    Wood chippers

    I just bought a Betstco FH-BX42 to run on my LS MT125 which has 24.7 HP and 17.5 hp at the PTO. They specify 15 HP for MINIMUM HP. It's their version of the WCBX42S. I haven't run it a lot but what testing I did it seems to handle up to 4" fine. I just got it a couple months ago and...

    Workmaster 25s flail mower.

    How big of a flail mower can you run on an Workmaster 25s/LS MT125? I was going to get a Betstco 53 inch medium duty mower but they say it needs requires 22 HP at the PTO. I have one of their 53 inch rotary tillers that they say requires minimum 20 hp but doesn't even slow the tractor down on...

    MT 125 Hydorlic Transmission oil.

    So this is the stuff I got a Tractor Supply Co. Looks like it has the specs of the your NAPA stuff. I didn't want to go back to NAPA because if they did not know what to sell me the first time the probabaly wouldn't know the second time. I told them the specs from the manual and they sold me...

    MT 125 Hydorlic Transmission oil.

    I had to replace the PTO out put shaft that I snapped off and decided to do the 50 hr maint at the same time. I need to replace the trans fluid. What is a good oil. My dealer is 70 miles away and I'd rather not drive that far. I have a New Holland dealer in town and I thought I'd try using...

    MT 125 Max tiller size?

    Well, I shot my self in the foot - with a Bazooka! So, when I got the tiller the PTO shaft was too long. I cut the shaft and all was fine. Then I got the quick hitch. Now the pto shaft was too short. So I got a PTO shaft extension to restore the PTO shaft length. Long story on that...

    Would New Holland do Warranty service on LS tractors?

    I'm sure I know the answer but it never hurts to ask. Since the New Holland Workmaster 25s is a rebadged LS MT125 would LS pay New Holland to perform warranty service on an MT125? I'm sure if New Holland performs warranty service on a Workmaster they would charge back to LS. So why not have...

    Is there any adjustment for the FEL joy stick on the MT125?

    Because my garden is on the side of a hill I put bunch of rail road ties as a retaining wall to keep the dirt level. After years they became a haven for slugs and rodents and I wanted to increase the size of the garden and had to remove the ties. I was able to tuck the end of the ties under...

    Rotary Tiller for MT 125

    I finally bought a Betstco TM130 tiller. It's a 51 inch wide blade. I tilled the garden a couple of days ago. I was quite impressed. I have amended red clay and at this time of the year here in Western Oregon it's pretty mucky. It's not a good time to do dirt work. I was pretty surprised...

    New MT125. I like blue

    I got my new tractor last January. Hardly have been able to anything with it until recently. It replaces my old Gray Market 50 year old Kubota B7000 tractor I've had for 25 years. I can't knock Ol Skoshi Sumo. It always was like an old faithful mule ready to work. I hope I get the same...

    MT 125 Max tiller size?

    The LS web site says the MT125 PTO has 17.2 HP. The Mt125 manual says MAX tiller working width is 50". I'm looking at a 51" working width tiller that the manufacturer says requires 27 34 hp at the PTO. I have a hard time believing that one extra inch on the tiller needs 10-17 more HP than a...
