I have an LS 45 HP tractor. I've had it for 4 years, no issues. The regen is a non-issue. You can continue to work when it's regenerating and only regens about every 30-50 hours depending on how hard you run it. If you run the tractor at idle a lot, it will regen more often. I have a cab on mine and it's well worth the extra coin if you are blowing snow or running over yellow jacket nests. The dealer network is little thinner/less robust than some of the bigger sellers. My dealer has been responsive when I needed something but the LS dealers tend be be smaller operations with a couple employees.
