    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    Well with a couple of 90 hour work weeks due to more severe weather, I havent put many hours on the MT125 lately. I'm putting a few on it tonight, but nothing exciting.

    LS apparel

    I found a thread from 2012 about this topic but nothing newer... I didn't get a hat when I bought the tractor and would like to find one that is "official". There is nothing on the LS website that I can find. I did send them an email asking where i can purchase one and suggesting they "throw one...

    Trench Digging

    Good morning, I'm looking for a little advice. I'm new to tractors and equipment in general. Yesterday I helped a friend dig a trench from his house to his new garage for electric service using the backhoe on my MT125. The backhoe worked great, much better than a shovel! My question is, how do...

    Mowing.....Tell us about your yard weapons.

    Mowing 2.5 to 3.5 acres weekly. I have a craftsman Pro series 7400 GT with 54" deck, and MT125 with 60" mmm. I wish my lawn wasnt so steep so I could use a ZT...

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    Dug about 150' trench for French drains and another 80 or so for electric service to a new garage. This is the first time I've been able to put any real hours behind the backhoe. I have to say.... it sure beats the h#ll out of a shovel!

    MT125 Backhoe "stool"

    Good morning TBN, When I disconnect the backhoe from my MT125 the outriggers will bleed off within a few hours. This leaves my brand new backhoe with its belly in the mud and the hoses are just BARELY long enough to reconnect (really just the blue one is short) when I'm ready to hook the BH up...

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    Got stuck.... didnt take much to pull it out but it looks like I'll be hand digging this drainage ditch. Too dangerous to back up to it and dig off the side because of the maniacs that frequent this road and obviously too soft to try to straddle the ditch and dig off the back.

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    Trimmed some low branches around the yard that were making trouble with my ROPS. Used the tractor to drag them to woods then piled them up with the FEL. I'll burn it all after it dies and dries out a bit.

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    Not enough hours in a day..... so I have to mow at night. Trying to get it done before more rain moves in. Parts of the yard are still too wet but it's getting out of control so I made a bit of a mess but got most of it done.

    About to start digging the gunk up that's blocking the culvert under my driveway and cleaning up the ditch line.

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    My MT125 was delivered Saturday morning. Since then, between thunderstorms, call outs, and a Memorial day cookout I've been able to put around ten hours on it. I mowed about 3.5 acres, used the BH to dig out an old (what I believe to be) muskrat tunnel near my pond that had collapsed and was...

    Pulled the trigger.

    Hello all, Fairly new to the forum. I've been lurking around for a month or two researching a few different SCUTS I was interested in. I ended up settling on the MT125 TLBM due to the good vibes I got from the dealer, price, and honestly not finding much negative said about the MTs on here at...
