Attachments

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). Active cutter 0070B is used to move any soil. The site can have a slope of 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 into the ground no more than 9 cm.

BT-1.6 harrows are popular among farmers, which can be used to crush soil clods. This tool is also successfully used to eliminate crust on the ground and harrow seedlings. This attachment mechanism is also quite suitable for covering furrows with soil.

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

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

The universal plow L108 is a three-furrow plow; there is also a two-furrow unit PLN230. Belarusian-made tractors can easily work with any two- or three-circuit plows, which most often have a reversible share. The immersion depth is up to 19 cm. Before starting work, it is imperative to check the fastening of the attachments.

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

• mowing grass;
• weed eradication;
• uprooting bushes.

Working speed on level ground is 8.2 km/h.

A rake makes it possible to collect hay. The working width is 2 meters, which makes it possible to use the unit over large areas. The KTC-1T potato planter is also in demand by villagers, especially when cultivating large areas. Belarusian tractors can cultivate at least seven hectares of land per hour.

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

A snow blower is used over large areas. The layers are selected with a special cutting knife. During operation, snow is sent onto the pulley and rotor and 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.

The snow blower CH-1M (spade blade) is used for cleaning overpasses. The working width over the area is 125 cm.

Also in cities for utility purposes the following are often used:

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

Owner reviews

Vitaliy, Uzhgorod:

“I remember the quality of MTZ tractors back in the 90s, at that time they were machines that would last for centuries. MTZ082, purchased in the 90s, served its service life and even more. After 082 I drove the 50th, and then the LTZ40. I want to buy something similar, I definitely won’t buy this model - I want to buy more expensive and more powerful equipment. From myself, as the owner of MTZ with 20 years of experience, I will say that

The advantages of this machine are obvious: firstly, it is economical, it consumes fuel as stated - very moderately. Secondly, the new models have a differential lock, there are a lot of attachments for them now, just like in the 90s, only now there is a much larger assortment.

Disadvantages: The price is high for the average farmer.”
