During the annual meeting of its dealer network in Itatuba (SP), LS Tractor announced the launch of the MT4 70 tractor. The model, scheduled to officially debut at Agrishow 2025 (between April 28 and May 2, in Ribeirão Preto, SP), brings together features designed to offer performance in various operations in the field.
According to the information we have gathered, the MT4 70 has a four-cylinder LS Diesel engine, aligned with the Tier 3 emissions standard, which has 62 hp of power and maximum torque of 202,6 Nm. The system has electronic protection, which reduces the risk of damage to the equipment.
The LS transmission includes 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds, and can reach 32 forward and 16 reverse speeds when equipped with the creeper system, which allows working speeds from 160 meters per hour. The tractor also incorporates a Synchro reverser, which allows the direction of travel to be changed by touching a single lever.
At the front, the MT4 70 features a new Heavy Duty LS front transmission with a 2,04-meter wheelbase, a feature that, according to the brand, provides the smallest turning radius in the category of tractors with approximately 70 hp. The hydraulic system offers a lifting capacity of 1.655 kg, accompanied by two remote control valves, one of which has a variable flow rate from 0 to 35 liters per minute.
Regarding the PTO (power take-off), the MT4 70 reaches 58 hp on the shaft and allows manual or automatic activation. There are five rotation options: 540, 540E, 540SE, 750 and 1000 rpm.
The tractor will be available in both the ROPs (with protective structure) and cabin versions. According to the manufacturer, the MT4 70 stands out for having the highest load capacity and stability in its segment, in addition to including measures related to operational comfort. At Agrishow 2025, LS Tractor should present more details about sales and after-sales, as well as the configurations of accessories and implements compatible with the new launch.
The MT4 70's design has won awards in South Korea, where it is already being sold. It features bold lines and modern features, which will likely be part of the brand's upcoming launches.
Before being launched, the tractor underwent field tests and validations, working mainly on coffee plantations in Brazil.
