■ Follows recent launch of MT9 Dual Clutch Transmission
■ Retains high power of a large tractor while expanding customer choice
■ Lee Sang-min, managing director of LS Mtron’s Tractor Business Division: “The launch of the MT9 Power Shuttle will enhance agricultural productivity and satisfy diverse customer expectations.”

LS Mtron (CEO Shin Chai-ho), an LS Group company specializing in industrial machinery and advanced components, announced on the 19th that it has increased customer choice by launching a new standard model, the MT9 tractor Power Shuttle.

LS Mtron demonstrated its technological prowess in November 2024 by introducing the MT9 Dual Clutch Transmission, which incorporates advanced technology. The newly launched MT9 Power Shuttle retains the powerful performance of the previous model while providing customers with a more diverse range of options.

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

In addition, a proportional control valve allows for fast and precise control of the horizontal level and working depth of implements, while a rear camera with no blind spots and a total of 12 LED lamps make it possible to work safely at night. Furthermore, the cabin and seat suspension reduce shock during long hours of operation, minimizing fatigue.

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

Recently, the decrease in the farming population and the aging demographic have led to a marked increase in large-scale farming and the number of agricultural corporations. As a result, the demand for tractors capable of cultivating large areas in a short time is expanding, making this a welcome new product for farmers.

Lee Sang-min, Managing Director of LS Mtron’s Tractor Business Division, said, “I am confident that the launch of the MT9 Power Shuttle will enhance agricultural productivity and meet the expectations of diverse customers.”
