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.
As published by the maker
On the price: Neither this maker nor any dealer reachable from here publishes a bare-tractor price for this model — every listing found either says “call for price” or bundles a loader. That is how this brand sells, so expect to get a number by asking a dealer rather than by looking it up.
Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

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.

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.

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.
