MT125

[Jc72]

I'm getting ready to buy a sub compact tractor this spring . Is every one happy with the MT125? How does the MMM do ? My yard is not very level it's an old pasture field, does it scalp a lot? Thanks

Welcome. There are a few members here that have them and post frequently. Lots of good info in the LS Owning and operating section, you tube videos etc. I only have a rough cut mower for our XJ . There are rear mount finish mowers as well. Enjoy the search!

I have the TLB and absolutely love it! Great little workhorse. I opted for a 3pt finish mower that I purchased separately. Sometimes I wish I got the MMM with the package, would have been cheaper to do it at time of the purchase.

I don't have much to compare it to, but I do like the MMM on the MT125. Our ground is pretty smooth. You can set the anti scalping wheels and control the height of the deck from a knob by the operators legs. The deck is not drive over and attaching the mid-pto requires getting down on the ground and reaching under the tractor to wrestle the connection. It is a manual process and not something you would prefer to do often. I do take it on and off pretty often as the mower reduces the ground clearance when I drive it though our woods.

We have a lot of trees to mow around and a steep hill (measured between 20 and 30 degrees). My wife does most of the mowing and mows the hill up and down. I am sure that a nice zero turn would be better for around the trees, but probably would not fare as well on the hill. From reading others experiences with mowers on the forums I am pretty sure that this is the right mowing machine for our needs. Why are you looking at a MMM on a sub-compact as opposed to a specific mowing machine like a zero turn?

How long have you had your MT 125 any problems?

We have had it since April 2017. There have been a few flaws detailed on this board (3 point to backhoe switch and pedal pin). We bent one of the wheel supports on the mower deck, but I don't think that was a flaw. Tony on this board has a number of videos detailing the MT125 that are the best resource for finding out more. He has owned other brands and compares them.

While not knowledgeable on th MT125 specifically but since it is A Mitsubishi product (which I also own) be cautious of the turf tires should they be 9.5 X 18 R3's as they are no longer fabricated.

Tony's Tractor Adventure Page. Over two dozen videos that walk you through everything, EVERYTHING, concerning the MT125. From reviews, how to's, and engaging in work projects, maintenance, and modifications, Tony covers it all.

BTW: The engine is Yanmar and the tractor is LS. Nothing Mitsubishi about it really.
