Trend Toward Larger-Scale Farming Due to Aging Population
Following the Dual Clutch Transmission Model
New Release Expands Customer Options

LS Mtron, the industrial machinery and advanced components specialist of LS Group, has launched a new standard model, the MT9 Power Shuttle tractor.


LS Mtron introduced the MT9 dual clutch transmission model, which features advanced technology, in November of last year. On the 19th, the company announced the release of the MT9 Power Shuttle, which maintains the powerful performance of its predecessor while offering customers a wider range of options.


The MT9 Power Shuttle is equipped with a fuel-efficient Italian FPT engine and allows for easy forward and reverse shifting without the need to operate the clutch. With a maximum weight of 5.3 tons and a powerful hydraulic lift capacity of 4,200 kgf, it delivers excellent traction even when operating large implements simultaneously.

Additionally, the proportional control valve enables fast and precise control of the implement’s leveling and tilt. The rear-view camera, which eliminates blind spots, and a total of 12 LED lamps ensure safe operation even at night. The cab and seat suspension systems help minimize fatigue by reducing shocks during long hours of operation.


The MT9 Power Shuttle is available in two versions: 122 horsepower and 132 horsepower.


Recently, due to a declining and aging agricultural population, there has been a notable increase in the scale of farming operations and the number of agricultural corporations. As a result, demand for large tractors capable of cultivating large areas in a short period of time is expanding.



Lee Sangmin, Executive Director and Head of the Tractor Business Division at LS Mtron, stated, "We are confident that the launch of the MT9 Power Shuttle will enhance agricultural productivity and meet the expectations of a wide range of customers."
