My 125 has a simple slide lever to select PTO ... Rear, Mid or Both. I can (and often do) have the FEL, Backhoe and MMM on at the same time and can use any or all of them. Including the BH, it was several thousand less than the 1025R without BH.
Hello there! Looks like your about an hour away from me right now in Maine, my wife grew up here! Love Maine!
yea it is a mixed bag and it is not a given that you will get good service from any brands dealer. even though i end up going a different route my closest LS dealer would have been my second choice (above my 2nd choice Mahindra dealer). I had to wait for about a month for my local Mahindra dealer to get exactly what i wanted but i was never really tempted to go with my second choice Mahindra dealer who had some in stock.
Assuming you mean the 1025r? My issue is (correct me if I’m wrong). If you are using the rear PTO implements and lowering them (blade, tiller exc) the mid pto also lowers at the same time.
same here I like having a large CUT with a rotary cutter for the fields and my ZTM for finish mowing around the house, about 1.5 acres. I have used the ZTM on some of the rugher fields but it is hard on it and the tractor is hard on my close cut lawn. The ZTM is sooo much faster at mowing my lawn.
ok, to each his own. My closest anything dealer is 30 miles, but if i did not like the 5145 so much i was going to go to the nearest LS dealer who was 140 miles away because the MT342 he was offering me was a very good deal for a tractor that has a lot of nice features and nice capability's. Kubota was not in the running for me because the price quoted to me was almost 3X what the LS was priced at and the dealer gave me the distinct impression that he really did not care to talk to me. my father loves his Kubota.
I agree i liked the MT2 series it was just to small for my needs (that is not exactly true i could have done just about everything i wanted to do with the MT2 series it just would have been more time consuming and i would have had to be more patient). at the end of the day with 0% financing all of the options were doable and the price diff for a tractor that had 3X the capability's was only about 60%. I started out looking for the minimum that would work and ended up just getting what was comfortable for me to operate and that i knew would exceed my needs.
The E is the same size frame as the S, but it is about 700 pounds lighter. I know the E is the economy model. I never looked into anything that small, but I can use the web ok.

No. There is a lock/store position the holds the MMM up if you drop the rear 3 point. Not sure what all brands or models have the, but mine does.
I agree totally, I would’ve tried to buy kubota 50 hp, 4w/d with loader , backhoe, cab , and grapple bucket, I to have 5 acres, it has been in family since 1929. I found a Branson 30 hp no 4w/d. With a loader, blade, and shredder, from private seller .so if possible go bigger you won’t be sorry.
I think that's a very valid solution for many circumstances, one exception being where mowing steep hills is required - especially if the ground will sometimes be damp. My little 4wd tractor is great for the steep hills I mow at our lake cabin...as long as I travel vertically up & down it, of course. I would be really wary of a ZT there.
