The main disadvantages and technical characteristics of the MTZ-1025 Belarus tractor

The Minsk Tractor Plant began production of the Belarus 1025 tractor in 2004. The main purpose of this equipment, which is indicated in the factory catalog, is to perform various mechanized works for agriculture with various mounted and trailed equipment, as well as the possibility of transport work in other industries such as industry, construction, utilities, forestry. Such a wide range of applications is ensured by the technical characteristics of MTZ 1025.

The main technical features of this model include the fairly high power of this tractor with fairly compact overall dimensions. Such characteristics, together with a fairly high agrotechnical clearance of 465 mm and a traction class of 1.4, give it the ability to fully care for tall vegetable plants and also provide high cross-country ability.

Considering the high popularity of the tractor of this model, the manufacturer has developed, mastered and is currently producing several modifications with different technical characteristics.

The main differences between existing modifications are the technical characteristics of the installed engine and the degree of compliance with environmental requirements. With an increase in the environmental performance class according to the Stage/Tier qualification, the export potential of a particular modification increases.

• mounted;
• trailed;
• semi-mounted.

Additional mechanisms and towing capacity of 1.4 t.s. allow the machine to be used in the agricultural, communal and municipal spheres.

The "1025" series has proven itself well in the livestock sector. The tractor is used in the preparation of feed together:

• with forage harvesters;
• mowers;
• trailers.

In construction they use:

• hydraulic loaders;
• mounted excavators;
• front dumps.

In the logging sector, MTZ-1025 is aggregated:

• with a manipulator;
• skidding mechanism.

Specifications

The MTZ-1025 tractor is included in the category of high-power machines, however, its dimensions are quite compact. The length, width and height of the base model with an operating weight of 4,480 kg is 4200x1970x2820 mm. The distance between the wheels of the front axle is adjustable within 1445-1990 mm, the rear axle - 1430-2100 mm, the turning radius is minimal - only 4.1 m.

Agrotechnical ground clearance of 465 mm guarantees high maneuverability of the tractor unit and allows for complete care of tall vegetable crops.

Engine

The MTZ 1025 engine is an economical, easy to maintain and durable turbocharged diesel engine with a power of 105 hp. With an average consumption of 171 g/hp/h, the traction characteristics of the four-cylinder power plant are sufficient to fully activate a wide range of attachments.

Unlike imported analogues, the branded D-245 engine does not require special fuels and lubricants, therefore it can operate on different types of diesel fuel and standard lubricants. Fuel tank capacity is 156 liters. Starting the engine in winter frosts is simplified by electric torch heating of the intake air.

Electrical equipment

The MTZ-1025 tractor is equipped with a 700 W generator, a 6 kW starter and a battery with a standard voltage of 12–13 V. To facilitate starting the engine in the cold season, an electric torch heating is installed upon additional order from the consumer.

Cabin and controls

Photo: Belarus-1025 cabin

The peculiarity of this single-seat design is the presence of a rigid frame, which significantly reduces the risk of injury to the driver during a rollover. The lack of air conditioning is partially compensated for by ventilation of the cabin volume using adjustable glazing and a sunroof in the cabin roof.

The comfort of the workplace is increased due to improved thermal and sound insulation, convenient placement of controls, the presence of power steering, and a wide range of adjustments for the driver’s seat equipped with pneumatic shock absorption. The cabin volume is sufficient to install an additional less comfortable seat.

Gearbox and transmission

The MTZ-1025 gearbox is a four-speed manual transmission. 16 forward speeds allow you to select a speed range from 2-3 to 37 km/h. 8 gears ensure the tractor moves in reverse at speeds from 4 to 17 km/h.

The tractor chassis is all-wheel drive. The advantages of the rear axle design with planetary gears are effectively realized through automatic differential locking. The front axle is modified by strengthening the axle shafts. The ability to disable front-wheel drive helps reduce the load on the transmission and significantly save fuel and lubricants.

The permanently closed, double-disc dry clutch ensures transmission of high torque with a significant reserve. The main and parking brakes of the tractor operate in parallel with similar devices on transport trailers.

The hydraulic two-cylinder three-mode hitch for MTZ 1025 is characterized by versatility, free access for adjustments and maintenance, and the ability to fix mounted units during transportation. The tractor linkage is fully compatible with branded units and with most tractor linkages from other manufacturers.

The design of the tractor provides three outputs of the hydraulic system, designed to drive mounted and trailed devices, as well as stationary engines with hydraulic drive.

Tractor transmission

The machine has a standard placement of components and a torque distribution scheme from the engine, similar to the well-known MTZ 82.

