Common Questions
What transmission does the MT342 come with?
The MT342 comes more than one way: Synchro Shuttle F16xR16 / Hydrostatic 3-range. HST is the easiest to learn and the favorite for loader work and mowing. The gear option costs less and pulls steadily all day. We'll help you pick when we quote it.
Is a front loader available for the MT342?
Yes — LS offers a factory-matched front-end loader for the MT342. 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 MT342?
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.
