Not every Northern Colorado property needs 50-plus horsepower. If you’re managing 10 to 50 acres — running a rotary cutter through pasture, doing serious loader work with a grapple, clearing snow off a long drive, or tilling ground for a large garden — the MT335H gives you everything you actually need in a proven, capable package. It runs the LS L3C19-T turbocharged CRDI diesel producing 35 gross HP and 28 PTO HP, paired with a 12×12 Synchro Shuttle transmission that lets experienced operators change direction without stopping and maintain precise ground speed across 12 gears. The 2,185-lb loader lift and two full sets of rear remote valves come standard — not as add-ons. The MT335H is the entry point into the MT3 series, and it arrives fully equipped for a full day of real work on a Front Range property.
Available exclusively at Legacy Tractors in Fort Collins — the only LS dealer in Northern Colorado.

Frequently Asked Questions
LS MT335H
What makes the MT335H a strong value compared to other 35 HP compact tractors?
The MT335H arrives with features that buyers in this class typically have to pay extra for. Two full sets of rear remote valves with detent are included as standard — that is four hydraulic outlets at the rear ready for a grapple, hydraulic top link, or angle blade from day one, with no add-on cost. Compare that to competitors who charge $400 to $800 to add remotes after the fact. The 12×12 Synchro Shuttle, hydrostatic power steering, tilt column, foldable ROPS, rear work light, and drawbar are all standard as well. The result is a tractor that comes fully equipped for real work at a price point that consistently surprises buyers who have been shopping Kubota and John Deere. Legacy Tractors in Fort Collins stocks the MT335H — call (970) 482-4803 to see it in person.
How does the Synchro Shuttle transmission work and is it the right choice for my property?
The MT335H’s 12×12 Synchro Shuttle lets you change direction — forward to reverse — without stopping the tractor by simply moving the shuttle lever. A foot clutch handles gear range changes, giving you precise ground speed control across 12 speeds in each direction. For operators who have run gear tractors before, it feels natural within the first hour. For loader work, box scraping, snow removal, and PTO implement use at a set pace, shuttle shift is an excellent match — it keeps you in full control of ground speed while delivering direct, efficient power from the engine to the drivetrain. If you prefer the simplicity of dual-pedal HST with no clutch, the MT340HC covers that option and Legacy Tractors stocks both. Come run each one and decide what fits your workflow — call (970) 482-4803 to set up a demo.
Does the MT335H have a DPF and what do I need to know about regen before I buy?
The MT335H uses the L3C19-T Tier 4 turbocharged diesel, which includes a DPF. The good news is that regen is straightforward to manage and most owners running the tractor correctly report it rarely interrupts their day. When you operate at 1,800 RPM or higher during normal work — which is simply how a working tractor should be run — the regen cycle happens automatically approximately every 50 hours, lasts 15 to 18 minutes, and you can keep working through it the entire time. The indicator light comes on, you hold RPM up, it completes, and you move on. Using quality ULSD fuel from a high-volume truck stop and keeping the tractor at working RPM during actual use covers the vast majority of regen management. All Tier 4 emissions components including the DPF carry a federally mandated 5-year warranty on top of the standard coverage. Legacy Tractors walks every new owner through the DPF system at delivery so there are no surprises — call (970) 482-4803.
How does the MT335H compare to the MT342H — should I step up?
Both the MT335H and MT342H share the same proven L3C19-T engine block — the MT342H is simply tuned higher to 42 HP from that same displacement. Many buyers specifically appreciate that the MT335H runs this engine at a lower stress level, which contributes to long-term durability for hobby and light commercial use. The practical difference between the two models comes down to loader and hitch capacity. The MT335H lifts 2,185 lbs at the loader and 1,808 lbs at the hitch. The MT342H steps up to 2,633 lbs at the loader and 2,755 lbs at the hitch on a heavier overall frame. For rotary cutting, snow clearing, general loader cycles, and property maintenance on 10 to 30 acres the MT335H handles it all comfortably. If your work involves consistent grapple cycles, heavy pallet fork loads, or you are planning to run larger implements over time, the MT342H is a worthwhile step up. Legacy Tractors stocks both — call (970) 482-4803 to demo them side by side and see which one fits your actual workload.
What size rotary cutter and implements fit the MT335H?
With 28 PTO horsepower, the MT335H is a strong match for a 5-foot rotary cutter in brush and pasture conditions — the widely used guideline is 5 PTO HP per foot of cutter, putting the MT335H’s sweet spot at 5 feet for sustained heavy work. A 5-foot cutter on this tractor works without straining the machine. A 60 to 72-inch finish mower handles maintained turf and hay ground very well. A 60-inch tiller pairs well with the frame and power for garden and pasture renovation work. Box blades in the 72 to 84-inch range are well matched to the 1,808-lb hitch lift. Post hole diggers up to 18-inch augers handle most Front Range soil conditions effectively. For a front-mount snow blower, the mid-PTO field option is required. Legacy Tractors can confirm the right implement size for your specific property — call (970) 482-4803.
Will the MT335H start and perform reliably through Colorado winters?
Absolutely. The MT335H includes a standard glow plug preheat system specifically for cold-weather starting, and the turbocharged L3C19-T reaches operating temperature faster than naturally aspirated engines — an advantage for both cold starts and DPF regen completion in winter conditions. For reliable operation through Northern Colorado winters, use winter-blend ULSD or add an anti-gel additive when temperatures drop below 20°F, switch to 10W-30 engine oil below 14°F per the operator manual, and let the preheat indicator fully cycle before cranking. For extended cold storage, a battery tender and engine block heater are smart additions. Legacy Tractors includes winter prep guidance at every delivery so your tractor is ready for Colorado conditions from day one — call (970) 482-4803.
Do I need rear ballast on the MT335H for loader and grapple work?
Rear ballast makes the MT335H a more capable and more stable machine for loader-intensive work. At 3,285 lbs the base weight is solid, and adding rear counterweight when running pallet forks or a grapple keeps the rear tires planted, protects the front axle, and improves braking — all of which make you more productive and safer on uneven Colorado terrain. Options include fluid-filled rear tires, bolt-on wheel weights, a rear ballast box, or a heavy rear implement like a box blade that does double duty as useful equipment and ballast at the same time. Legacy Tractors configures and installs ballast packages before delivery so your tractor arrives set up correctly for your implements — call (970) 482-4803 to discuss what makes sense for your property.