Power transmission

The clutch mechanism is permanently closed, dry, double-disc, with asbestos-free friction linings. Upon request, metal-ceramic discs can be installed. A simple mechanical clutch control drive ensures reliable operation and does not create difficulties during routine maintenance and adjustment. The clutch itself is located in the dry compartment of the intermediate part of the transmission; in the oil compartment, in addition to the power transmission, there are drives for the hydraulic pumps of the tractor mounted system and the transmission hydraulic system, as well as a two-speed gearbox of the independent PTO (540 and 1000 rpm).

Clutch MTZ 1025

Clutch control drive

Transmission

The tractor gearbox is mechanical, four-speed with synchronized gear shifting within the range. Control is carried out by the gear shift lever in the range and a separate lever is used to switch the ranges.

Transmission section

The gear shift lever within the range switches on two forward speeds and one reverse. Additionally, using the same lever in the range, switching the high-low gear divider doubles the number of speeds to 4 forward and 2 reverse. Thus, taking into account the four ranges, the tractor receives 16 forward gears and 8 reverse gears. The gearbox provides forward speeds ranging from 2.3-36.6 km/h and backward movement at speeds ranging from 4.1-17.2 km/h . Additionally, to obtain ultra-low technological speeds, the gearbox can be equipped with a creeper. The operation of the gearbox is associated with gears of the first range. The control drive is brought out by a separate lever into the cabin on the left side of the driver.

Gearbox control levers

Rear axle

The driving rear axle has a traditional design identical to the MTZ 80 with a bevel main gear and a closed differential, cylindrical pairs of final drive gears. The service brakes are normally located on the outer edges of the final drive axle shafts on both sides of the outer part of the rear axle housing. The differential locking fluid coupling is also installed on the left brake housing.

Rear axle

The differential lock on tractors 1025.2 and 1025.3 in some configurations is carried out by a pedal through a mechanical valve switching drive, as part of the hydrostatic steering control, to supply oil pressure to the friction clutch. The remaining modifications have only an electro-hydraulic drive that is activated by a button on the side control panel and has three modes: blocking disabled, automatic mode, forced mode.

Brakes and rear axle locking MTZ 1025

Tractors can be equipped with either dry brakes or oil brakes. So on MTZ 1025.2 and 1025.3 three-disc dry friction brakes are installed, on other modifications - wet multi-disc brakes. The pneumatic drive of tractor trailer brakes 1025.2, interlocked with the main brakes, has a single-wire circuit. In other modifications, the tractors are equipped with a two-wire pneumatic drive. Upon request, the manufacturer can install a hydraulic drive for trailer brakes.

PTO

The gearbox for turning on the rear power take-off shaft incorporates disc friction clutches instead of band brakes; the remaining mechanisms are absolutely identical to those of the MTZ 80 tractor. Power take-off is carried out in an independent mode with speeds of 540 and 1000 rpm. thanks to switching the two-speed gearbox using a leash from the bottom of the intermediate part of the transmission housing. In synchronous mode, the shaft rotates at a speed of 3.5 revolutions per meter of travel. To drive aggregated machines, the PTO provides power up to 69 kW.

Rear PTO mechanism

Switching of PTO operating modes is carried out from the tractor cabin, using a lever controlling the cam clutch for engaging the drive. The middle position corresponds to neutral, the left position corresponds to independent operating mode, and the right position corresponds to synchronous operating mode.

Direct control of the planetary gearbox for engaging the PTO is carried out by a lever with a hydromechanical drive; on the tractor of the latest modification MTZ 1025.6, activation is carried out by a button through an electro-hydraulic drive.

Front drive axle and its drive

Reinforced beam front axle with planetary spur gearboxes, main gear with a pair of helical bevel gears, limited-slip self-locking differential.

The axle drive is built into the gearbox, the electrical activation of which is ensured by a hydraulic clutch. The FDA operates in two modes - automatic and forced. During transport work on paved roads, the FDA is switched off. Automatic mode is used when performing field work or driving on dirt roads. The FDA drive is switched on automatically when the rear wheels slip. The forced mode is used for a short time, by manually locking the control button, in case of overcoming obstacles and difficult sections of roads.

Front axle drive

At the buyer's request, tractors can be equipped with a portal FDA with wheel reducers with pairs of bevel gears .

Price of a tractor - new or used

The price range of a car with zero mileage in different regions of the country varies between 25-30 thousand USD. For many farms, the problem is solved by purchasing second-hand equipment that has already used up a significant part of its intended resource.

