@buildit They have all different sizes. Haven’t been in the states for very long. Trying to expand their business in the states.
Sadly I won’t recommend them even for a minute. If I told the story of the last 10 months you’d be shocked.

I have to ask... who built it? More importantly, who built the engine? (old school thinking). I'm happy for you though, whoever built it!

My 84 yrold dad insists on taking rolls of hay to the cows, on a Brazilian built Massy. I cringe every time I hear it fire up! I have to buy a new seat for it every couple of years so his hinny doesn't get wet!

They are from Japan. The first two years the tractor was VERY impressive. Sadly a small problem turned into big issues and a VERY POORLY handled situation on the part of the manufacturer.

 

[phideaux]

Glad your ordeal is over.

Whats your daytime opinion?

Can you do some daytime pics?

It would appear it is a Mitsubishi engine in the LS tractors but that has changed over time and would depend upon model name and year.


LS Tractors is an engineering company. It is a division of LS Cable in South Korea. The group was originally part of the LG conglomeration, and was known as LG Tractors and LG Cable, respectively.

LS is associated with Mitsubishi tractors of Japan for technology, and many tractors are based on Mitsubishi designs, as well as use Mitsubishi engines. New Holland Ag also imports LS tractors to resell as LS-New Holland. (They originally had agreements with Fiat, which purchased New Holland. New Holland is a division of CNH Global).

LS formerly supplied base models for Montana Tractors which were then assembled in North America; and sold under the Montana brand name. This agreement ended when LS decided to begin their own imports and dealer network in 2009. They used to build for Farmtrac, a division of Escorts Agri of India, for sale in North America; and for TAFE Tractors of India also for sale in North America.

I have a few friends who thinks it’s funny to hide a piece, or switch one in from m a different puzzle

 

[Peanut]

Double R, how is the new Blue? It's been 24. I know you took for a test drive! Didn't fall asleep in my recliner tonight... wish I could.

We didn’t touch it today. It’s still sitting in the barn.

I’m sorry you didn’t fall asleep!
We’re just eating dinner. Or is it breakfast at 12:30am? Lol
How was your day @Peanut

 

[The Innkeeper]

Evening/morning all

 

[Double R]

Hey @BugoutBob
How are you buddy?

 

[The Innkeeper]

Up and awake unfortunately, but has a good day. You?

 

[Double R]

That’s good to hear except the still up part. We’ll actually I’m happy cause I get to say hi.
We’re just eating dinner. Been a long day.

 

[The Innkeeper]

Calving?

 

[The Innkeeper]

Bible study this morning. A good visit with a friend whose wife is dying. A lead on a truck I am trying to sell. Finished changing out the upstairs thermostats, walked the dog. Did some shopping. Cleaned some ice off the walkways. Busy day

 

[Double R]

Not yet. But we’re ready.
Added two camera’s tonight to help keep better watch on them.
Going to make it nice I think. Can watch day and night from anywhere.

 

[Double R]

I’m sorry your friends wife is dying. That’s rough.
Good luck on the truck sale! We just sold our last extra car. Really happy to see them all go.
Ice sounds cold
It’s foggy now so our temp is going up.

 

[The Innkeeper]

Death is part of life and she knows where she is headed after. Nobody enjoys the dying part though. It’s a good truck but just can’t justify the cost of having it sitting there doing nothing. We could use the cash more.

We have foggy springs and autumns especially early morning evening. Comes from living at the junction of two rivers in the midst of mountains.

Looks like my sleep drugs might finally be going* to kick in. Good chatting* with you if only for a moment. Sleep well and have a good night.

Signing off. We be gone now, bye bye

 

[Double R]

Sweet dreams!

 

[Fort]

I have class again... CPR class this time

 

[Amish Heart]

Off to the American Heritage Girls pinewood derby race. Our granddaughter created a little car out of a block of pine wood and the races are today

 

[phideaux]

My grandkids have every Pine car that we ever built together ,over the years, on shelves in their bedrooms.
Those were some fun times..
Building the cars , adding special concoctions to the axes to make em faster,

Then the race day....

Many, many memories.


Jim

 

[havasu]

I have my pinewood derby car that I made in 1963 still in my cabinet. It is one of the only childhood memories I have kept with me.

Rainy Ohio day but at least the temps are supposed to make it to the 50's. Then we start the slow slide thru the week back to the 20's by Friday. Taking off in a while to go work out and maybe stop at Walmart for some stuff. I suppose if I really want to start a rainy day project I could tear down the Winchester 100 and see if I can figure it's issues out. Gonna make Forts jigsaw puzzle look like a toddler puzzle.
@Fort I guess that would be a real challenge for you is to start tearing down some firearms to do cleaning and oiling so they don't rust. Something I do a lot and wish my dad had done more of instead of just sticking firearms in a towel in the back of a closet.

 

[buildit]

So did a big workout and some basic shopping for ingredients needed, came home made my special burritos with hot cherry tomato sauce. Maybe the gun will get some attention tomorrow. LOL

 

[buildit]

@Fort congrats on getting little man dropped off and completing your CPR class today.
