First loosen the nut that holds the joystick into the control valve, Then position the joystick so that it doesn't hit the throttle. Finally tighten the nut while holding the joystick in position. Common problem but easy fix.

I've had my MT125 for exactly one week now, put 12.5 hours on the gauge.. used the backhoe to dig a hole big enough to park a VW bus, have been using a boxblade to flatten and level an area as big as a basketball court getting ready to make a new shop... only very minor issues.. couple of missing circlips on the backhoe, one hose chaffed, fuel gauge always says full.. Came with a hand full of parts I have no idea what they are.. no real issues so far...

Those handful of part may be for your 3 point hitch. I had a missing lynch ring pin that goes to the front end loader.

i was able to identify some of them today... a couple of parts for the old-style 3 point lower bar.. slow-moving triangle mount.. I've gone back-and-forth between the drag and backhoe several times this last week, only thing missing I can find are the clips used to retain the travel-lock shaft on the backhoe.
