Read articles →This is an owner's early-impressions walkaround, not a formal review, made after roughly 30 hours on a newly purchased LS MT125 with loader and backhoe. The creator compares specs (horsepower, lift height/capacity, backhoe dig depth, breakout force) against Kubota, Deere, Mahindra, Cub Cadet, Massey, and New Holland, and discusses dealer support tradeoffs. It skips hands-on demonstration, focusing instead on spec comparison and buying advice.
Posted by an owner-operator, OldChevy4x4, sharing unsponsored personal impressions from their own property shortly after purchase.
The LS MT125 has a lift height of 72 inches off the loader, which is higher than both Kubota and Cub Cadet.
The backhoe digs down to 77, nearly 78 inches, deeper than Cub Cadet, Kubota, Massey, and Deere.
No. The same factory that builds LS also makes compacts and sub-compacts for New Holland, Case, Farmall, Case IH Farm, Cub, Farm Track, McCormick, and Montana.
Shop for a dealer with a competent service department, not just the lowest price, since service after the sale and warranty priority depend on where you bought it.