Depending on the number of operating hours, technical condition and equipment, the price for a used tractor model 1025 ranges from 250 to 500 or more thousand hryvnia ($10,000 - $20,000). The basis for a significant discount may be the appearance of the car, worn tires on the wheels, or the malfunction of individual components and mechanisms.

The availability of a wide selection of spare parts and assemblies contributes to the accelerated commissioning of faulty equipment; however, saving on the purchase of a machine with a minimum remaining life is in any case not economically feasible.

Advantages and disadvantages

This unit has a number of objective advantages. These include:

• wide possibilities for use;
• excellent technical parameters combined with an affordable price;
• improved cabin;
• efficiency in fuel consumption;
• Wide range of options for using different attachments.

Among the disadvantages of the MTZ-1025, the technical characteristics of which allow the tractor to compete with foreign analogues, the following can be noted:

• rapid wear of some consumable parts, in particular the teeth on the drive gears;
• during operation, fuel consumption increases slightly;
• According to the subjective assessments of some consumers, the appearance of the car requires improvements.

Analogs

This category presents models that differ from the MTZ 1025 in engine power and the presence of additional or more advanced units. In particular, tractors of the MTZ 952, 892 and 1021 models may be distinguished by the presence of a synchronized gearbox, a travel range or additional power take-off shafts.

The closest analogue in terms of performance characteristics is the rather expensive Chinese-made tractor YTO-X904. The lower power of this car is compensated by the presence of a more advanced FIAT transmission and PERKINS engine. The traction capabilities of the Chinese counterpart are lower, however, the tractor can work with attachments designed for more powerful machines.

Price and analogues

A new car costs between 1.9-2.1 million rubles. The figure depends on the supplier and pre-installed equipment.

Those wishing to buy MTZ-1025 on the secondary market will pay approximately 50-70% of the price of a new car. The amount is affected by:

• general condition of the tractor;
• appearance;
• wear of parts and components.

Of the MTZ analogues, the models are similar in parameters - series: 952, 892 and 1021. Among foreign tractors, the Chinese-made YTO-X904 is suitable in terms of technical characteristics.

Owner reviews

The tractor was taken second-hand with low mileage. The machine has been used on the farm for 3 seasons. Confidently pulls a three-furrow plow, a wide-cut cultivator or a ten-cubic-meter tank on a wheeled chassis. Fuel consumption is at the level of the less powerful MTZ-82. Leonid is a farm tractor driver

Wide tires make it a little more difficult to handle row spacing, but sensitive steering hydraulics help out here. The distance margin is small, so the work requires increased attention. Valentin Vladimirovich - farmer

Many reviews especially note the reliability of Minsk tractors, their unpretentiousness to fuel and oils, and the possibility of self-repair in the field.

Advantages and disadvantages of the MTZ-1025 model

The designers managed to create a machine that combines:

• versatility of use;
• affordable price;
• moderate fuel and oil consumption;
• high maintainability;
• quite long service life.

In many respects, the unification of spare parts and entire units has been preserved, which makes it possible to reduce the downtime of the unit when performing repair work of varying levels of complexity.

A characteristic drawback of the first series is overheating of the engine in the summer heat due to the low efficiency of the cooling system. The problem is solved by replacing the standard four-row radiator with a more efficient five-row one. Manufacturers promptly responded to fair complaints from operators, so in all subsequent series this deficiency was completely eliminated.

The lack of air conditioning in the cabin of the basic MTZ-1025 model is compensated by its moderate cost. The tractor is equipped with additional equipment only after completing a separate application.

Model history

The MTZ 1025 Belarus tractor is a modernized “1000” series. The history of the development of this agricultural machine began in 1996 with the release of the 1000th series. The 1025 tractor itself has been produced since 2004 by the Minsk Tractor Plant.

Tractor MTZ 1025 Belarus 2004 The agricultural vehicle has received wide capabilities - from the use of attachments to the operation of trailers. During the production period, several upgrades were carried out, and modified models were also released. The production of the 1025 series continues to this day.

Reviews and prices

The MTZ-1025 tractor, the price of which depends on the current condition and additional equipment, easily outperforms Chinese analogues and models produced in the countries of the former USSR in terms of cost and availability of spare parts.

As users note, the unit copes well with all types of work for which it is designed. Good power, ease of maintenance and affordable cost compensate for some of the manufacturers' shortcomings. The most complaints are about engine overheating and an inconvenient gearbox. In general, the MTZ-1025 tractor receives positive reviews.

In most cases, this is due to the wide capabilities of the unit and its use in a wide variety of industries. An additional bonus is the low price (from ten thousand dollars), and the availability of inexpensive spare parts everywhere - the main indicators influencing the popularity of this vehicle.

