Review of mini-tractors MTZ Belarus

Mini tractors have become very popular in various areas of economic activity. This technique is "all-weather" and solves various problems not only in the agricultural sector, but also in the utilities of many cities and even at airports. These small cars are dynamic and powerful enough to do a wide variety of jobs. Some of the best mini-tractors are products of Belarusian manufacturers.

The Republic of Belarus produces excellent tractor equipment, which is exported to dozens of countries around the world. Small tractors are especially in demand for private farms, garden associations and municipal services of cities.

As an example, we can name one of the popular mini-tractor models - Belarus series "132", which has a small size and good speed. It can move on any rough terrain and off-road. Only such a "baby" weighs half a ton and performs almost any job: from snow removal to harvesting potatoes and beetroot.

Many mini-units are equipped with Japanese Honda engines, so they compare favorably:

• good cross-country ability;
• unpretentiousness and ease of maintenance;
• economical consumption of fuel and lubricants.

The "132" tractor can pull a trailer weighing more than seven hundred kilograms without any particular difficulties, equally successfully both off-road and on an asphalt road. The drive can be changed, making it 4 or 2 wheels, depending on the situation.

The presence of comfortable conditions for the tractor driver is also important. For many hours of a work shift, the operator practically does not get tired on such units.

The machine also has an excellent transmission with a high strength factor, the tractor can work in all latitudes. It is also worth noting that it can be controlled through the hydraulic drive of the attachment.

Summarizing all of the above, one can note such important features of Belarusian mini-tractors as:

• compactness;
• low price;
• reliability;
• ease of maintenance;
• profitability.

MTZ-082 is a small tractor that can perform a variety of functions. By the nature of its activity, it can be called universal. The model began to be produced forty years ago.

The Belarus mini-tractor is especially effective when using attachments. Here are some of the most popular samples (there are more than five dozen in total). The active cutter 0070B is used to move any soil. The site can have an angle of inclination up to 11 degrees. It is also possible to use the FR-0070B cutter, which can work on uneven areas with small angles of inclination (up to 11 degrees). The cutter is immersed in the ground no more than 9 cm.

Harrows BT-1.6 are popular among farmers, which can be used to crush clods of soil. Also, this tool is successfully used to eliminate the crust on the ground and harrow seedlings. To cover furrows with soil, this linkage is also quite suitable.

Sometimes, instead of the harrow, a KTD 1.3 cultivator is used; it can be used for cutting weeds.

The plow is effective, which also performs the work of the cutter, this mechanism is especially in demand when the soil is too dense, and an ordinary cutter cannot sink into the ground. The capture width is 26 cm, the land can be cultivated at a speed of 6 km / h.

The universal plow L108 is a three-body plow, there is also a two-body PLN230 unit. Belarusian-made tractors easily work with any two-, three-circuit plows, which most often have a reversible share. The immersion depth is up to 19 cm. At the beginning of work, it is imperative to check the attachment of the attachment.

KTM2 mowers are also very popular among the mounted equipment. This unit is used for:

• mowing grass;
• eradication of weeds;
• uprooting shrubs.

Working speed on level ground - 8.2 km / h.

The rake makes it possible to collect hay. In this case, the capture width is 2 meters, which makes it possible to use the unit on large areas. The potato planter KTC-1T is also in demand by the villagers, especially when processing large areas. Belarusian tractors can handle at least seven hectares of land per hour.

The potato digger KKM1 is also used for harvesting. The soil layer is cultivated to a depth of 20 cm, while the soil is crushed, and the roots remain in the furrow.

The snow blower is used on large areas. The layers are picked up with a special cutting knife. During operation, the snow is sent to the pulley and rotor and is thrown to the side of the road at a distance of up to 11 meters. The throw distance can be adjusted by changing the chute.

Snowplow CH-1M (blade shovel) is used for cleaning overpasses. The coverage area is 125 cm.

Also in cities for communal needs are often used:

• brushes (grip 95.5 cm);
• hiller universal OU00.

Before buying a mini-tractor, you should familiarize yourself with the performance characteristics of various models. It makes sense to study the features and how the manufacturer works. Also, be sure to read consumer reviews on social networks. The Belarusian tractor equipment is good because it is reliable and inexpensive. The price-performance ratio is very reasonable and has good competitive advantages. There are many inexpensive spare parts on the market, including those for attachments.

Choosing the right unit, first of all, you should pay attention to the following indicators:

• is there a power take-off shaft;
• how great is the clearance;
• is it possible to adjust the distance between the front and rear wheels;
• what fuels and lubricants are used, what is their consumption;
• what attachments can be attached;
• is there a power steering;
• how many cylinders are in the engine;
• what are the dimensions and weight of the tractor;
• what is the service and whether there are service centers nearby;
• how many wheel drives are there and is it possible to disconnect them if necessary.

Here are some points to look out for when purchasing a mini tractor.

It is imperative to check the presence of fuel in the container and lubricant in the power plant.

The clutch must also be in good condition. The oil is changed on average every fifty-two hours of operation of the equipment. In the warm season, M10DM oil is used, in the cold season, M10B oil is used. It is recommended to warm up the engine before changing the lubricant.

The transmission oil should be changed after a thousand operating hours. It is most reasonable to use Tap-15V or Tad-17i for these purposes. Usually 80 or 92 gasoline is used as fuel, the fuel should not have any additives.

It is also necessary to change the oil. If the car needs to be mothballed for the winter (for more than 8 weeks), then the tractor is placed in a covered garage, gasoline is drained, all gearbox levers are lubricated, the candles are turned off.

It should also be borne in mind: if the clutch does not work and does not transmit torque, then it must be adjusted.

If the leading discs are worn out, then they change. If the attachment does not work, add fluid to the hydraulic system. The brakes must be adjusted before operating. Brake pads should be replaced periodically. The battery needs to be charged. Check the contacts, and where necessary, solder them.

A mini tractor is a rather complex mechanism, there can be a large number of faults in such blocks:

• engine;
• brakes;
• hydraulic system;
• steering.

The most common malfunctions occur when the clutch pedal is seized. This indicates that the discs on the splines are worn out - they need to be replaced. The clutch does not completely turn off, which is why the car “drives” - it will be necessary to shorten or tighten the cable. If it is worn out, it should be replaced.

There is a strange noise in the bridges - it is required to adjust the clearances, change the lubricant.

If there are problems during braking, this means, first of all, that the brake pads should be replaced. A backlash appeared in the steering - fasteners remained or the worm gear was worn out.

Reviews of mini-tractors from Belarus are mostly only positive. The equipment is reliable and only needs preventive maintenance. Of the shortcomings, we can say about the components for American and Japanese engines. Sometimes spare parts are difficult to find on the market, often they are, but at a very high price.
