LS Mtron announced Thursday that it is participating in EIMA 2026, an international agricultural machinery fair running from Tuesday through Saturday in Bologna, Italy.

At the exhibition, LS Mtron unveiled three new Europe-focused products — the compact MT1 and MT3 tractors and the utility MT4 tractor — along with a total of eight tractor models on display.

The MT1, which LS Mtron has sold in North America to hobby farmers, is making its European market debut at the show.

The MT1 features a two-pedal system for easy speed and direction control, and a high-back seat designed for operator comfort. With a lifting capacity of 450 kgf, it can be paired with mowers and other attachments for lawn and garden maintenance.

The MT3 is designed for Europe's vineyards and narrow orchards in major wine-producing regions. Its 1.4-meter-wide body allows it to move easily between trees and crops, and it comes equipped with a cab for year-round comfort and four-wheel drive.

The MT4 is built for a wide range of tasks, from field farming to livestock operations. It comes standard with a speed-turn function to aid maneuvering in tight spaces, and also features an ultra-low-speed mode suited for harvesting root crops such as potatoes.

LS Mtron also displayed the MT7 autonomous tractor and the EON electric tractor, showcasing its technology in smart farming and electrification.

LS Mtron's tractor business traces its roots to a 1977 technology partnership with Italy's Fiat, and the company is the only South Korean tractor maker to have participated in EIMA for two consecutive years.

The company plans to release a new Europe-tailored model every year through 2030, steadily expanding its product lineup for the region.

"Building on 50 years of accumulated experience, we will lead change in global agriculture beyond Europe and write a 100-year history for our tractor business," said LS Mtron President Shin Jae-ho.