At the same time, they note that for more efficient work it is best to use the so-called attachment produced by MTZ, which can be easily selected from the plant’s product catalog. The main equipment includes:

• various mowers;
• harrows;
• row-crop plows;
• various seeders;
• cultivators;
• fertilizer diffusers;
• mounted lifting equipment;
• planning devices;

In addition, the advantages of Belarus 1025 include:

• economical consumption of fuel, hydraulic oil, lubricants;
• high maintainability;
• affordable cost;
• long service life;

Separately, it is worth highlighting the availability of spare parts, since the Belarus 1025 model is unified with many models of Minsk tractors, including the MTZ 920 tractor. This unification determines a saturated and accessible spare parts market.

Among the shortcomings the following points are noted:

• poor efficiency of the cooling system in hot summer weather;
• insufficient reliability of the clutch basket on the MTZ 1025.2 version of the tractor under conditions of frequent changes in types of agricultural work;
• failure of the internal combustion engine turbine.

Device

The design of the MTZ-1025 tractor is typical, as for the entire series produced by the Minsk Tractor Plant.

Cabin

The MTZ-1025 cabin with a rigid metal frame, in the event of a tractor overturning, will not allow the heavy machine to crush the driver. Excellent visibility is provided by the large glass area.

The side and rear windows, as well as the sunroof, open for additional ventilation.

The front and rear windows are equipped with electric wipers. The interior of the cabin is made using modern high-quality materials, using noise-absorbing, molded panels.

The air intake from the ventilation system is located in the area of ​​the side windows. And the filters are designed with the possibility of partial self-cleaning while the machine is moving.

The main control station is designed in such a way as to ensure maximum comfortable work for the operator. The brake pedals are double with a rational trajectory of movement. To the right of the driver is a remote control with controls for hydraulics, engine, and transmission.

The seat with pneumatic shock absorption has adjustments in all planes, as well as for the weight of the tractor driver. As an additional option, it is possible to install an additional passenger seat. The tractor is controlled by hydraulic displacement with a hydraulic pump and a metering distributor. A hydraulic cylinder is installed in the steering linkage.

Hydraulics and attachments

The hydraulic system in the mounted system on the MTZ-1025 is represented by two hydraulic cylinders located vertically. The system provides positional, power and mixed modes of operation, and also fixes attachments in the transport position.

The three-point hitch system is equipped with telescopic rods, which allow you to conveniently adjust the position of the attachment relative to the tractor. The braces have additional grooves for fastening wide-cut machines, and allow better contour following.

For quick and convenient attachment of attachments, an automatic coupling SA-1 is available. It can be installed on both the front and rear linkage. The tractor has three free pairs of hydraulic outlets, which are used to ensure the operation of hydrostatic linkage equipment. Hydraulic outlets can also ensure the operation of hydraulic motors.

Internal equipment

Manufacturers of the MTZ-1025, whose technical characteristics are universal for work in the agricultural, forestry and construction sectors, have not forgotten about driver comfort. The cabin has an attractive design, safety and protection from natural elements. Visibility is ensured by clever glazing and electric windshield wipers. There is enough space in the cabin for a large person; noise absorption is ensured by a special glass structure. The inside of the cabin is finished with insulating panel blocks and molded mats.

Additional comfort is provided by ventilation and heating systems. The filters on the devices have a self-cleaning option; access to the cabin is made by installing a durable and non-slip footrest. The control panel provides placement of all the necessary devices; on the right side there is a control unit for the engine, hydraulics and transmission unit. The operator's seat is adjusted to the driver's dimensions, the passenger seat is installed upon request.

Modifications

The MTZ-1025 Belarus tractor has several modifications that differ from the base model in power characteristics. Structurally, engines can differ only in power and fuel consumption. There are modifications with markings: tractor MTZ-1025.2, 1025.3, 1025.4, 1025.5 and 1025.6. Let's look at the differences between different models:

Transmission

The operating parameters of the MTZ-1025 tractor largely depend on the type of gearbox used on it. The tractor is equipped with two types of mechanical gearboxes:

Gearbox housing MTZ-1025

• normal synchronized;
• synchronized with a three-stage planetary accelerator (hydromechanical type).

The first type gearbox has 14 speeds for forward movement and 4 for reverse. The gearbox with planetary accelerator operates at 16 speeds - forward and 8 - reverse. In this case, the highest forward speed is 36 km/h, the lowest is 2.3 km/h. The maximum speed when reversing is 17 km/h, the minimum reverse speed of the MTZ-1025 is 4 km/h.

