MT125

I see that New Holland is also using LS for their sub compact tractor the Workmaster 25s
I know that New Holland uses LS for all their small tractors

That is good to see! The loader lift capacity on the New Holland website matches the lift capacity of the mt125 manual (1005 lbs).

That means this model will be around for a while. I truly enjoy mine.

I'll be honest in still looking at the John Deere 1025r just because of the quick connect of the mmm and all the options you can get for the fel . I called my LS dealer and asked about wheel weights don't have any options for MT125 are limited

I have owned both the John Deere 1025R and now the LS MT125. They are both very similar tractors, but the drive over deck was nice. I have to pull mine out from the side. It is not that big of a deal to me, but the drive over is easy. I think you would be happy with both. The front end loader is very stout on both, but as you say you can get more stuff for the John Deere. Just my opinion. Loading the rear tires is much cheaper than buying wheel weights.

I've had both filled tires and cast iron wheel weights on my sub-compacts. They both have advantages and disadvantages. The wheel weights are ungodly heavy to install and uninstall. If you are young and bench 200 regularly pay no attention to this old man. LOL But, you can remove them is you wish, such as to prevent compaction in the garden beds, etc.

The filled tires I had effected the ride quality of the tractor to a noticeable extent. The ride was more harsh as the rear tires didn't seemed to absorb shock as they did with just air.

Both work. Both work well and are advised to counter weight the loader but also provide more mass, way down low, on the rear and traction is much improved and when pushing snow, they provide an amazing amount of extra oomph, if that's a word.

These wheel weights are not "brand" specific. Fitment is assured across many, many brands as almost all these sub-cuts buy and use virtually the same wheels and tires.

They mount with two threaded rods that make a mounting stud. They use two of the square holes in your wheel. They are cast iron. If a dealer sells enough of these weights to his customers, he has them trucked in for his inventory. That's good for the consumer. If you have to order them yourself and have them shipped to your place, I cannot imagine how much the freight would be. Not cheap is my guess.
