This has been our experience as well with the XR3135HC. They all seem like pretty good machines. The only real difference seems to be what some companies call options, LS calls standard features.
should I buy an LS tractor or other model???

This subject gets kicked around weekly. Archives should be full of all kinds of "biased" answers. Hey don't knock it. I'm biased because I like my stuff and it works for me! Why shouldn't others do the same......and the people selling stuff!

Buy the tractor you want. Everyone has their own needs and wants. You need to decide what is highest on your agenda of the tractor. My personal order was Dealer network, reliability/issues(read lots of reviews), price, options (standard). IMHO the dealer network was my biggest factor. I looked at LS, Mahindra, Deere, Kubota, Cabelas and Kioti.
LS was nice, price and options were great. Dealer support was not great in my area.
Kioti, dealership lost this one. They never came outside or acknowledged me when I was on the lot or in the dealership. Maybe they didn't take me serious as I was looking with my wife and kids. Oh well
Cabela brand tractor was nice and loaded, but they were phasing out of that business
Mahindra, Wow is all I can say. Dealer was significantly higher than Deere and the dealership was more interested in selling semi trucks
Deere, I went to 2 different dealerships and didn't feel I was at a tractor dealer. I truely felt I was at a lawn mower shop. I am not knocking these dealers because they were both great. It would have taken an additional week as they did not have the implements I wanted. Price was higher than the rest except Mahindra. I felt the model I looked at 3032e did not compare to the Kubota l3301. Mid range sold me on the Kubota
Finally Kubota, The dealer was not pushy. He let me drive the tractor several times. They were very knowledgeable. They had almost any implement I would ever want or need on site. Price, financing and dealer support was great. I feel confident that I could move almost anywhere in the country and find a Kubota dealer.
I really wanted a Green tractor, like most kids. Mid range sold me on the Kubota vs the Deere. I am truely happy with my purchase as I use mid range 60% of the time and Low 40%.
Also, if your going to do loader work. Get the HST.
Good Luck with what ever you buy
