Review of clearing snow with a blade on the VTZ-2032A tractor

Alexey, 42 years old:

“The car is not bad, functional, but, like all post-Soviet technology, it has its pros and cons! Pros: great functionality, maneuverability, compact size, ease of control, improved conditions in the cabin (feet don’t get cold, the stove can handle it), two doors. Cons: single-seater (sometimes you need help when operating attachments), poor assembly - you have to use your hands all the time, then one thing will break, then another will fall off.”

Vladimir, 38 years old:

“I work on the VTZ-2048 in the field, using various attachments. The tractor has high maneuverability, the hydraulics cope. There are also disadvantages: the assembly is lame, the paint peeled off in the first year.”

Features of operation

Despite the possibility of use in urban conditions, VTZ tractors are most often used in agriculture.

This is high-tech equipment that can last for many years. To maintain these characteristics, repair and maintenance work should be carried out in accordance with the recommendations in the operating manual.

Service

• To increase the service life of the tractor, it is necessary to run it in so that all parts get used and fit into the grooves. The procedure takes about 8 hours. At this time, the engine can be loaded only at half its power. Upon completion of the procedure, replace the engine oil.
• If you do not plan to use the tractor for a long time, you need to clean it, put it in a dry place and lubricate the parts to prevent corrosion from forming.
• In order for VTZ tractors to operate properly, the engine oil should be changed regularly (after 100 hours of operation). For flooding, it is recommended to use semi-synthetic options with classification SAE 10W-40 and API no lower than CD.
• The transmission oil should be changed after 1000 operating hours. To do this, you should find a lubricant with SAE 85W-90 API GL-5 classification.
• VTZ tractors run on diesel. For their normal functioning, you should always fill with clean and fresh fuel. The presence of sediment or foreign impurities in it is not allowed. This can damage the fuel system, which will then have to be flushed.
• VTZ tractors are economical. When compared with the Belarusian MTZ, their diesel consumption is approximately 1.5-2 times less.

Basic faults and repairs

VTZ tractors are distinguished by high-quality assembly. However, this is equipment and sooner or later it breaks down and repair work has to be done.

Detailed repair instructions are provided in the user manual.

If there is increased vibration from the VTZ tractor, then this is what could lead to this:

1. Poor quality fuel or oil;
2. Looseness of bolted connections;
3. Incorrect attachment settings.

Starter does not work:

1. Broken or poor wire contact;
2. Weak battery charging;
3. Short circuit;
4. Poor magnetic switch contact.

Brakes do not work:

1. The free play of the pedal has increased;
2. The brake disc or pad is worn out.

Below are several opinions from thematic forums from owners of VTZ tractors:

Alexander: “In essence, this is a multifunctional unit that can automate almost all agricultural work. Control is excellent, especially in small spaces. The cabin is comfortable and cozy (the heater works great), gear shifting occurs without much effort. At the same time, it feels like the assembly is not of very high quality; the appearance has deteriorated very quickly. One day I decided to check whether a three-circuit plow would pull in virgin soil. It didn’t work, but the gearbox had to be changed.”

VTZ tractors

VTZ tractors are products of the Vladimir Tractor Plant, which has been operating since 1945. The company specializes in the manufacture of special equipment equipped with wheels and tracks. The priority activity of the plant is the production of VTZ 2000 tractors of various modifications. Through their use, a wide range of municipal and agricultural work can be carried out. This opportunity is realized thanks to the presence of additional attachments.

The design features of tractors contribute to changing the track size. The vehicle becomes more stable on different road surfaces, and its cross-country potential tends to increase. Here we can talk about optimal maneuverability of the tractor, as well as simpler and better processing of crops with different heights and row spacing.

Some VTZ models are additionally equipped with a special safety cage, the presence of which increases the strength of the vehicle cabin and makes the operating process comfortable.

A wide range of attachments allows you to expand the range of operation of tractors. Installing a feed dispenser allows you to use the VTZ tractor in livestock farming, and the additional purchase of a trailer makes it easier to transport goods. A plow, cultivator, seeder or mower can be most useful during field work.
