Owner reviews

• The MTZ-132N minitractor was purchased to work in my personal garden, but in my free time I also use the machine on neighboring plots as additional income. The machine performed well with the plow. Weak soil can be handled without any particular difficulties, but with heavy soil you still have to tinker. The model is quite inexpensive to maintain and is also inexpensive to operate.
• At the site, this tractor caused only positive impressions. The garden is quite large, but the technology made it possible to complete all the work in just one day. True, many different devices were involved. I’m quite pleased with the equipment, and I don’t even think about a possible sale.

Purpose

The MTZ-132N minitractor is intended for work on small plots of land, since the use of this model on large areas is not entirely reasonable. Processing a small area will take a very short time, which has ensured great popularity in gardens. Let's take a closer look at each area of ​​application of this model:

Private farm. This includes farms, vegetable gardens, livestock farming and horticulture. a mini tractor is capable of performing a fairly wide range of different tasks, including plowing light soils; treatment of the fertile soil layer; cultivation; harrowing; pre-sowing tillage; sowing of grain and vegetable crops; planting onions, garlic, beets, potatoes and other similar crops; hilling up beds; row spacing treatment; introducing mineral and other fertilizers into the soil; watering; harvesting; transportation; mowing any vegetation; garbage collection. In livestock farming, MTZ-132N also provides considerable assistance in preparing feed, mowing and transporting hay, cleaning certain areas and much more. In gardening, equipment has a rather narrow focus, since it is used only for spraying vegetation, mowing lawns, and also for carrying out cargo transportation work. Due to its relatively small overall dimensions, this mini tractor is often used in greenhouses and greenhouse complexes.

Utilities. In this area, a mini tractor removes snow, debris and cleans any areas of various contaminants. The machine can be used in street areas, parking lots, industrial and private courtyards, hard-to-reach urban areas and other similar areas.

Operating experience: advantages and disadvantages

In reviews, owners note the following advantages of the design:

• Versatility - the tractor can be used for almost all economic work on the site;
• All-wheel drive, which improves vehicle control and maneuverability;
• Simple repairs, since all parts are freely available;
• Possibility of using additional attachments;
• Excellent traction properties, for which the transmission and power unit are responsible;
• Easy transportation in the back of a passenger car;
• Affordable price;
• The ability to change the track, which increases the functionality of the equipment when performing agricultural tasks;
• Small dimensions, making the tractor easy to operate in confined spaces;
• Ability to transport loads weighing 700 kg.

Disadvantages of MTZ-132:

• You cannot install the engine on gas;
• There is no roof, so the device cannot be used for a long time in the cold season;
• The need for periodic adjustment of the steering mechanism;
• Poor quality hydrotesting of a closed system with excess pressure;
• When removing sediment, you cannot use the front part with the brush and the rear axle at the same time;
• The need for constant clutch adjustment.

Price

The MTZ-132N minitractor without mileage can now be found in the price range from 160 thousand rubles to 180 thousand Russian rubles.

A used car is usually much cheaper, but its value is largely influenced by its overall technical condition. The cheapest samples may require additional financial investments to bring the equipment into fully operational condition. On average, the cost of technically acceptable units starts from 90 thousand rubles and up to 140 thousand Russian rubles.

Device Features

The mini tractor uses a single-cylinder engine. MTZ-132 is equipped with GX390 Honda or Lifan LF188FD. The manufacturer also produced models with a two-cylinder B&S power unit, but this is a limited line that is almost impossible to get in 2022.

The small tractor is equipped with a mechanical transmission. The manual transmission consists of four forward and three reverse gears. The front axle is equipped with locking mechanics, but this function is activated manually. Excellent cross-country ability is guaranteed by all-wheel drive. To increase the capabilities of the equipment, various attachments are used.

Reliability

The small tractor can withstand loads of up to 700 kg. This fact has been repeatedly tested in practice, since the equipment has been produced for about 30 years. The machine is able to function during frosts, so it can be used when removing ice and snow. But the design does not include a cabin, so it is difficult to operate it in rainy weather.

Repair features

The model is easy to repair, since all parts and consumables can be purchased in specialized stores and markets. Moreover, these elements are inexpensive. It is possible to eliminate the breakdown in a short time, since the compact equipment has a simple design.
