LS MT347 gear (synchro shuttle) open-station ROPS tractor, MT3 Series, as listed in the July 2025 U.S. brochure, the current model page and the 2022 LS comparison sheet. The MT347C cab version lists the same power and a 4,380-lb weight. No model-year or serial cutoff is established.
Engine power
47 hp · 47.0 gross engine hp at 2,600 rpm in the 2025 MT3 brochure (“Engine HP (gross)”), with no SAE standard named; the September 2025 owner manual lists 35.1 kW at 2,600 rpm. This is not PTO power.
Rear hitch
Category 1 in the 2025 brochure and LS comparison sheets; “CAT 2” on the current model page and “CAT.2” in the September 2025 owner manual. Position and draft control; telescoping lower links
Lift at 24 inches

LS MT347H three-range hydrostatic open-station ROPS tractor, MT3 Series, as listed in the July 2025 U.S. brochure, the current model page and the 2022 LS comparison sheet. The MT347HC cab version lists the same power and a 4,446-lb weight. No model-year or serial cutoff is established.

Hydraulics
8.2 gpm implement pump; 13.7 gpm total including 5.5 gpm steering on the HST ROPS model (15.0 gpm with 6.8 gpm steering on the HST cab). Two pairs of rear remotes listed as standard on ROPS tractors; outlet flow is not published.
Pressure
17.0 MPa (2,466 psi) system pressure in the September 2025 owner manual (p7-4). Rear-remote outlet flow is not published; confirm it with the dealer.
LS’s 2025 brochure prints 39.9 PTO hp under the MT347 and MT347C (gear) columns and 37.6 under MT347H and MT347HC (HST). The current MT347 model page lists “39.9 Hydr / 37.6 Gear”, the reverse. The 2022 comparison sheet gives “Basic / Optional Transmission” as 37.6 / 39.9, matching the web page.
This profile uses the brochure’s column assignment, the newest dated document that assigns PTO power by column, and flags every result that depends on it. Ask the dealer for the PTO rating of the actual serial and transmission; a decision that changes between 37.6 and 39.9 PTO hp is not settled by these sources.
Three-point hitch category
The 2025 brochure lists CAT I for MT342 and MT347 and CAT II for MT352 and MT357. The current MT347 model page specification says “CAT 2”, and its feature list mentions extendable lower links for “Category 2 implements”. The September 2025 owner manual lists the three-point linkage as “CAT.2, in conformity with ISO 730:2014” for all four MT3 models.
Both categories are carried as possible, so Category 1 and Category 2 attachments are screened but none is cleared on hitch evidence. Ask the dealer which lift arms, balls and top-link pin the tractor has, and what bushings or adapters a quote includes.
Three-point lift capacity
The brochure, model-page specification tables and both comparison sheets give 2,755 lb at the hitch (link) ends, and the comparison sheets mark lift 24 inches behind the pins “np”. The model-page feature list gives a “hitch lift capacity of 1,808 lbs.” with no measurement point. The September 2025 owner manual lists 2,469 lbf 24 inches behind the lift point and 2,756 lbf at the lower-link ends.
The manual’s 2,469 lb is used as the 24-inch lift and 2,755 lb as the link-end figure. The unscoped 1,808-lb feature-list figure is not used.
Gear transmission speeds
The 2025 brochure and 2022 comparison sheet list a 16F/16R gear (synchro shuttle) transmission; the current model-page feature list describes a “Standard 12×12 Synchro Shuttle”.
The specification-table figure (16F/16R) is used. Confirm the transmission on the actual tractor; it does not change an attachment screen here.
