"I bought this tractor hoping to have many years trouble free. The first month, the signal light and rear lights stopped working. I hauled it to the dealership and they replaced the rear lights and signal bulb. Two months later, the diesel line coming off pump blew. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the fuel line after two weeks. I picked the tractor up from the dealership and brought it home and started using the front end loader to discover that the dealership left a pin out of front end loader and caused damaged to the front end loader mounting bracket. I took it back to the dealership and they ordered a new bracket and replaced the damaged one.Two weeks later, I finally got the tractor back. I worked the tractor for two months and then noticed that the bracket on front end loader was bending and the cotter pin for 4-wheel drive was missing. I took it back to the dealership and they replaced the bent brackets and missing cotter pin. I got the tractor back and worked 15 hours before I noticed the rear differential would not function. I took it back to the dealership and they call themselves fixing the problem. I got the tractor back and it ran for maybe a month before it threw out a bearing causing me to not to have any clutch. I managed to get the tractor loaded onto the trailer and took it back to the dealership. They told me the clutch was not a warranty item. I told them there was nothing wrong with clutch. The tractor still pulled but has no clutch. I had to disassemble the tractor and find out the problem. They discovered that the arms on the pressure plate were defective and a piece had broken off and caused damage to throw out the bearing. They ended up replacing the clutch, bearing , and pressure plate. I got the tractor back home a month later. The differential was not working properly, the throttle cable quit working, and the ignition switch stopped working. To make a long story short, the tractor is back at the dealership as we speak 10-11-15. I have asked for a copy of the repairs they have made over the last 23 months and the owner said he could not give them to me because LS has a privacy act. I feel I was a part of LS also (I was the one that bought the tractor from LS). "

"This 28.5 HP Tractor is a really nice machine. It does everything I ask it to do. Very quiet 4 cylinder engine. The backhoe is big and strong. The tranny seems to be very rugged and the bucket is large and deep. Also, has the quick disconnect for easy removal. The price was the seller. Buying a "No name " Tractor was a little nerve racking but I really like this machine. "
