[LS Tractor Owner]

Willy there are no LS dealers around in my area but I understand they are very good tractor I have no knowledge of them except from what I hear I have had Kubota in the past approximately 40 years ago the new ones aren't like the old ones were. The closest Kubota dealer to me is 3 hours away. the best one I found was Branson and I'm very happy with it. Branson's parent company is tym and they are a very good tractor also, but no TYM dealers around me. Each to there own that's what makes the world go round.

There is an LS and Massey dealer in Gallup NM, about an 1 1/2 hours from you. It's called Navajo Tractor. Might be worth it to give them a call.

Jeez. Whats with sll the vitriol on this site today….?

I live right near Ann Arbor. Great restaurants, arts, and arguably the best university in the world. We can all make fun of their idiotic local government tho, lol.

I can also promise you that the Aeschilmans do not live in or identify with Ann Arbor culture, haha.

Not sure, some people just like to be combative.

Aeschliman's has been alright as far as I'm concerned but they're just outside of the grasp of Ann Arbor's crazy. Someday they'll be surrounded in it as Whitmore Lake gets overrun.

Talk about tractor prices going up.
My Yanmar tractor with cab a/c & heat,
backhoe and front end loader/bucket
The price now for the same tractor with
out the backhoe is $1,000 dollars than
what it cost me for my tractor TLB!
At the rate prices are going up next year
only the rich will be able to buy a new
tractor!

Most people that don’t like the Kubota pedal are using them wrong. Personally I think the 2 pedal setup is goofy and I don’t like it. Also there’s different pedals on the Kubota Grand vs the economy tractor. I’m not as familiar with the Kioti so I won’t comment but the Kubota grand is a far superior machine to the basic Kubota. Some people call it bells and whistles but that’s far from the truth. First and foremost the Grand has a 6 speed transmission vs a 3. In addition to that it has far superior 3 point arms, a more comfortable seat, a tilt column steering wheel, a separate clutch for the pto engagement, cruise control, and probably other stuff I’m forgetting about.

I'm new to the forum and a new Kubota owner, I purchased the machine with the thought I could get accustomed to the pedal and after one month, I'm not real happy with it. There's tons of videos all explaining the correct way to use the pedal, most never mention the fact the people come in different sizes as does their feet. Will a person that is 5'10" and a size 10 shoe have the same issues that 6'4" person with 14 shoes? Maybe with more hours it may get better, not sure why Kubota hasn't offered a different pedal as an option, possibly attracting more customers who choose a different tractor based on their dislike for the pedal.

Sorry to hear that LFP. Honestly the treadle-pedal was enough to convince me not to bother trying to score a deal on a Kubota. The price tag being the other main reason, lol.

My older Cub tractor has a small, non-ergonomic treadle pedal also. My leg gets fatigued from having to essentially carry it's own weight in the air, to apply the right amount of down pressure on the pedal in the right spot. Separate pedals means you can just rest your leg/foot and go.
