I sttered clear of LS for no particular reason but I just did over the years,,,,,,I didn't like the color of the paint was he main reason in their commercials....seeing one in person was a different story. I wanted a small do odd jobs around the place new compact tractor with tight turning, 25 hp for emissions elimination, 4wd, PS, and loader. Back in 2016 I bought a Branson 2400 to compliment my larger tractors and thought I was making the right decision since I liked the 2009 6530 Branson I had. I also thought old school and went with the manual tranny which came with the tranny PTO.....which turned out to be a big mistake as I learned over the years I had it. The loader was not the skid steer dimensioned QD type.....so I couldn't use it to move my 5x4 round bales.

In January 2021 I don't know the particulars but I was thinking about upgrading my 25 hp compact series worker to a hydro and Ind. PTO. So I went to the local Branson dealer and check out their stock since I had good service out of my 6530. I wanted to trade a couple of tractors that I didn't use any longer. They didn't take trades but put me onto a guy who buys used tractors when they have a customer who has a trade-in and to get what I wanted I would have had to upgrade to a larger tractor.

I contacted him and in the process accidentally found out that he was also a licensed LS dealer. Just for grins I pull up the site and looked at their models in that class. I was thinking about a certain model and discussed it with the dealer. He said I woiuld be best served with the MT 225S and he would take my 2 tractors in trade and drive 400 miles round trip to make the swap, with prices for all of it quoted over the phone....I had sent him pictures of the trades and condition.

The LS was very inexpensive considering it's amenities and had more cockpit space for a big guy, and in addition to the reasons for change also had a tilt wheel and QD loader which was lacking on the Branson and was a big + for me in current problems in the get on-off cycle and limiting my loader attachments....I also use a pallet with the loader.

Well that was January 2021 and I am sold on my decision and not looking back. So, in your searches, this is another brand you might choose to consider.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
