apparently, 3 of them arrived today, all were sold. The dealer wants to close for the holidays so they rushed mine over (I'm 67 miles from the dealer) so they could all go home
Odds are, my wife will drive it over to the neighbors before I get there

Congrats! Now go play with it and post lots of pictures! :thumbsup:

WOO-HOO! You finally got it! Congrats!

I had to do a double take on the BH thinking it was a thumb.... it's just the 3 point arms.....

 

[Diggin It]

Oh .. Yeah. So what's the flat thing? Quick mount plate?

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

I think it is the original seat mount... the non-swivel one...

First full day with the 125, Carried chunks of concrete to the dumpster, used the bucket like a blade to move some dirt around, the backhoe to dig out a root ball and some holes searching for a defunct irrigation line, used the FEL like a crane to lift a used box-blade out of my trailer..put R4 tire tracks in circles all over my kubota-driving neighbor's drive.... What a fun day.
Everything good I read about the MT125 is true.. It's a brute. perfect size and capabilities for my needs..

I call my MT125 “The Beast”. I actually pushed over a good sized Holly tree today.
Just keep an eye out on your valves. One of my back hoe valves came loose. Both the lever and a hex head bolt under the boot came loose. Also be careful with your seat. By moving it up and down and spinning it around can crush the wire for the seat safety switch.

I'll take a peek at that today... this afternoon I'll be remounting the backhoe so I can bury about 60 cuft of old concrete chucks and bricks. Going to go as deep as I can, we'll see how it does.

Welcome to the little blue bomber (that's what I call mine). I ordered mine memorial day 2020 it arrived 8/4/20. I too was told it was backhoe holding things up. it did arrive finally and I couldn't be happier!! I love my little blue bomber!! it has done all I have asked of it without complaint!!

Indeed we love our MT125's. I've had mine over three years now and it has 125 hours on it. I have the backhoe too and it's truly a very capable machine. Does everything I certainly need to do.

Just realized I never posted the video from digging my "concrete chunks tomb"

Pay >>>>***CLOSE***<<<< attention to your front wheels. Both of mine are now leaking fluid. I think it's from the oil seal just behind the hub, but I'm not sure.

Well, I pay attention to all 4 wheels... but since this is a video of using the backhoe, are you suggesting backhoe use accelerates issues with the front wheel seals?
