I have been looking all over to find the tractor that is going to be my best fit. I have looked at Deere, Kubota, Kioti, Mahindra and LS. I will be on about 6-7 acres heavily wooded trying to clear it out and eventually building house/road/yard/pool etc.
I narrowed it down to the Kubota and LS. I like both and they are both very sturdy machines but getting the LS scares me because everyone is a fan of the Kubota. I like the two pedals for the LS Hydro better than the rocker but the Grand series rocker is not that bad, you can keep your foot off to the side. I plan on doing a lot of FEL and using a Grapple. Plenty of dirt work and brush cutting. Seems like the LS has a stronger FEL but that's on paper.
As it sits right now to get the 3rd Function valve to the controller for both and fluid in tires the LS is $5500 cheaper. Both I feel are offering a pretty good deal.
Kubota 29.5
LS 24
Kubota dealer is closer (10 minutes) very nice and I have purchased mowers from him. LS dealer was also very nice lives near by but his shop is about 30-40 minutes away. The price point is pretty big and I had no problems with the tractor itself. It felt good and drove good but so did the Kubota. I guess I am worried about the LS brand but that dealer has been around for nearly 20 years and has had LS since the name change.
Does anyone know about the LS and can I get a fair comparison to the Kubota
