The plant survived the crisis of the 90s, rebuilt, added several new lines (diesel engines began to be produced at the VMTZ production sites) and changed its name - now it is the Vladimir Motor and Tractor Plant (VMTZ).
Tractor VTZ
VTZ tractors have gained great popularity not only due to their high functionality, but also due to their more than affordable price (their cost varies between 1-1.5 million rubles). The plant’s design bureau has done a tremendous amount of work—creating a whole range of VTZ tractors.
Maintenance Features
Such models are quite suitable for use in urban environments; they are most often used for agricultural work. Equipment from VTZ is distinguished by high build quality, excellent performance characteristics and can last a long time with proper maintenance.
In cases where you plan to use new equipment or an analogue that has undergone a major overhaul, it is strongly recommended to run it for 8 hours. It provides that during operation the engine will be loaded at only half of its possible power. After running-in, the engine oil should be completely changed.
To increase service life, you should follow other recommendations:
- when placing the tractor for long-term storage, you will need to clean it, place it in a place protected from moisture, and then lubricate the parts to prevent corrosion;
- engine oil should be changed after 100 hours of operation;
- Gearbox oil must be replaced every 1000 hours of operation;
- VTZ equipment is considered unpretentious in relation to fuel; for its correct operation, you should use only high-quality diesel that does not contain a large amount of impurities or sediment.
A characteristic feature of this unit seems to be efficiency, since the level of fuel consumption of the manufacturer’s models is 1.5-2 times less than that of Belarusian analogues from MTZ.
