be interesting to the discussion.

So I ordered a MT242HC - 42hp tractor with the following:
Cab heat & cooling
Radio
Front and rear LED work lights
Puddle lights that illuminate when doors are opened
Rear control for 3-point lift
Front & rear wiper with washer
Linked pedal
Cruise
Suspension seat & armrests
Hydrostatic transmission
R4 industrial tires
Grill guard
Telescoping rear lift arms
SSQA loader
66” bucket SSQA equipped
66” scraper blade for bucket
4 rear remotes
3rd function for grapple
Rear filled tires (washer fluid)
0% interest
6’ XP24 snow pusher w/optional pull-back bar
I was promised a 2-week delivery from the order date and I’m looking forward to working with the rig.

I’m presently cleaning up my TC40D New Holland Boomer, 17LA loader & backhoe w/dolly in preparation for placing it on the market.

BTW I was promised a December delivery date for a 40hp Boomer New Holland tractor for an additional 10 grand with less options than those listed above. If the delivery date alone wasn’t a turn off the additional price was the deal breaker.

Got lucky for once as I scored a 6’ snow pusher with the pull back already installed at eBay for $1000.00 Can’t beat that deal, since the LS dealer wanted $3100.00 for a similar unit.

I'm not picking on anybody here, but what I find comical is people complaining about high prices, then paying them. YOU are the ones causing the high prices. If people went on a buyers' strike, the high prices would not be possible.

I did my part. I just bought a vehicle for 30% off msrp. STOP OVERPAYING.

About a 1-1/2 back I was one of the lucky ones to actually get what I paid for from Everything Attachments before they went down under.

Are you saying they went belly up? Their website is still active.

They are most certainly out of business...

Though they seem to like pretending they are in business

They are still stealing peoples money apparently, but yes, they are belly up.

It’s a shame because their implements were way over-engineered, the hydraulic rake I ordered has 3-cylinders and is built like a battleship.
