This thing is a monster. First I have seen this in person. I bought from brochure/website photos. It really does seem to have nice fit and finish to it.
I was bush hogging with my old Jinma a few days ago. It has really been dry here and I kicked up so much dust, I was tinted red when I was done. All I could think of was how nice it would be to work in a cab.
Tomorrow or Sat I will be able to really go over it inside and out.

Despite it being listed under your profile it never even clicked you were going from a Jinma to this LS, it must be like stepping into another world.

I actually might keep the old Jinma (2005). It's a good beater tractor. The JD I have is a 3203 (2007) that i bought off my friend when he was going through his divorce. He bought it new along with a rear finish mower and bush hog.
The JD I think I will sell. I have to say it has been very reliable. Every year I do all the fluids and filters on it to the tune $600 in parts, oil and hyd fluid.

It's here safe and sound. It drove it all of 5 mins to move it to the back yard. Couple photos of LS and JD side by side and back view. Rear tires on LS are as tall as my wife. 
Asked the dealer what the tires were filled with and he told me regular antifreeze. He said one tire takes about 100 gallons. I couldn't believe it. But when right next to them, they are big.
My JD has antifreeze in the tires too.

That is a physically imposing machine for something in that friendly LS blue.

Nice looking tractor! Those rears are big! And probably close to 1000lbs!
