Come along friends as i take my new LS MT125 and start working it on the hobby farm! The chores have just gotten easier with this sub compact tractor and still has the muscle for big task!
Looks like lil blue got some power! Quite impressive for a small tractor. Perfect for the barn, nothing like breaking in a new machine. Looks like yer loving it. Thanks for sharing Buddy!
I've got 16 hours on my MT122 TLB. You definitely need something heavy on the back when doing loader work. These machines can lift quite a bit more than they should without ballast. I would try to avoid filling the tires if it's going to be your primary lawn mower. These are more than heavy enough to make ruts in the lawn and excessively compact the soil, especially if it rained in the last 2 or 3 days. You don't want to be carrying extra weight in mower mode if you can avoid it.
Good evening Dave, nice addition to your tool shed. That unit will work out great in those closer areas of the barn and yard for sure. You will still get plenty of use out of your bigger tractor too. . Did a great job with it so far and more to be seen. Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
Good morning Fred! I appreciate ya watching, I think it’s the perfect addition to our little farm! Looking forward to getting more jobs done with it. Take care my friend!
I have the XJ2025H for a year and a half now. 113 hrs. Love it . Plan to add 6 inch steel rear spacers and 3 or 4 in alum spacers on front. It is pretty unstable on inclines. We have the r4 tires. I think I'm going to get a second set of rim's with ag tires on them and the fluid like my r4's have in them. Since you have mt for around the house work are you considering the ag tires for the 35 horse ls now. So much more traction on my friend's kioti 25 horse tractor with the ags than my r4 tires. So far we just trade tractors when we need the other tires. Nice to have friends you can count on . Sure you're going to love the new work horse. Later
Thanks Tony! It has already proven to be a great addition to the hobby farm! Looking forward to more seat time haha, I appreciate ya watching buddy. Take care :)
Hello Dave aww your LS got a new little brother now. Your wife could help out with some the jobs around your place and the girls get older they could help too so congrats on your tractor. Take care friend have fun with your new tractor 🚜 🚜 ☺☺
Thanks Richard! It is fitting right in 😃 got a lot of work done with it and much more to come! It’s a perfect addition for us, I appreciate ya watching! Take care
You're really going to enjoy having a tractor dedicated to cutting grass and smaller chores. That's specifically why I have a smaller Massey sub-compact to perform tasks in small, tight spaces. Little Blue definitely has some Umhpff-power doesn't she? You moved those rounds uphill with ease. Yep, Little Blue squeezed into the tight area right next to the barn with no issues. I know you're tickled. Thanks for sharing and super congrats man. Full-watch and have a fine weekend.
I believe you'll find lots of uses for the MT 125. A good looking machine Dave. I love the sounds of diesel engine. It sounds a lot like the 3 cylinder on my J.Deere. Looking forward to seeing you put it to work. Congratulations. Have a great weekend buddy.
Thanks Dean, I have gotten a lot of little chores done with it already. It’s going to be a very handy machine! It has a little Yanmar in it so it’s probably the same 😃 they sure sounds tough! Thanks for watching, take care my friend!
Geeeezzzz when I’m rich and famous....I’m gona have two tractors too 😏. Just messing with ya....congrats on the little blue beast! You are going to get a lot of work done with the little blue beast. Enjoy!! 👍🤠
At least the first job for it was not moving horse sh*t. Get out the hose. Mine as 49.6 hours on it. it's now service time. ( I have not posted any videos of it yet on my second channel "My little piece of Heaven " . Matter of fact - I haven't posted anything on there yet. I will when I get back out to my 5 acres (South central Washington state). Love your Videos.
Congrats man!!! I've had similar thoughts about having a smaller tractor around to maintain walking trails and such. Looking forward to hearing your reviews!
Thank you Jerry! So far with 8+ hours I don’t regret it one bit, very satisfied with the power that is pack Into such a small unit! Awesome loader action “with rear ballast” and the mowing abilities are amazing! Thanks for watching, take care!
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm 59% lol. My part of Ohio is slow going as far as the web. I did do a little welding project earlier. Kinda new to this video making. Lol
We just got an LS xj2025 today!! I love the darn thing!! Haven't even had it for 12hrs and it already has over 5 hours!! It got delivered and went straight to work hauling wood round from a tree we cut and just finished grading the driveway: do you mind sharing a link for the compact LS tractor deal you were talking about in the start of the video?
That’s good to hear! Those are great tractors, lots of capabilities from a small package! I’m sorry did you want a link to my dealer or with the tractor, the tractor was bought from Mendenhall Farms in Dennison Ohio. I appreciate ya watching, take care and happy tractoring my friend!
Hello, I've been watching most of your back video's and trying to catch up. I'm tractor shopping myself and might pick one up next week. LS is on the top of my list as of local dealers that is. You gotta sub from me, great job and keep up the cool video's Dave B.
