New LS Sub-Compact

That makes sense to me about the bucket width. I bet if these tractors get even more popular they'll make some new quick attach standard just for SCUTs.

My BIL just bought the LS XJ2025 about 1 week ago and it does have the ssqa. The LS MT125 will not have it because the bucket isn't wide enough to fit the ssqa.

The Kubota bx80 series offers SSQA and has a 48“ bucket. The MT125 has a 50“ bucket. The manufacturer has shown pictures and video with a version with SSQA. Why are you so sure it can't?

LS mt125 owner, your pictures of the new house lot, trenches, etc. are pretty amazing. Been looking at the XJ's but now the MT is on my list as well for a test drive. I'm positive I'd buy an LS MT over a Kubota BX25. I'm curious, did your dealer have an SSQA option for the FEL? That's one thing that I really like about the XJ.

When I asked the dealer about a SSQA option, they were not available as of early April when my tractor was assembled. They are supposed to come out later this year. The dealer did say that a xj2025 would fit. Not sure if this was true as I did not pursue getting one. I went to the local kubota dealer last week to pick up some hydro fluid, saw a new BX25. Still very glad I got the MT125.

What type of hst cooler does the mt 125 use

It is fan cooled. There is a small fan mounted midpoint in front of the HST.

I will be buying the LS MT125 TLB with MMM in the next two weeks. I contacted customer service about the quick attach loader mount and I was told it will be dropped all together. The representative told me, it was deemed the tractor would loose to much lift capacity by moving the load forward just a few inches, plus the extra weight of the adapter. Kubota has this same problem with the new BX. The BX can only lift 423 lbs to full lift with the quick attach loader.

Glad to hear some response, thanks for the information. I do wish they would not publish two different numbers for the FEL lift capacity.

I just found out the same information today! You got the more comprehensive answer though.

That makes sense. My XJ2025 came standard with SSQA and I like it but have sometimes felt that while operating lifting power might be somewhat compromised. Can't beat the SSQA when changing from loader bucket to grapple though!
