MTD 330 vs MTD 390
Verdict: MTD 330 vs MTD 390
The MTD 330 and the MTD 390 are both lawn tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. MTD 390 leads on rated power with 6 hp against 4 hp. MTD 330 is the lighter machine (73 kg vs 127 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