Thanks Dave, I appreciate ya following the channel! I tell ya I am very pleased with the performance on both tractors, a lotta power and capabilities from each! Thanks for watching, take care!
It was all made from welded 2” angle iron. But I believe king cutter has a rear carry all frame that you can also add what ever size deck to. Hope that helps!
Congrats Davey that is awesome. You got me wanting to get rid of my riding mower to get something 4 wheel drive to cut grass. My hills are tough with a 2 wheel drive. I’m constantly spinning out and losing traction. I wanna see that thing cut grass. How easy is it to add and remove the deck?
Thanks Michael! Haha I guess it depends on if she wants to mow the grass 😁 either way we sure are glad to have it and have already gotten a lot of use out of it! I appreciate ya watching, take care buddy!
Good morning David. I am considering purchasing the LS XR4140c shuttle shift. I have it down to that and the Branson 4520c. Love to know your thoughts. The Branson is 4 grand more. Thanks buddy. Mark.
Good morning Mark. Sounds like some good news, that can will be awesome with either tractor ya get. I know it’s a tough decision, they are both good tractors! My opinion of those two tractors was developed from the 30hp range and ya know which route I went haha, to me the Branson just wasn’t as stout feeling as the LS. But my best advice is to go with the tractor that has the better dealer support! That makes a huge difference. I will say that your pick with the LS is the best choice, the XR series has a lot of great upgrades and the 41 will have the LS designed engine. That engine will only regen near the 40-50 hour mark. Mine has had 3 on at 49, 93, and just had one at 138 hours. I really like the fact that you are not regen if every 4-6 hours! Well I hope that helps buddy, I wish ya the best on your tractor search! Take care Mark 🚜👍💪
Yeah I need to do another review! Tractors been great as well as my dealer. In my opinion there is dealer issues with any brand personally I’d just vet your nearest dealer and ask them some questions. Mine is very open with me and helpful!
i have a 2019 xr 3135h with backhoe and love it. does the mt125 equel up to the john deere 125 or do you think its better, me personally i think the mt125 is better and a whole lot CHEAPER...
Hey Joe, thanks for watching! Glad you like your 35, I know we sure get a ton of use from ours! As far as the comparison without getting into the specs it’s a no brainer, when i was looking for my 35HP tractor you would have to go up a few sizes with the JD to get the same performance! And as far as the 25Hp it seems similar as well. I really enjoy the MT125 it mows excellent, can climb steels banks, and is a brute when using the loader with rear ballast! Thanks again Joe, take care!
I absolutely love this little tractor it sure is stout for its size! On flat ground I mow in high range and it really mows nice, I always shift to low range on my hills because they are fairly steep and I don’t want to over load the hydrostatic. But yeah flat yard it’s quick!
I love the industrial sound of this tractor. It's a serious machine.
Thanks for watching, and your right it sure sounds good :) it has been a great tractor so far, we really enjoy both of our blue tractors! Take care!
Awesome 👍 Thanks for sharing. That is one very strong LS subcompact tractor have fun work it hard stay safe.
Thanks buddy! It sure has a lot of grunt for a little guy, going to be a very handy tractor to have around! I appreciate ya watching, take care!
I think you talked me into it Davey... I need one too! haha 👍👍
Haha man what a great addition! It is going to be a very handy machine, lots of grunt from a small package! I appreciate ya watching, take care CJ!
All I was thinking was, if the salesman was watching I am sure he is happy seeing that shiny new tractor in all that horse poo. Good video sir.
Haha I’m sure he would be thrilled 😁 what a great little work horse! Looking forward to more seat time on it! Thanks for watching
Looks like lil blue got some power! Quite impressive for a small tractor. Perfect for the barn, nothing like breaking in a new machine. Looks like yer loving it. Thanks for sharing Buddy!
Thanks Dave! It’s got some grunt :) going to be super handy to have around! I appreciate ya watching buddy, take care!

3 yr review? Hows dealer support hear spotty things
Yeah I need to do another review! Tractors been great as well as my dealer. In my opinion there is dealer issues with any brand personally I’d just vet your nearest dealer and ask them some questions. Mine is very open with me and helpful!
i have a 2019 xr 3135h with backhoe and love it. does the mt125 equel up to the john deere 125 or do you think its better, me personally i think the mt125 is better and a whole lot CHEAPER...

Nice been thinking of one of these for the wife to mow with. What's the top speed you can mow with it?
I absolutely love this little tractor it sure is stout for its size! On flat ground I mow in high range and it really mows nice, I always shift to low range on my hills because they are fairly steep and I don’t want to over load the hydrostatic. But yeah flat yard it’s quick!
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm Good deal, thanks for the reply!
May I ask what your out the door price was?
I think i paid 14-15k for it!
It's a mini clone
Thanks Aaron! It sure is a little work horse, very impressive power and capability in a small package! I appreciate ya watching, take care!
$$$$$?
it was around 14k for loader n mower
