[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] LS Mtron is introducing the country's first multi-player tractor that can optimize the rear axle width according to the crop.

On the 9th, LS Mtron announced the launch of the 'MT4', a multi-player tractor equipped with the country's first variable rear axle. The MT4 is available in 58 horsepower, 63 horsepower, and 68 horsepower models.

Since the width of ridges and furrows varies depending on the crop being cultivated, the width that the tractor wheels pass through is important. LS Mtron explained that the MT4 breaks the fixed notion that "the rear axle cannot move" by allowing the rear wheel width to be increased or decreased by up to 210mm according to the crop. Additionally, it has the advantage of being able to equip wide or narrow tires depending on the width required for different working environments.

LS Mtron described the MT4 as a multi-player tractor that delivers powerful performance whether working in rice paddies or fields. To maximize rear lift at the highest level in its class, LS Mtron equipped the MT4 with an external hydraulic cylinder. A larger lift allows heavy implements to be mounted stably, enabling a wider variety of tasks. Another feature of the MT4 is the reverse rotation PTO (Power Take Off) function. The reverse rotation PTO provides convenience by helping to tidy soil gathered in corners and preventing crops from tangling during rotary tillage.

LS Mtron also highlighted the enhanced aesthetics achieved through a sleek and robust hood design and a new cabin, creating a dynamic design reminiscent of a sports car. The MT4 is equipped with white LED headlamps and work lights to improve efficiency during nighttime operations. Furthermore, the arched front windshield, extended up to the roof, raises the upper front by about 5 to 10 cm, providing a wider field of view during loader operations. It also features an air suspension seat that offers a comfortable and pleasant ride.

Other features of the MT4 include ▲a leveling control function that maintains the implement’s horizontal position even when the tractor tilts ▲the highest number of gears in its class (28 forward and 28 reverse) allowing optimal gear selection for increased work efficiency ▲a hand clutch enabling easy gear changes without pressing the clutch pedal ▲and low noise levels that reduce fatigue during long hours of operation, ensuring comfortable work.

Kim Yeon-su, President of LS Mtron, said, “The MT4 is an innovative product that applies a variable rear axle, which has never existed in the Korean agricultural machinery market, and upgrades premium specifications and convenience. It will greatly contribute to improving work convenience and productivity for various customers including farmers and livestock farmers. We will lead the domestic agricultural machinery market through the MT4.”
