LS Tractor Kicks of 2026 with a Strong Presence Across North America’s Biggest Farm Shows
LS Tractor has hit the ground running in 2026, connecting with farmers, dealers, industry partners and LS owners across the U.S. and Canada. From Quebec to California, each event offered a chance for visitors to explore equipment, meet LS experts, and get a first look at what’s ahead for the brand. We shook hands, swapped stories, handed out plenty of LS hats, and showcased a wide variety of LS Tractors built to work as hard as the people who run them.
Across all five shows, LS Tractor welcomed thousands of attendees and displayed a range of tractors designed for every kind of operation. This year also marked an exciting milestone: the first public preview of our new MT2RE Series – a compact tractor built for value-conscious customers who want capability without compromise. With a 35-40 HP diesel engine, hydrostatic transmission, steel fenders and a simplified performance-focused design, the MT2RE is all about giving customers more tractor for their money. And judging by the reactions at NFMS and WAE, people were excited to explore the new machine that delivers maximum value.
SIMAQ – Quebec Industry and Agricultural Machinery Show

We kicked off the year in Quebec City at SIMAQ, Canada’s largest indoor farm show, and the energy was incredible. With more than 1,550 booths and over 30,000 visitors, the show brought together farmers, dealers and ag professionals from across the region.
Our booth featured a strong lineup, including the MT226HE, MT7101, MT242, MT125, MT352, MT573, MT225S, and the new MT473 Loader. Farmers from across Eastern Canada stopped by to talk tractors, compare specs, and share how LS equipment is helping them tackle tough jobs in tough climates.
SIMAQ has been a cornerstone event since 1993, and this year proved once again why it’s a must attend for anyone serious about agricultural machinery and a key stop for LS Tractor’s Canadian presence.
