In 2014 I bought an LS Tractor from a dealer who had previously sold only New Holland (and continues to sell) Mahindra. I had never heard of LS but the local dealer, who was also new to LS offered me a hell of a deal -- 40 HP tractor and a used 18 ft trailer for $22K. I took a heck of a chanced as even the inter webs were not much help back then.

So after 2 years and over 600 hrs, I can confidently say that the tractor is very reliable and performs as advertised. I've put it through some tough land-clearing and pond-building projects and it hasn't failed. I also use it for the more standard row crops and mowing.

Two (3pt) implements I have built for it are a weight box (to counter the FEL load on a slope) and a ripper/subsoiler.
