Where the documents disagree.

PTO horsepower by transmission

LS’s 2025 brochure prints 48.4 PTO hp under the MT357 and MT357C (gear) columns and 45.6 under MT357H and MT357HC (HST). The current MT357 model page lists “48.4 Hydr / 45.6 Gear”, the reverse. The 2022 comparison sheet gives “Basic / Optional Transmission” as 48.4 / 45.6, matching the brochure.

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 45.6 and 48.4 PTO hp is not settled by these sources.

Three-point hitch category

The 2025 brochure lists CAT II for MT352 and MT357; the current MT357 model page says “CAT 2”, the 2022 comparison sheet lists Category 2 for MT357H/HC/C, and the September 2025 owner manual lists “CAT.2, in conformity with ISO 730:2014”.

All reviewed sources agree on Category 2, which is used here. Category 1-only attachments screen as a hitch mismatch unless a dealer confirms Category 1 lift arms or an approved conversion in writing.

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.
