Buying Advice TLB LS125 or Massey 1720/1725

[LS Tractor Owner]

You mention the 225 is over your weight limit.... just wanting to clarify that there are 2 LS MT225. There is the MT225 E (which is a compact tractor size) about twice the weight / size of the 125. Then there is the NEW MT225 - S.... much, much, smaller, basically in between sizes. Here is a couple pictures of my MT225E and my neighbors MT225-S.

My total capacity leaves 6k for total payload. Reserving 1k for the suff I will haul in the truck... 5k maximum. Since I have two long passes I want to stay below that number. I calculate the trailer will be 2k, leaving less than 3k for the tractor. I think a sub compact will be close to 2000... 2500 pounds.

I am leaning hard to the MF1725. I like the higher PTO hp.

I did see the XJ2025 and the larger 225. I just felt they were too close to my weight limit.
