The LS MT342C delivers 42 HP and 35.7 PTO HP from the turbocharged LS L3C19-T CRDI diesel on the MT3 platform — F16×R16 Synchro Shuttle transmission, 2,396 lb. loader lift, Category 2 3-point hitch at 2,755 lb., two pairs of remote valves with detent standard, 8.2 GPM implement pump, position and draft hydraulic control, factory heat/AC cab, mechanical 4WD, independent 540 PTO, and a 12.4-gallon fuel tank at 4,446 lbs.
Buyers cross-shopping the MT242HC will see similar horsepower at a lower price — but the MT342C is a different frame class entirely. The Category 2 hitch lifts 947 more pounds than the MT242HC’s Category 1. The 16×16 transmission gives you four more gear ranges for precise implement and loader control. The MT3 frame carries wider ag tires, a longer wheelbase, and nearly 650 more pounds of machine. If your work is pushing the limits of what a compact can do on Colorado ground, the MT342C is where the MT2 platform stops being enough.
