Overview
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.
