2026 LS MT468CPS 68 HP Cab Utility Tractor (Power Shuttle | Loader Package) For Sale — Sequim, WA & Olympic Peninsula

The new 2026 LS MT468CPS 68 HP Climate-Controlled Cab Utility Tractor (Loader Package) is an industrial-class agricultural flagship engineered specifically for Pacific Northwest cattle ranches, commercial hay production, timber acreage, equestrian facilities, and dirt operations across Western Washington. Available now at Leitz Farm Supply & Equipment Sales in Sequim, Washington, this 68 HP workhorse combines a high-torque 68.0 gross HP 4-cylinder turbocharged CRDI diesel engine with an electro-hydraulic 16F x 16R Power Shuttle transmission, standard push-button 4WD, a factory climate-controlled luxury cab, dual factory rear remote hydraulic valves (2 pairs / 4 ports), a heavy Category II 3-point hitch, and the class-dominating LS LL5106 Skid Steer Quick-Attach (SSQA) front loader.

While standard utility tractors in the 65-to-75 HP segment cut costs by mounting basic bolt-on cabs over lighter-gauge utility platforms, the LS MT468CPS is constructed on a massive structural cast-iron chassis weighing over 5,500 lbs bare—and scaling over 7,400 lbs completely outfitted with the factory LL5106 loader, 78-inch bucket, and rear fluid ballast. This true agricultural mass provides the low center of gravity, axle strength, and ground-hugging stability required to handle double-stacked 4x5 round bales, push through wet snowdrifts, and pull 10-foot dual-spindle cutters without wheel slippage, chassis flex, or front-end lightness. Outfitted with heavy-duty R14 hybrid crossover radial tires, the MT468CPS claws through saturated glacial clay while eliminating turf tearing and preventing premature wear on gravel roads and asphalt yards. For landowners and operators throughout Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, and Grays Harbor counties, the MT468CPS delivers clutchless forward-to-reverse shuttle cycling, class-dominating 3,481 lb loader lift capacity, and 60.0 continuous PTO horsepower. Every tractor package at Leitz Farm Supply includes a comprehensive factory pre-delivery inspection (PDI), 50-point hydraulic check, linkage calibration, fluids topped, and factory-authorized warranty backing from our certified Sequim dealership.

Heavy Cast-Iron Chassis, 16F x 16R Power Shuttle & 68 HP Turbocharged CRDI Power

With 16 forward and 16 reverse synchronized speeds, operators can dial in the exact working ground speed needed for baling, rotary mowing, loader cycling, or road transport up to travel speed without stopping or foot clutching.

• Push-Button 4WD, Rear Differential Lock & Wet Multi-Disc Brakes: Electro-hydraulic push-button four-wheel drive paired with a mechanical foot-engaged rear differential lock locks both rear drive wheels simultaneously to claw through thick Olympic Peninsula mud, wet pasture clay, and steep logging roads. Fully enclosed internal wet multi-disc brakes provide reliable, maintenance-free stopping power completely sealed away from grit, mud, and water.

• Dual Hydraulic Pump System (Up to 17.9 GPM Total Flow): Built with two dedicated hydraulic circuits delivering up to 17.9 GPM total flow—11.9 GPM for implement hydraulics and a separate 6.0 GPM pump for hydrostatic power steering. This high-capacity dual-pump architecture ensures fast loader cycle times without robbing power or steering responsiveness when maneuvering heavy front-end loads in tight barn alleys.

• Industrial Cast-Iron Axles & Heavy Chassis Weight: The solid cast-iron front and rear axle housings, structural cast clutch housing, and heavy-gauge steel subframe create an authoritative 5,500+ lb bare foundation. This mass delivers superior drawbar pull, ground traction, and front-axle stability when handling heavy front-end loader loads over uneven pasture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What transmission powers the LS MT468CPS?

The MT468CPS features a commercial-grade 16F x 16R Power Shuttle transmission. It utilizes an electro-hydraulic shuttle lever mounted on the steering column, allowing clutchless forward-to-reverse direction changes with the flick of a finger.

How much can the LS LL5106 front loader lift?

The LS LL5106 front loader delivers an exceptional 3,481 lb lift capacity at the pivot pins to a maximum height of 115.7 inches, backed by an aggressive 5,483 lb breakout force to dig into packed soil, pit-run gravel, and large round bales.

Does the MT468CPS come standard with rear hydraulic remotes?

Yes. The LS MT468CPS includes two pairs (four ports) of factory rear remote valves with detents standard from the factory, ready to operate hydraulic top links, dump trailers, batwing mowers, or grapple implements.

What are the benefits of R14 hybrid radial tires?

R14 hybrid crossover radial tires combine the traction of an agricultural tire with the durability of an industrial tire and the gentle footprint of a turf tire. They provide exceptional grip in wet dirt and snow while preventing pasture scuffing and resisting premature wear on gravel roads and asphalt.

What size trailer do I need to haul the MT468CPS?

Because the tractor, cab, loader, and ballast weigh over 7,400 lbs, you will need a commercial tandem-axle equipment trailer with at least an 82-inch to 102-inch wide deck, 20-to-24-foot length, and a minimum 12,000 lb to 14,000 lb GVWR.

Can Leitz Farm Supply add Rim Guard liquid ballast to the rear tires?

Yes. As an authorized Rim Guard dealer, Leitz Farm Supply installs non-toxic, non-corrosive Rim Guard "Beet Juice" liquid tire ballast directly into the rear tires, adding approximately 1,000 to 1,200+ lbs of low-center-of-gravity ballast to maximize traction and loader counterbalance.
