Start with the property — not the horsepower

Is the MT226 enough tractor for the work you have planned?

The right tractor depends on more than acreage. Terrain, loader work, mowing, snow, implement size, and how often you use the machine matter just as much.

The acreage ranges shown here are practical shopping guidance, not manufacturer operating limits.

Sweet spot

3–10 Acres

An excellent fit when you want substantially more loader capacity than a sub-compact for gravel, firewood, landscaping, driveway work, snow, mowing, and property improvement.

Strong fit

10–25 Acres

A strong choice for regular loader work, food plots, rotary cutting, tilling, grading, trail maintenance, livestock chores, and year-round acreage work.

Worth a conversation

25+ Acres

The MT226 may still fit many larger properties, but wider implements, heavy livestock work, frequent material handling, or long operating hours may make an MT232, MT242, or larger tractor worth comparing.

A compact tractor with real lifting muscle

When the job list gets heavier, step up to the MT226.

The LS MT226 moves beyond small-compact territory with a 24.6-horsepower Mitsubishi diesel, standard four-wheel drive, hydrostatic power steering, and nearly 2,000 pounds of published loader lift capacity. It is built for Wisconsin property owners who need more material-handling capability, more stability, and more implement capacity without moving into a much larger utility tractor.

Choose a synchro-shuttle configuration or an available three-range hydrostatic transmission depending on how you like to work. The Category I three-point hitch, independent 540-RPM rear PTO, LED lighting, comfortable operator platform, and broad implement compatibility make the MT226 a strong four-season machine for acreage, landscaping, hobby farming, and property maintenance.

One tractor, four seasons

Picture the MT226 on your property.

Facebook shoppers convert when they can see the machine solving jobs they already have. Build the tractor around the work—not the other way around.

MT226 highlights

Compact dimensions. Nearly 2,000 pounds of loader lift.

01

24.6-HP Mitsubishi diesel

The three-cylinder, liquid-cooled Tier 4 diesel delivers compact-tractor power without pushing into a higher-horsepower class. Standard 4WD helps put that power to work across Wisconsin properties.

02

Up to 1,965-lb loader lift

The compatible loader provides a major jump in material-handling capability for gravel, soil, firewood, feed, manure, landscaping material, and snow work.

03

Transmission choices

Choose an available three-range hydrostatic transmission for frequent forward/reverse work or a synchro-shuttle configuration for operators who prefer a gear-drive setup.

04

Independent 540-RPM PTO

Run rotary cutters, tillers, finish mowers, spreaders, chippers, and other PTO-driven implements through the independent rear PTO.

05

1,808-lb hitch lift

The Category I position-control three-point hitch gives the MT226 the rear-implement capacity needed for more demanding acreage, landscaping, and hobby-farm work.
