Thank you for the info.
IMHO, the only thing that tractor is missing the 3pt telescopic links, but I think you can get those from 3rd party.

That was a very good price for the 225E... did you get a price for the 225-S ?

The loader control sure does seem like an odd configuration and placement. What are the “pros” to having it like that?
Ok finally my 225s unit has hit the dealers lot With mmm attached. Felt like kid waiting for Xmas now have to wait to weekend to get it. Work has me traveling for service calls on industrial equipment. Keep you posted on how well it mows this weekend. Take photos and possibly a video. Hope it痴 equal or better than the Tc26da I am trading in on mowing performance. Have been spoiled with rear discharge.

The next 3 days are going to be rough.... anticipation is building! I definitely think you will not be disappointed.... we are awaiting the pics.

And reminder... please let us know your thoughts on the front loader control. It doesn’t look like a deal breaker but does seem to appear different. Thanks and enjoy.
Finished up all of the paperwork today at the dealer and got to do a quick demo in the rain. Sorry, no pics.
Couple things jumped out at me. First, the FEL movement was very fast. I'm going to have to learn some finesse.
Next, and I think this was mentioned earlier, the R4s are easily the least aggressive R4s I've seen. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I'll be doing a lot of mowing with the LS, so maybe it's a good thing.
For those that already ordered, did you get your rear tires filled? There are countless pages on TBN about filling vs not, but I'm always curious about the benefits of doing it on a smaller machine.
Everything is set for delivery on Monday. I'll be sure to get some pictures.

Congrats! We will be awaiting the pics! As far as filling the tires, the size on the 225-S is quite a bit bigger than the 125. My neighbor has a ramp up into his garage, and would have to put it in 4wd so the rears would not spin. He put 16 gal in each rear....About 250 lbs total..... no more spin. He says it rides better over the bumps too!
I will be filling mine eventually, it just costs so dang much .... mine take about 34 gals each.
Ok picked up ls MT225S unit early today- wow quite impressive tractor: Here are my likes 1. Finally comfortable seat with adjustable back rest. 2. The platform setup to fit 6? person tons of room very comfortable open station. Good for large build guys like me pushing the scale. 3: tilt wheel that lands in perfect position better than my Equinox. 4: Mid mount mower deck - they did this right same mount configuration as B2601 Kubota. The deck is deep allowing the need for less horsepower it mows better than any rear mount unit I have used. Extremely impressed with MMM performance well worth 3K no disappointment. Good adjustability for deck to any height on the fly. Not like RK which you have to unbolt and rebolt to new height.5: 3 hours use only used 1/2 gallon of fuel much better than my Tc26da which drank fuel.6: tight turning radius and excellent power steering. Cons: R4 tires ride rough get turf tires to mow with they ride better. The tool box included is mounted outside roll bar needs moved to inside catches on trees. I did not make the 100 club for serial number but fell below 150 units. Looks like either sold 102 MMM or just 2 depending upon how serial number is setup- I have #102. Not able to load pics yet will send when I can show mower. Overall good value based upon performance and appearance. Now let痴 get some hours on see how it holds up. Highly suggest if you are looking next level up from subcompact this tractor fits the bill. It痴 a real billy goat It eats grass. Oh yes the loader control arm looks like LS made last minute changes and push offset Bend further out away from the big mans knee cap. No interference for me whatsoever.
