Design features and technical characteristics of the Belarus MTZ 152 tractor

The MTZ-152N minitractor is a new machine in the range of compact special equipment produced by the Smorgon Tractor Plant. The model specializes in performing not too labor-intensive tasks in the field of agriculture. In almost all types of work, the minitractor is equipped with appropriate mounted and trailed units, of which there are many different types and variations.

The MTZ-152N minitractor has an all-wheel drive system, which provides it with fairly high maneuverability on various types of soil. The equipment belongs to the 0.2 traction class and has quite excellent performance indicators for its segment. The standard equipment of the machine includes a special roll bar that protects the driver from serious injuries when the equipment rolls over. This can happen when working on slopes or on soils with reduced bearing capacity, using heavy units. The brake system and chassis of the model were significantly improved, as a result of which the equipment received increased cross-country ability during the autumn-spring period of operation. In terms of overall dimensions, the minitractor turned out to be quite compact, which directly affected maneuverability. Thus, MTZ-152N fits perfectly into work in gardens and private plots.

Purpose

The MTZ-152N minitractor was specially designed for operation in fairly small areas. However, at the same time, the equipment turned out to be very multifunctional, as it is capable of performing an impressive list of technological and transportation work in such areas as:

1. Agriculture. In this area, equipment is often used for plowing and pre-sowing soil treatment, sowing operations of various crops, cultivation, inter-row cultivation, as well as for applying any fertilizers. To perform all these tasks, the tractor uses mounted and semi-mounted units mounted to the rear linkage system. Their operation is facilitated by an on-board hydraulic system, the operating pressure of which reaches 20 megapascals. The hydraulic pump has a capacity of 8 liters per minute, which is quite good.
2. Utilities. To work in this area, a necessary criterion is often the presence of a power take-off shaft, which is precisely present in the MTZ-152N model. The existing PTO in independent mode rotates at a frequency of up to 1168 revolutions per minute, when in synchronous mode this value is 7 revolutions per meter of travel. The model is used in conjunction with various snow removal equipment (in particular, a type of frontal plow), as well as with a utility brush, which is necessary for cleaning street and yard areas from various contaminants.
3. Freight transportation. The MTZ-152N minitractor has very good traction and coupling characteristics and special devices that make it possible to transport any cargo using either tractor or car trailers and semi-trailers. The rear linkage is designed for loads up to 300 kilograms. With this weight, the model can climb a slope with an angle of 12 degrees without any difficulty.
4. Industrial enterprises. In this area, as in the previous one, the machine is used to carry out transportation work. Here the machinery carries out the transportation of raw materials and various products. The tractor enjoys considerable popularity mainly due to its maneuverability, since it will not be difficult for it to turn around in a limited working space. In addition, MTZ-152N is also used with a welding inverter, electric generator, air compressor and many other stationary equipment.

In its class, this mini tractor has a fairly high ground clearance of 300 millimeters under the front wheel axle. With this indicator, the equipment can effectively process low-growing crops. Mostly, owners use the technique for planting and digging potatoes and inter-row cultivation of any vegetation. Thanks to the small turning radius and large overall dimensions, the machine is able to maneuver between trees in garden plots.

Pros and cons of the tractor

If we talk about the functionality of the MTZ 152, it can be argued that the machine, despite its traction class, is a full-fledged universal tillage tractor. MTZ 152 is ideal for private use in agriculture, public services of a small enterprise or organization. The small dimensions and layout of the gearbox with a reverse gear give the tractor an advantage in convenient control and maneuverability when performing work on small plots of land or working in urban areas. The tractor will be a good helper for summer residents and owners of agricultural land in the village when cultivating vegetable plots and orchards. If equipped with a tractor, you can perform: plowing, continuous and inter-row cultivation, planting and harvesting potatoes, fertilizing, mowing green masses, mowing lawns, transporting cargo, clearing areas and roads of snow, loading cargo up to 200 kg. Objective comments include:

• too high first gear speed -3 km/h, not always suitable for high-quality performance of certain operations on the field
• quite high cost of the tractor from 300 thousand rubles
• noisy engine operation and lack of front front lining of the tractor engine compartment

In reviews, users often complain about the low engine power, motivated by the desire to plow deeper and faster, transport more, etc. It should be noted that the manufacturer has no goal to compete with this model with the T-25 or T-40 tractors. The goal of the plant is to produce a convenient, universal mini tractor for use on plots of up to 1 hectare of land.

One of the main reasons for the emergence of negative, subjective opinions is not always an adequate assessment of the technical ability of the tractor to cope with overloads. It should be noted that, due to their low power, the design of the transmission and chassis are designed to be aggregated with attachments and trailed equipment corresponding to this tractor model. Often, in order to increase productivity or create unhealthy savings, they use land-cultivating equipment with an increased working width and working depth, which leads to rapid wear and breakdown of the final drives of the drive axles or the clutch.

