The tool bow was was too small. My tools wouldn't fit and I couldn't get anything in it. So I replaced it with a "Plano Rustrictor Field Ammo Box .50 Caliber, Gray, for $31.00 from Amazon. I now have plenty of room and my tools all go inside. I just moved the U-bolts down.
John Deere fixed the rod that breaks on the seat all the time. It's now a different design.(Pre-2018) I went through 3 of these rods before I got the new design installed, and it's still going strong. Although I found that rotating the seat without any of the rods was very simple and easy. The rod just makes the seat lift and rotate at the same time. It was easy when the rod was broke just to just lift the seat and then pull the latch and rotate the seat second. I will admit though, the new rod is much better! That's a nice LS.
Tony's Tractor Adventure, yeah I've heard that too. I had problems with my backhoe losing pressure on the dipper cylinder. Took 2 dealerships and 5 different visits to finally get them to replace the control valve. Now it works great and seems to be much much stronger! My neighbor bought a bigger LS and I can't say that I'm a fan of his model. But we sat and played on your model at the dealership and I liked it better than the bigger 30+ model that he bought. I wish I could own them all.
Not at all. I think the composite material has it's place. It flexes and takes abuse well. Metal brings a little more weight, but when it is bent, it is bent.
Hey how fast does the mt125 drag a field rake across pasture with the backhoe removed? I have 25 acres of irrigated pasture need to maintain and rake once a year. Thanks!
Seems all the reviews are done in the driveway with nice new shiny tractors. How about a guy do a review that actually works his equipment. My tractor dirty mud in the tires, scratches from clearing brush as far as turn signals I don't mow on the highway. 5:06
Hey Tony. I just bought a my 125 and it has no power in high range at all and in low range it won't spin the tires it has 4 hours on it. I am going back to my dealer and ask them. Also when I am move the tractor and I take my foot off the pedal the tractor sould stop with out the break but it doesn't. I don't know if these problem will get better with time or not. Does your tractor have the same problems. Thanks.
How does it compare to the BX80 series is what I need to know. I mean aren’t most of these class tractors sourced by TYM??? Or someone like that? I have researched and shopped and researched and shopped. Till my head spins. I think it comes down to dealer support and then over all cost or out the door price in this class. In end of the day they all seem the same whether it’s the bx80 Mahindra Emax 20s etc NH work master or an LS or kioti or JD 1 series. I think they’re all good machines capable of a lot of work. I can find no clear winner personally. And I have a dealer for kubota (which provides my scag and other mowing equipment for my business) as well as dealers for NH, Mahindra, LS, JD, and Massey. So it’s made it really tough for me decide on a machine. But I need one for my business and my own 6 acres. Decisions decisions
Tony's Tractor Adventure thanks I need to go look at LS again. They didn’t have the 125 when I was last at the LS dealer. Can you get a SSQA on the bucket on the 125???
Awesome video. I like your comment about the toolboxes. . . . . ."yaduh yaduh yaduh. . . .who cares", lol. That was priceless. I bought the John Deere 1025R FLIB fall of last year with the 54" mower deck as well as a set of pallet forks with it. I really do love my baby tractor and has been a big help for me. I have never had a problem with the seat breaking on me & stuff. The only think i dont like bout it is the fact ya have to rotate it around to the backhoe position. J.D. should've mounted a seat on the backhoe itself just like they did with the next size up from the 2023 or whatever it is. There are several features on this tractor that i would like to add/incoorperate to my 1025R. Over all, its been a sweet lil tractor for me. Take care. Is your one a product of Ford or New Holland???
Tony's Tractor Adventure. Thankya for the response back on your LS tractor. My John Deere 1025R is a 2017 year model. My 260 hoe that came with it seems to work purty darn good as ive never had a problem with it so far & seems to have plenty of power from the pump. What year is your LS?
Tony's Tractor Adventure i have never heard of the Yanmar 3 cylinder until I started watching videos of these sub compact tractors. I think these lil Yanmars idle way to high for what they are. 1500 rpms idle is to much. They need to be idle back to at least 1200 rpms. Do you have any idea as to why these lil 3 cylinder diesels are set so to the 1500 rpm idle? I wonder if they can be reset to a lower idle. Thanks for replying back. So you was in the Army, huh? I had no idea i was talking with a fellow warrior. I was in the Navy in naval aviation as a jet engine mechanic. I served in Desert shield/Desert Storm, The persian gulf war. Thankyou so much for your service, my brother. Take care

I've got a emax 25 and your right Yada Yada. Ls looks like a good one. Really tight

Thanks Tony for the info I will call my dealer tomorrow.
Curious, why did you sell this two years ago and go with TYM? Any major problems or just needed more tractor?
I had a disagreement with LS corp. Tractors are well made and all the people in Corp have changed.
Did you feel the massy was flimsy with the plastic rear fenders?
Not at all. I think the composite material has it's place. It flexes and takes abuse well. Metal brings a little more weight, but when it is bent, it is bent.
@@TonysTractorAdventure awesome man thanks
Composite is fine.I had 4 NH and never had a bit of trouble. Steel is good too. I do like the steel hood,though.
How is this a comparison of the 3 tractors your title claims?
The John Deere is superior in most categories in real life
Hey how fast does the mt125 drag a field rake across pasture with the backhoe removed? I have 25 acres of irrigated pasture need to maintain and rake once a year. Thanks!
Great little workhorse
It did well. I just recently upgraded to the TYM T25, which is perfect for our needs. I needed just a bit more for our sawmill.

Tony have you tried a 3 point log splitter?
I have not. For the price difference, I don't think I want to run the hours up on my tractor. Little gas engines are cheap.
I would just put the key in a vice before i wasted money on a new one.
I did. Lol
Where is the actual comparison? This is more of an ad for your blue tractor not a comparison
Ok
Your tractor is demanding that you pay your respects on each use..getting keyed in the knees and bumping the tool box.😜
The next size up from my 2035R is the 2025R.
How much is this ls mt 125 tractor?
What's the biggest price he's ever gotten?
Not a comparison video!
Ok
Put a Scooby Doo lunchbox instead
That will work.
New Massey is lower.
