MTD 340 vs MTD 390
Verdict: MTD 340 vs MTD 390
The MTD 340 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 340 is the lighter machine (85 kg vs 127 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. MTD 390 is the newer design (1966 vs 1964). In short: choose the MTD 390 for outright pulling power, or the MTD 340 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
