Loader LS MT125 Quick attach question

[jpark1318]

Good morning-

First- thank you all. I've been quietly lurking in the background reading through endless threads and the information here has been extremely helpful to a tractor noob like myself.

I saw on these threads that the QA system that LS sells for the 125 is smaller than the standard SSQA system. Makes sense as they probably don't want you taxing the machine with heavy equipment. With that being said- one of the solutions I've seen is having the dealer order the QA for the next size up tractor, which will handle standard SSQA attachments.

My question to anyone who has done this is- does the bucket that comes standard with the MT125 still work with the larger QA system, or did you have to buy a larger bucket? The dealer I'm working with has forks that I can buy for $700 that will work with current setup, however, I run into issues if I ever want to use a front end attachment that isn't forks or bucket. If I get the larger size QA system, and I have to buy a larger bucket in addition to whatever forks I buy (probably in the $600 range anyway), it seems even less cost effective than just buying the smaller stuff my dealer offers.

I know the LS is owned by a much smaller population on these forums- but I greatly appreciate any information that can be shared.

Thank you all again for all your help!!

Justin

I have the SSQA that is a little larger ... was bought when I purchased my 125. It does not work with the standard bucket that comes with the tractor. You have to unpin the SSQA to switch to the stock bucket. The one that is available for the 125 was not available when I bought mine and I have a couple attachments that I wanted to use with a SSQA. I have actually now been trying to get the MT125 QA as it should also work with my forks and equipment, it just will not take up the entire mount pad. I don't use the 125 to lift too much weight anyway, so it is not a big deal.
