MT 125 Hydraulic pump

Here was my MT125 in the dealer’s shop after 13 hours. Not a comforting site. But LS did me right.

Wow, they really tore it apart....did they find the problem? Did you get a new tractor?

Just reread your post. That's good that you got a new tractor. I would like to know what the problem was

Yea, definitely posting a picture of what was left was interesting but we need the story of what happened and what they found. I'm pretty comfortable with the LS Warranty and the bad press is not worth the hassle to their sales to not make it right. But please post the story.

I generally described it before Lisa — Had it for 2 months and 13 hours on it. The gas damper underneath broke it’s bracket, and hydro has a continuous creep. My dealer took it in and tried several things over several weeks to fix it, and found the hydraulic pressures were not right coming out of the main pump. They removed the entire back unit to replace the pump. Multiple setbacks along the way. By this point it had been in the shop for two months. I told them I didn’t want it back after such major problems and wanted a new one. After some discussions with Corporate, they agreed and replaced the unit. I’m disappointed the first tractor had the problem but very happy with how LS came through and took care of it.

Thanks so much "Mustangjames" for posting the detailed story. Interesting series of failures for sure and I'm glad it's not a "typical" problem. It's too bad you lost your tractor for two months but a fresh machine delivered to you is a good fix.

Thanks again for taking your time to explain it.

Best regards,
Lisa
