LS Tractor MT125 vs TYM T2025P
Both sit in the Sub-Compact class with similar engine horsepower (24.7 vs 24.7 HP). Below: catalog Facts for engine horsepower, weight, and rear lift; PTO and hitch only when verified. The decision points call out who leads on each Fact — engine HP is not a substitute for PTO HP.
Engine horsepower is not PTO horsepower. Missing Facts show as — — we never invent shaft ratings.
How to choose
- Engine horsepower is essentially even (24.7 HP) — decide on lift, PTO, and implements, not the hood number alone.
- TYM T2025P is heavier (2,207 vs 1,444 lb operating weight) — usually more stability and traction; LS Tractor MT125 stays easier to maneuver in tight yards.
- LS Tractor MT125 has more rear lift (728 vs 560 lb @ 24″) — more headroom for heavier three-point tools. TYM T2025P needs lighter implements or stricter ballast discipline.
- Both list Category I — hitch class alone does not settle the matchup; lift and PTO still decide implement fit.
- TYM T2025P has the higher verified PTO rating (18.3 vs 17.2 PTO HP) — that is the Fact for cutters, tillers, and snow blowers, not engine HP.
- Next step: open the Fit checker with the tractor that wins on your heaviest implement, and screen hitch, PTO, and lift against that attachment.
When to pick each
