New LS MT 125 owner!

Hot Dang! I finally got my tractor. It came with the Front Loader, Mid-Mount Mower and the Backhoe! I am so excited.
I ordered this dude Memorial weekend and took delivery yesterday.
Brought it home pulled the mower deck, greased and checked the gear box oil and reassembled. Took the FL and BH off, mowed my yard, cleaned it all up, put everything back on and then did a tour through the neighborhood to show it off. Took me about 3 hours.
This Little Blue Bomber is a wonderful little tractor!!

Congrats and welcome to TBN! hahahaha, tour through the neighborhood, that's great. Careful, now all your neighbors will be asking you for backhoe digging projects. I woulda hid it from them, lol.

Welcome to TBN and on having an LS.

Thanks for all to comments! I have dug out a couple of stumps, moved tons of dirt and manure (at the stables where we keep horses). I did put a flow restricted vale on the FEL hydraulics that helped with the floppy bucket issue.
Now I am looking for a 3rd function valve, anybody have any suggestions?

Could you explain a little more about the "flow restricted valve on the FEL? Sounds like and interesting mod.

The dealer placed a restricter value on the drop side of the bucket hydraulics. it is a rheostat type valve that I can manually adjust the flow. I keep it pretty tight which makes the bucket dump a bit slower but gives better control when using the bucket to scoop material. it seems to keep the bucket from rolling forward when digging/scooping.
