MTD 330 vs MTD 470
Verdict: MTD 330 vs MTD 470
The MTD 330 and the MTD 470 are both lawn tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. MTD 470 leads on rated power with 7 hp against 4 hp. MTD 330 is the lighter machine (73 kg vs 205 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. MTD 470 is the newer design (1969 vs 1964). In short: choose the MTD 470 for outright pulling power, or the MTD 330 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
