Welcome,
You'll find several folks with the smaller tractors on here. They are all helpful. I'd second the everything attachments recommendation. I've not bought from them yet but I will when I get ready for more implements. I started looking at the 125 but quickly found out it was just too small for my needs. Anyway welcome and keep in mind that what works on one tractor will probably work on another of similar size.

Welcome to the forum! :welcome:

I have not put a grapple or quick attach on mine, and have not seen anyone else report doing so in the MT125.

I have the same model i am looking at installing a thumb on the backhoe. the mt125 is a good machine all around and you can get it into tight spots , it also has plenty of digging power.

I too have been considering a thumb. LS did not include the mounting tabs like some other SCUT BH's. I have found the clamp on ones online for about $165. I just can't bring myself to have any welding done on a new machine, plus then trying to match the paint. If you get one, make sure to post some pics.

yeah im with ya i dont feel comfortable welding on a new stick, i prefer bolt on too , i have found an ebay store that has them, and gave me the dimensions/ drawings but it appears we 125 owners would have to do some shimming to make it fit.

Probably the same one I was looking at. To me, shimming would be worth it vs welding.

here is the drawing of the thumb they sent me, i havent had a chance to measure yet but, i think it will be close
