    LS MT125 won't start error code

    When trying to start the engine won't turn over. It reports 4-1 over u001 on the display. I took out the battery. It has a green light on top and measures just under 13 volts. Does anyone have the service manuals or error code list? Same tractor as MT122 with more horsepower. Someone on the LS...

    Rear/Center Tractor Drawbar // USE TODAY

    My SCUT does not have a drawbar (manual says it is optional), it does have a hitch down low. The manual gives some maximum loads for the hitch: Vertical load : 400kg (882lbs) Horizontal load : 1600kg (3527lbs) I bought a chain with a working load above that for dragging logs (and the relevant...

    LS MT125 -24.7 Travel Speed

    Here is the driving speed from the manual. We mow flat ground in high without a problem. Any slope over 10+ degrees will need to be mowed in low. I know that Rock Crawler did a lot of research last year and would listen to his experience. His hill really is something to deal with.

    Backhoe Outside Storage

    My portable garage from Costco is 1.5 years old now. It has kept my backhoe and tractor out of the elements until I have a more permanent solution.

    Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

    This fell apart after my wife swung it 5 times. I think she is putting the kibosh on any more HF purchases.

    Left Front Wheel fell out. 4025 4WD with FEL

    Placing critical bolts that need to be tightened in an inaccessible location is a design problem. How do you know the single large bolt won't also work its way out? I had taken my rear wheel off and didn't recheck the torque (different tractor). I found out on a hill that only three bolts were...

    Loader lift height

    When shopping for my SCUT lift height was something I looked at. The MT125 is as good as the BX80 series for lift height and capacity. Height and reach in the sub compact rage seem to be not that far apart (1-4 inches for many of the measurements). The lift capacity and breakout force do have...

    I looked around at used online and new at the local farm store for a rotary cutter. The last place I went was the dealer, and the price was about the same for a much better implement. He gave me a discount for having bought the tractor there last year and I have been in there for some other...

    LIFETIME PLASTIC SHEDS?

    I have assembled one of those 8x15 Lifetime sheds. It is working well so far. Our old church storage shed was crushed by a tree. They just don't make quality buildings anymore. :laughing: Costco had the Lifetime shed delivered for $1,000 + tax. You need add the cost of either a wood or...

    Massey gc1705 model 2326 60" MMM question

    Good information. I don't have a GC, but my mower manual states, "The deck is to be operated with the wheels on the ground. The cutting height is set by positioning the wheels in one of seven index hole settings." My tractor manual has a section about using the mower height adjustment knob to...

    It has served us well for a year now. Got some holes in it from a lighting strike to a big oak next to it. The bark was blown off the tree, killing the tree.

    New or Used Rotary Cutter for SCUT

    New or Used Rotary Cutter for SCUT

    My wife and I are in the market for a rotary cutter. I have never run a rotary cutter. We have a LS MT125 SCUT that we are using to prepare a horse pasture. We have 7 acres of creek and woods, but currently are only working on about 2 acres that were cleared of everything under 4 inches by a...

    For all the new MT125 owners out there

    Did anyone post a picture of the new drain plug? I am around 90 hours now and I had the 50 hour service done by the dealer and he replaced the drain plug. I noticed a wet spot under the front axle of my tractor recently and confirmed it is oil. The attached picture of the front axle shows the...

    Something to watch for the backhoe owners

    I too had my backhoe controls sticking and not returning to the neutral position. The right stick was the one with the noticeable issue. I took it apart to find it wet with corroding nuts and bolts. I wiped it out and used sandpaper to clean off some of the corrosion. I used penetrating oil and...

    New tires on old trailer

    We just bought a used two horse strait in (title says 1974) with two axles. This is my first trailer, but my wife has hauled horses in the past. The previous owner has replaced the floor, lights, sanded and painted it. They got a third horse and needed to upgrade. The tires need to be replaced...

    Belly Pan/Skid Plate for LS MT125?

    I have driven mine around our woods quite a bit with the mower off. The only thing that has really concerned me was how dented up the Hydraulic oil filter was (right side pointed to by green arrow). It got pretty banged up before the replacement at 50 hours. The fan is protected by the plate...

    MT125 Modification of the top link mount

    I weight 200 lbs. I just lift the grey lever in front of the seat and lift up the seat. Lift the lever again and spin the seat (no lift required). When the seat is up there is a pin on the left side that locks it in the up position (I didn't use it at first and pushed back and the seat fell...

    For all the new MT125 owners out there

    I was looking at a picture of the back of a XJ2025 and see that the wheels are quite a bit further apart than on the MT125. It is just a very small tractor. XJ2025 I found elsewhere on TBN MT125 picture I took yesterday

    For all the new MT125 owners out there

    I ended up taking off both wheels to get on the lower link arms. The bar doesn't slide easily when it is in both sides of the frame on the back. I had to use a rubber mallet to push it out. Because we couldn't pull it out both wheels had to come off. Once we got it out putting on the link arms...

    For all the new MT125 owners out there

    I had the 50 hour service completed and that included the things you mentioned (drain plug, HST relay, and some other items). I bought a used three-point hitch chipper and am looking at putting on the hitch arms. There isn't anything in the manual about actually putting on the link arms. The...

    Digging post holes with the backhoe. Need to be 3 feet deep and 18 inches around. I am getting better at keeping them that small, as digging a bigger hole is actually easier.

    15% Off Titan Attachments

    Just a reminder to clean and protect any wounds. I was holding that green handle on the pallet fork to loosen it up for the first time. It was all the way screwed in when I received it. The handle is so close to those protrusions on the right that it jammed into my knuckle. It barely broke the...

    Comparison I purchased a Massey Ferguson GC1720 - here's why

    The FEL (LL1100) on my MT125 has a float position by moving the stick all the way up and it pops into that position. The manual says almost nothing about it though. The LB1107 manual has this to say about the float position. I didn't even know it had this till I search the manual. Why was...

    New MT 125h owner!

    So my pedals actually went totally slack. They would not engage the drive at all. The mechanic came out and was not here for long. It turns out that this pin in the linkage between the pedals and that connector rod had worked loose. I was not there to see the fix, but I have before and after...

    New MT 125h owner!

    Ok, the thing I am not sure about is the pedal position. My forward pedal can move by about 3 inches without any resistance. Is that how it is supposed to be? Those are pictures of the top and bottom of pedal movement with just finger pressure. The pedal will stay in either of those positions.

    New MT 125h owner!

    I have found that taking the mower on and off is the most work. BH and FEL are very easy. The first time I took off the BH I did not put anything under it and it sank to the ground, but it was not a problem getting it back on as the hoses were long enough. I started asking about the HST pedal...

    New LS Sub-Compact

    I had 4 tons of rock delivered. The MT 125 was able to scoop up a full bucket of the 1 inch clean. We only did that twice, most of the time we were taking about 3/4 full loads. Not lifting to full height except to settle the rock even in the bucket. Still getting used to the loader and trying to...

    New LS Sub-Compact

    Thank you! I read some of that thread. Looked at the two nozzles I had (different brands) and was still stumped. I showed my wife and we got a vise grip and wrench. After mangling the nozzle some more I finally got it to turn. I don't know why they tighten it so much, but it is ridiculous! Now I...

    Have you removed the BH or FEL yet? I watched a video on the removal of the mower from a BX and this was similar. Now I will have to see about putting it back on.
