Looking to purchase an MT 225s. This will be the first tractor I have owned and my first experience with a small compact tractor (have always used my father-in-laws JD 5325 in the past). I will be purchasing with a backhoe but will also use a box blade and rotary tiller. What I am finding is that when switching from the backhoe to three point hitch, one of the rear tires must be removed that in order to install the shaft for the support for the arms. I am hoping that there is a workaround for this that someone has come up with, as I really like the tractor. Is this common for most smaller compact tractors to have to remove the wheel for this? I can't find anything online regarding this issue. The smaller MT125 does not seem to have to have the requirement for the tire to be removed, but I need a bigger tractor than a sub-compact.