Attachments

The attachment package consists of many different units, most of which are mounted on the rear linkage. All provided blades are installed exclusively in the front part. It is also worth noting that some equipment requires a power take-off drive. Among these, we need to highlight a potato digger, a potato planter, a tillage cutter and utility brushes. Other additional equipment is a plow, cultivator, hiller, and harrow.

Purpose of the mini tractor Belarus 152

MTZ 152 has been produced since 2015, designed for agricultural work on small plots of land, farms, greenhouses, orchards, vineyards, farms, as well as for performing operations in industrial enterprises, in public utilities:

Description and design of the tractor

MTZ-152 is a relatively new model, representing a further development of the ideas embodied in the earlier MTZ-132 model. Unlike its predecessor, it received all-wheel drive and a number of other improvements:

• updated design;
• swinging rear axle;
• the ability to disable the rear axle;
• steerable front wheels;
• comfortable sprung seat;
• increased ground clearance;
• mechanical locking of the rear wheels.

Minitractor MTZ 152
Like any tractor, MTZ-152 copes with a variety of jobs, including:

• plowing, harrowing, cultivation of different types of soils;
• processing of row spacing of potatoes, beets, and other root crops;
• mowing and harvesting hay;
• transportation of goods;
• various stationary works driven by a power take-off shaft.

It is successfully used not only on household plots and farms, but also in public utilities, school plots, parks, etc. Thanks to the folding frame and small size, the mini-tractor easily maneuvers in cramped conditions: between trees, beds, and even in large greenhouses. In autumn and winter, MTZ-132 is actively used to remove leaves and snow from roads. For this purpose, such types of additional equipment as a snow rotor, a rotary blade and a universal brush are offered.

Among the indisputable advantages of the model is a wide selection of additional options and equipment. In particular, in addition to the basic package you can install:

• more powerful and economical diesel engine (15-22 hp);
• larger wheels to increase ground clearance from 28 to 35 cm;
• power steering, further facilitating steering;
• a cabin that reliably protects from the vagaries of the weather, with the possibility of heating;
• instrument panel displaying information about fuel level, oil temperature, etc.;
• improved lighting equipment;
• rear view mirrors;
• three-section hydraulic distributor;
• front power take-off shaft (hydraulic), which dramatically expands the choice of attachments.

Device Features

The MTZ-152N minitractor is equipped with a separate hydraulic system equipped with an NSh6-3-L gear hydraulic pump, a hydraulic distributor and one hydraulic cylinder that controls the mounted units. It should be noted that separate hydraulics are used on many modern models of mini tractors, since they are much more efficient. As additional options, the consumer is offered a front hitch.

This version differs from its previous model in the following advantages:

1. Technical and operational characteristics have been significantly increased.
2. The manufacturer has significantly reduced the turning radius of the machine, making the equipment very convenient to use in confined working spaces.
3. The driver's seat received special springs, which had a positive effect on work comfort.

A single-stage gearbox with spur gears is installed on the front axle. The center differential of the drive axle traditionally has a mechanical locking function, which the driver can turn on and off independently. The final drives are single-disc type gearboxes, which also have spur gears. The torque from the power plant is transmitted to the rear axle (if it is engaged) through the secondary shaft of the gearbox.

The equipment is controlled by a special operator located under the driver’s seat. This machine can be equipped with two types of seats. Both offered types are equipped with several adjustment modes (vertical and horizontal). The seats are also equipped with a special suspension that provides increased comfort when performing any work.

The dashboard of the MTZ-152N minitractor has a block of control lamps and a working hours counter. There is a special panel on which there are buttons for turning on the alarm, stopping the power unit and turning off the electric starter and all devices. The controls have a very convenient location, which, together with the adjustment of the driver's seat, allows you to take the most comfortable position.

This model has gained considerable popularity on the Russian market due to the optimal price-quality ratio. According to this indicator, the Smorgon mini tractor can compete very strongly with various foreign analogues from this segment.

Reliability

The equipment has increased reliability of almost all components and structural elements, which provides a very long service life. The power unit used is designed to operate on 92nd fuel, but there are often cases when AI-80 was poured into the fuel tank. And even at this octane number, the engine runs quite smoothly, which also indicates the reliability of the car.

Repair features

The MTZ-152N minitractor has a long service life, but in order to maintain the equipment in fully operational and serviceable condition, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance. This does not mean performing a major overhaul, but simply checking key elements for wear, replacing working fluids and engine oil if necessary, as well as replacing filter elements. The entire process is described in more detail in the instruction manual.

Owner reviews

• Recently, on the recommendation of a very good friend, an MTZ-152N tractor was purchased. Judging by first impressions, the car is practically in no way inferior to its analogues. In terms of maintenance, a mini tractor is even much simpler and more economical, which is good news. Now MTZ-152N is used in the garden with a rotary cutter, a plow and a potato digger. So far I have not identified any serious shortcomings, the machine still works perfectly and flawlessly. I heard that you can fill it with AI-80, but I still adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations because I don’t want to take risks.
• This mini tractor cost me a fairly cheap price, and it was also new, as it was lucky enough to be part of a holiday promotion. The equipment really has an optimal ratio of cost and quality. It still works fine to this day.
