Who This Fits
The MT226E fits owners whose ground has outgrown a sub-compact: heavier loader work, rougher terrain, bigger implements on the 3-point. It's still small enough to store in a garage bay and trailer without a heavy truck. If you're on the fence between this and something smaller, our advice is almost always the same: buy the bigger one.
Common Questions
What transmission does the MT226E come with?
The MT226E runs a hydrostatic transmission (HST). No clutching, just pedal-controlled forward and reverse. It's the easiest transmission to learn on and the most common choice for loader work, mowing, and general chores.
Is a front loader available for the MT226E?
Yes — LS offers a factory-matched front-end loader for the MT226E. You'll find the exact loader model and its published specs in the Factory Attachments section above. Ask us for the current loader package and pricing when you request a quote.
What warranty comes with a new MT226E?
New LS tractors carry LS's factory warranty, with powertrain coverage that runs longer than the base warranty. Exact terms can change by model year and promotion, so we'll confirm the current coverage when we quote your unit.
