LS Tractor fields 20 tractors on this list, smallest first. The one that buys the most PTO horsepower per dollar is the LS MT355E at 1.23 PTO hp per $1,000.
LS tractors come from South Korea, where Korea Heavy Industries began building tractors with Fiat in 1977; LS Mtron took over that division and the LS line dates from 1983. LS Tractor USA opened its headquarters and assembly plant in Battleboro, North Carolina in 2009, now assembles in North Carolina, Louisiana and California, and counts more than 350 independent dealers in the US and Canada. LS has also built lower-horsepower tractors for CNH under an OEM agreement, which is why owners recognise some LS compacts in New Holland blue, though the Workmaster 35C and 40C that CNH showed in February 2026 were described as designed in-house.
The engine changes as the frame grows. The MT1 sub-compacts (MT122, MT125) use Yanmar three-cylinders held under 25 hp, the XJ2025H a Mitsubishi, and the MT2 compacts a mix of the two; LS restyled the MT2 in early 2024. The MT3 and MT4 run LS's own common-rail engines, and in the MT3 range H means hydrostatic, C a cab and HC both. The MT4 was redone in May 2024 at 63 and 73 hp with a cab 15 percent roomier, and the MT7 added the 74 hp MT774 in April 2024 below the 100 hp MT7101.
Every LS gets two years of bumper-to-bumper cover, and most models six years of limited powertrain cover, parts and labor, with no deductible. Owners buy on money: reported deals bundle the tractor, loader and several implements at zero percent over ten years, often thousands under a Kubota or Deere. The cautions are the dealer (experienced buyers say plenty of LS dealerships are thin, and one with a real parts and service department is worth a few dollars a month more) and, on the smallest machines, stock front tires and a loader joystick linkage that draw repeat complaints.

LS Tractor
Smallest machine LS sells in the US, and the only one under 1,500 lb. The Yanmar 3TNV76F stays under the 25 hp emissions line so there is no DPF to regenerate, and the 1,008 lb loader rating is unusually strong for a tractor this light.

LS Tractor
Yanmar's 3TNV80F under the hood is the reason to look at the top of the MT1 line: 24.7 hp kept deliberately under the 25 hp emissions threshold, so there is no diesel particulate filter and no regeneration cycle to sit through. LS publishes no price, so the figure here comes from dealer books at around $18,600.

LS Tractor
LS builds its own engine, transmission and loader, which is how a 24.7 hp compact turns up with a 1,896 lb hitch - more rear lift than a Deere 2025R or Kubota B2601. Standard equipment is unusually complete for what it costs.

LS Tractor
LS's answer to the gap between a sub-compact and a real compact: Mitsubishi's S3L2 three-cylinder, 18.5 hp at the PTO, and 1,433 lb of rear lift on a 1,609 lb frame that still parks like a sub-compact. Dealer books put it around $21,300, since LS prints no price of its own.

LS Tractor
A full 3,007 lb compact frame and a 1,965 lb loader, kept under 25 gross hp so it dodges the particulate filter entirely - that combination is what the MT2E line exists to sell. Priced here as the 12F/12R gear build, which returns 19.2 PTO hp against 17.1 for the hydrostatic.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
Stepping past 25 hp buys a much bigger loader rather than a much bigger tractor: the LL3303 lifts 2,506 lb, up 541 lb on the MT226 below it, from the same 100 cu in Yanmar block and the same 10.6-gallon tank. Three-range hydrostatic, open station, and no published price anywhere from LS.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
Four cylinders and 133.6 cu in at the top of the MT2 frame, naturally aspirated and common-rail, for 42.5 hp and 34.8 at the PTO - a third more power than the MT232 on a chassis only 84 lb heavier. LS prints no price; dealers put the open-station hydrostatic in the low thirties.

LS Tractor
LS's value line answer to the 45 hp class: a Category 2 hitch rated 2,910 lb on a 3,724 lb ROPS-only frame, with an 8x8 synchro shuttle and no cab anywhere in the range. The MT345HE swaps the gearbox for a three-range hydrostatic at the same horsepower.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
Ten more horsepower than the MT345E on exactly the same 3,724 lb frame, hitch, loader and tank - LS charges about two thousand dollars for the difference and changes nothing else. The MT355HE substitutes a three-range hydrostatic and gains PTO power rather than losing it.

LS Tractor
Turbocharging and a Category 2 hitch are what the MT3 frame adds over the MT2: 52 hp out of 114.7 cu in, 44.2 at the PTO through the hydrostatic, and 2,755 lb of rear lift where the 42.5 hp MT242 manages 1,808. Sixteen-speed shuttle and a power shuttle are both catalogued at the same hp point.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
The only place in the MT3 range where 57 hp, a three-range hydrostatic and a sealed cab arrive together. HC is the hydrostatic cab build both dealer lists quote; the open-station MT357H runs several thousand less, and a PCT power-shuttle version sits alongside both.

LS Tractor
First genuinely big LS in the range: a four-cylinder L4C25-T, 21.1 GPM of pump, a 24.3-gallon tank and 5,313 lb of tractor. It is also one of the few machines anywhere that publishes its 3-point rating measured 24 in behind the hitch rather than at the ball ends, so 3,483 lb is a conservative number.
Spec sheet & owner notesLS Tractor
Ten horsepower over the MT463 on the same L4C25-T block, hitch and LL5001 loader - the MT4 frame's top rating. CPS is the sealed-cab power-shuttle build, which is the configuration both dealer price lists quote; a ROPS 16x16 synchro MT473 exists and runs several thousand less.
Spec sheet & owner notesLS Tractor
Same 73 hp L4C25-T as the MT473, bolted into a far heavier chassis: 6,620 lb, a 20x20 gearbox and a Category II hitch rated 6,614 lb - nearly double the MT4's. LS builds no ROPS version, so a cab is not an option here, it is the machine.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
7,827 lb, a 206.7 cu in four-cylinder and a 24x24 power shuttle at the bottom of LS's biggest chassis, sharing its frame and LL8100 loader with the 100 hp MT7101. Only 73.7 hp, so it is the cheap way into a tractor built two classes above its engine.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
Biggest tractor LS sells in the US, and the only one in this catalog with a 24x24 power shuttle and an 8,378 lb hitch. Cab, heat and air conditioning are standard because there is no open-station version - and at 100.6 hp it sits right at the ceiling of what counts as a utility tractor here.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
Turbocharged common-rail at 42 hp, with 2,755 lb at the ball ends and a choice of 16-speed synchro shuttle or three-range hydrostatic. LS supplies the same driveline to New Holland's Workmaster compacts, which is worth knowing when you go looking for parts.
Spec sheet & owner notesLS Tractor
Entry to LS's MT3 frame, and the cheapest way into its turbocharged 1.9-litre common-rail three-cylinder. Lifts 2,185 lb at the loader on 3,285 lb of tractor, which is an unusually strong front end for 35 hp - the MT2 models below it are heavier and lift less.
Spec sheet & owner notesLS Tractor
Cheapest sealed cab LS sells, and the HC suffix is not optional - this model only comes that way. Same 2,185 lb LL3116 loader and 1,808 lb hitch as the ROPS MT335H below it, with 40 hp, a larger 12.4-gallon tank and 376 lb more weight to carry the cab.
Spec sheet & owner notes
LS Tractor
Where the MT3 range crosses into Category 2 hitches: 2,755 lb at the ball ends against 1,808 on the MT340HC below it, for 7 more horsepower. Sold as ROPS or cab and as a 16x16 synchro shuttle or a three-range hydrostatic, and the hydrostatic is the one that puts more power to the PTO.
