Yup! That's what I I got was the 242HC. The mechanical injection of the kukje engine was definitely a strong contender for me too but it came down to position of the controls. The LS had them set up very ergonomically where as tym seemed to just put stuff where ever they fit. Also the LS feels much more refined than the tym did to me. I also unfortunately know from experience that LS 100% stands behind their product and I have a great relationship with my dealer.
But, at the end of the day let's see how much work we both get done with our tractors after the alternator fails! I'll hope to make it back shop before I have to call you for a tow!
