These tractors have been around for some time. They are Chinesse now owned by Mahindra. They went under the name Lenar. Mahindra has also bough Jinma, which I currently own one of and really like. They are basic tractors that are built heavy and tough. Basically they cleaned up some small quality issues and are now marketing them in the US again under the LS name. LS=Lenar Synchro. These tractors were available here for some time in small numbers by small importers. Here is a press release that was posted on another site dedicated to Chinese tractors about a year ago. You will see the Jinmas follow in the same fashion in the near future more than likely.
Mahindra purchased the Lenar factory and that is where these new Mahindra models are being built. Mahindra spent years developing and upgrading their new Chinese tractor before allowing it to be marketed to the United States market. <br /><br />Prior to its introduction, the President of Mahindra visited our facility in Keno, OR to discuss this model and its attributes. This model was supplied with a 2 year parts and labor warranty, showing the Mahindra quality work and dedication to the new model tractor. <br /><br />Since the launch, Keno Tractors has sold numerous units of the 2525 model. Our customers say they are a good value for the money. They come standard with the Shuttle-Shift Full-Synchromesh Transmission, R-4 Tires and American made Front End Loader, just as the rest of the Mahindra line. They are definitely different than the old Lenar tractors. Any one interested, can either call us at Keno Tractors or refer to Mahindra's website for more information.
