I have been stuck in the house for the last 2 weeks, but the weather turned nice. I took the opportunity to service the mid mount mower on my LS MT125. I hope you enjoy the video.

Interesting video. Can't wait for the 50 service on your MT125.
Thanks for taking your time to put this on video. LS certainly has a good looking and very serviceable gear box.

Well I have a smile over that. You have been working your machine a lot since you got it. We've all seen the video's to prove it and I have 25 hours on my machine and I haven't even scratched the paint off the buckets yet. I guess my practice digging in my shop over the concrete floor has added up. I'm still eagerly waiting for an opportunity to actually work my machine for the first time. Thanks so much Rider for the video's and website too. All interesting.

Not to change the subject but I happened to see your vid on the Good Sam forum about moving your travel trailer with your MT125. I saw no mention that you put any weight in the loader. When you max out the 3 pt lift especially with the hitch back as far as yours was, for safety reasons make sure to put counterweight in the loader. That weight on the 3 pt surely made your front end light and could have applied enough down pressure to lift the front of the tractor off the ground.

The max 3 point hitch lift rating is without a loader. The loader is the extra weight. It also has the extra weight of the backhoe frame which is an extra weight the standard tractor does not have. The front tires never felt light at all. A good example was, the yard was soft and the front tires were marking it pretty bad. All was uneventful in the end. It is well within the tractors capabilities. I think lifting a bush hog up is harder, because the weight is so far back. Thank you for the insight. Always two ways of looking at things. A load of dirt in the bucket surely wouldn't have hurt. Well, maybe my yard! LOL.
