Who This Fits
The MT230E 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 MT230E come with?
The MT230E runs a Synchro Shuttle gear, 12F/12R. Direction changes happen on a shuttle lever, no clutch-pedal dance during loader work. At this horsepower it's the setup most buyers want for steady fieldwork.
Is a front loader available for the MT230E?
Yes — LS offers a factory-matched front-end loader for the MT230E. 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 MT230E?
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.
