Are these numbers invented?

No. Engine HP, weight, and rear lift come from catalog Facts; PTO/hitch only from verified overlays. Missing Facts show as — — we never invent shaft ratings.

How do I check attachments?

Open the Fit checker with LS Tractor MT125 or TYM T224, pick an attachment type and model, and read Pass/Fail/Partial on hitch, PTO, and lift.

LS Tractor MT125 vs TYM T224

Both sit in the Sub-Compact class with similar engine horsepower (24.7 vs 21.5 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

LS Tractor MT125 lists higher engine horsepower (24.7 vs 21.5 HP). That is not a PTO advantage — confirm shaft power separately before buying cutters or tillers.
LS Tractor MT125 has more rear lift (728 vs 679 lb @ 24″) — more headroom for heavier three-point tools. TYM T224 needs lighter implements or stricter ballast discipline.
Hitch differs: LS Tractor MT125 (Category I) vs TYM T224 (Limited Category I). Implement sheets must name the matching class — adapters do not add lift.
LS Tractor MT125 has the higher verified PTO rating (17.2 vs 15.1 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

Choose LS Tractor MT125 when you need more rear lift (728 vs 679 lb @ 24″) for heavier three-point tools, higher verified PTO (17.2 vs 15.1 PTO HP) for cutters, tillers, or snow blowers, or implement sheets that explicitly list Category I.

Choose TYM T224 when you need implement sheets that explicitly list Limited Category I.
