[QUOTE="arkie1, post: 1376779, member: 25283"] So I know LS claims they are the same as a NH. All of our larger tractors are NH and one place I lease the landowner has an LS. Side by side I can find VERY few similarities between the two and they are the same year and hp. I mean, sure, it's a tractor I've used it to bush hog a little and fill the creep feeder every so often. It does the job find but it is extremely light in the back end. A thousand pound bag of feed will make it very light on the rear on flat ground. A 4x5 bale is not much fun either on hills. As far as the cab I found it to be small. I'm 5' 9" and I almost bump my head on the roof. The seat has to be the most uncomfortable thing in the world! Mechanically like I said it's a tractor. There's things that look like they'd be a PITA to get to and there's other things that don't look that bad. Warranty wise the owner has nothing but good things to say but he'd only had to take it in a couple of times. I've known several people with Mahindra and what I've gathered is that there warranty is for sure iffy. Biggest complaint I've heard is about the A/C system. More than once I've been approached to look at Mahindra's for folks and I always do my best to politely decline. I think you get what you pay for to a point when it comes to tractors.
