LS Mtron unveiled its new tractor, the 'MT470,' on November 4 at the '2026 Korea International Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Exhibition (KIEMSTA 2026)' held at Daegu EXCO.
According to LS Mtron, the MT470 is set to launch next year and is the next-generation model of the XU series, which has been a bestseller in the 60-horsepower range for over a decade. It retains the chassis platform and transmission of the existing XU series while significantly improving design and convenience based on the needs of agricultural sites.
The tractor is designed for a wide range of applications, from crop farming to livestock operations. It features a low-speed operation function useful for harvesting underground crops and includes a tight-turning capability to assist with narrow field maneuvers. The new design incorporates a hood, LED lamps, and an arched cabin for enhanced visibility.
Additionally, LS Mtron showcased the MT9 autonomous tractor and the EON electric tractor, highlighting advancements in smart agriculture and electrification technology.
Shin Jae-ho, CEO of LS Mtron, stated, "The MT470 is developed to reflect the diverse working environments and needs of domestic farmers. We aim to establish it as the tractor of choice for farmers in Korea, surpassing the XU series."
