MTD 360 vs MTD 390
Verdict: MTD 360 vs MTD 390
The MTD 360 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 360 is the lighter machine (99 kg vs 127 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
