LS MT 225S

[Otto33]

Congrats! We will be awaiting the pics! As far as filling the tires, the size on the 225-S is quite a bit bigger than the 125. My neighbor has a ramp up into his garage, and would have to put it in 4wd so the rears would not spin. He put 16 gal in each rear....About 250 lbs total..... no more spin. He says it rides better over the bumps too!

I will be filling mine eventually, it just costs so dang much .... mine take about 34 gals each.

Much appreciated. I was already leaning that way and you pretty much sealed it for me. I'll call in the morning and ask if mine can still be filled before delivery. It was pretty muddy when I was driving it around today and it was really easy to get the rear wheels to spin unless I locked the diff or put it in 4WD.

Ok picked up ls MT225S unit early today- wow quite impressive tractor: Here are my likes 1. Finally comfortable seat with adjustable back rest. 2. The platform setup to fit 6? person tons of room very comfortable open station. Good for large build guys like me pushing the scale. 3: tilt wheel that lands in perfect position better than my Equinox. 4: Mid mount mower deck - they did this right same mount configuration as B2601 Kubota. The deck is deep allowing the need for less horsepower it mows better than any rear mount unit I have used. Extremely impressed with MMM performance well worth 3K no disappointment. Good adjustability for deck to any height on the fly. Not like RK which you have to unbolt and rebolt to new height.5: 3 hours use only used 1/2 gallon of fuel much better than my Tc26da which drank fuel.6: tight turning radius and excellent power steering. Cons: R4 tires ride rough get turf tires to mow with they ride better. The tool box included is mounted outside roll bar needs moved to inside catches on trees. I did not make the 100 club for serial number but fell below 150 units. Looks like either sold 102 MMM or just 2 depending upon how serial number is setup- I have #102. Not able to load pics yet will send when I can show mower. Overall good value based upon performance and appearance. Now letç—´ get some hours on see how it holds up. Highly suggest if you are looking next level up from subcompact this tractor fits the bill. Itç—´ a real billy goat It eats grass. Oh yes the loader control arm looks like LS made last minute changes and push offset Bend further out away from the big mans knee cap. No interference for me whatsoever.

Congrats on getting the tractor! Serial number is still pretty low.... do you still have the XR3135?

Now let's get some hours on see how it holds up. Highly suggest if you are looking next level up from subcompact this tractor fits the bill. It's a real billy goat It eats grass. Oh yes the loader control arm looks like LS made last minute changes and push offset Bend further out away from the big mans knee cap. No interference for me whatsoever.

Ahh, better on the eyes now.

Are you saying your FEL control isn't in the way of right side access?

 

[rodneyn]

Correct they have reconfigured bends in arm it痴 not knocking you in the knees as was stated prior. It痴 out of the way. Granted entry on that side you must maneuver around it but I can on without issue and I am Not small.

 

[rodneyn]

Yes have both now. This MT225S is smaller in length much shorter in height. It still acts like billy goat a lot of torque very impressed.

I got to sit on one this week and I was quoted $19,000 (cash) plus tax. I’m ready to order it. Has anyone priced the loader and backhoe without MMM?

My neighbor got his at $19,200 TLB, without mower.

Cool. Sounds like it’s right in the ballpark of my dealer. Thanks

Wraven if you don't mind me asking, what dealer quoted you 19k for the TLB? I have received two quotes from my local dealers, one at $22,300 & the other at $21,693.
