Features of operation

At the first cursory glance, no operating features of the MTZ-152 come to mind. But if you take a closer look, it turns out that the absence of a roof for the sake of saving weight and price affects the versatility and all-weather capability of the car. In strong winds or even light rain, it is uncomfortable to work on the small Belarus.

The second feature is low performance. The goals and objectives of the machine are dictated by its technical characteristics and, accordingly, the modest amount of work performed. But it was not created for non-stop work in the field or on public roads.

Almost perfect maneuverability will have a great effect on small areas of yards and agricultural farms, where the tasks of a loader, tractor, pusher, etc. will be required.

Cabin

The driver's seat of the MTZ-152 minitractor has hydraulic shock absorption and mechanical suspension. The buyer has a choice of two seat options - GT50-SM20 or Kab seating XH2/U2.
