73 hp engine · 62 PTO−15% to the shaft

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.

On the price: This maker publishes no price, so the figure comes from dealer listings. Regional dealers price the same machine differently.

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.

What owners say

What they like

  • 6,614 lb of three-point lift at the ball ends is close to double what the same-horsepower MT473 manages, and it is the reason to choose this over the cheaper machine
  • 6,620 lb of tractor gives it the ballast to actually use that hitch, where a lighter 73 hp machine would be lifting its own front wheels
  • 26.4 gal tank is the largest in the LS range below the MT7
  • The CPS build's power shuttle changes direction without the clutch, standard rather than optional
  • 20 forward and 20 reverse speeds give genuinely fine ratio spacing for ground-engaging work

What they complain about

  • The LL6100 loader lifts 3,364 lb, which is actually less than the lighter MT473's LL5001 - the front end was not scaled up with the rest of the tractor
  • Cab only, so there is no cheaper open-station way into this chassis and no low-clearance build for barns
  • 62 hp at the PTO from 73 gross is slightly worse than the MT473 manages on the same engine, the price of the heavier driveline
  • 19.8 GPM total is down on the MT473's 21.1 GPM despite the larger machine
  • LS publishes no price and no loader measuring point
  • At 6,620 lb it will mark soft ground that the MT4 would cross, which matters on pasture in spring

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.

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.

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.