Exploitation

MTZ-1025 tractors are capable of performing the entire range of agricultural work. This is facilitated by the widest selection of mounted, trailed and semi-mounted equipment and a high towing class of 1.4 t.p.

The machine is also good because its use is suitable for both large and small farms. For example, in areas where MTZ-80/82 will be heavy, and “1221”, on the contrary, will be idle, our hero will come in handy. It can use attachments like its smaller brothers, as well as wide-cut, high-performance implements.

It has also proven itself excellent in animal husbandry. He is capable of any work involving the preparation of feed. Perfectly aggregated with trailed, high-performance forage harvesters. Mowers with a large working width and the ability to flatten legumes for better drying, for example trailed KPP-4.2. Delivery of feed to farms and removal of organic fertilizers to fields.

The ability to install a powerful loader with a large carrying capacity, a mounted excavator, and a front blade blade ensured that the tractor was widely used in construction and road work.

By installing a mounted manipulator, or skidding device, the tractor is successfully used in the forestry industry.

I suggest listening to those who work with this tractor and are familiar with it firsthand:

1. I’ve been working at MTZ-1025 for four years now, cultivating 100 hectares. I plow with a reversible three-furrow plow, a cultivator with a working width of 6 m. I showed myself well in transport work, for example, it pulls a barrel of about 10.5 m3 calmly, the main thing is to be more careful on descents. Previously, I kept the DT-75 specifically for plowing, now the “1025” covers the entire list of works, although I still have the MTZ-82 in the wings.
2. This is my second year using the equipment. The original front fenders are an obvious defect, they wrap up no matter how you adjust them, I suffered for several days and then threw them out. The engine is good, there is enough power, but it got warm under load, I tried changing the thermostat, it didn’t help. It turned out there was a problem with overheating, this is not only a problem with my tractor, I solved it by installing a 5-row radiator. The hitch has two vertical power cylinders, this is a big plus, but there is no forced lowering, which is very frustrating, only under the weight of the equipment. The steering is excellent, control of the PTO and front axle is convenient. In general, the car is not bad, but there are plenty of disadvantages.
3. For those who are hesitant to use the MTZ-1025 in the inter-row because of wider tires than on the MTZ-82, I will say. I work in a row spacing of 70 cm. The tractor fits, although the distance margin is minimal. A little practice and you get used to it.

Possible attachments

Due to its versatility, this equipment has a large number of mounted and trailed equipment, these are:

• Front-end loader PFN-0.38. Used for loading, light leveling and snow removal work.
• Jaw scoop. It is used when loading bulk and non-bulky materials, moving cargo, and cleaning the area.
• Ladle. It is used when working with mineral fertilizers and other low-flowing and bulk cargo (for example, snow, grain).
• Agricultural forks without grip. Used in the agricultural, industrial and construction industries.
• Bayonet forks. They are necessary for loading rolls and bales. And also for cleaning livestock buildings from manure and dismantling stacks of hay and straw.
• Mowers. They help prepare hay for animal feed, remove grass before cultivating the soil or planting, and maintain order along the highway and forest belt.
• Rake grid. Used for picking, transporting, loading and stacking hay and straw.

The list of mounted, trailed and semi-mounted equipment also includes: a device for grabbing logs and lifting various loads, units for cultivating soil.

Maintenance and repair

In most cases, owners carry out maintenance and restoration of the MTZ-1025 tractor themselves. The service interval is 240 operating hours. Lubricants marked M8B and M10B are recommended for use.

According to reviews from owners, the MTZ-1025 turbocharger often fails. This is due to large and frequent loads. The first sign of problems with the compressor is loss of power or characteristic black smoke. The shaft and bearings are subject to wear. It is not always possible to carry out restoration, so it is often recommended to replace the complete part. The shaft can be ground by replacing the bushings, and as for the bearings, it’s a straightforward replacement.

Plow adjustment

The adjustment takes place in two stages: preliminary (before going into the field) and final (immediately before work).

• place spacers under the wheels and lower the plow so that the plowshare touches the surface;
• lower the support wheel all the way down;
• align the planes of the plow so that the frame is parallel to the base;
• align the hitch braces according to the front holes in the longitudinal rods;
• Set the chains on the hinge so that they sag;
• Set the left brace so that the distance between the hinge axes is 5.15 cm.

In the field, the width and depth of the treated surface is checked. If there is a difference in plowing, the front link is lengthened or shortened. The correct location of the central rod is parallel to the longitudinal axis. The chains are down.

Adjustment of valves

Perform in the following sequence:

• open access to the cylinder heads;
• remove the caps;
• check the fastenings at the rocker arm shaft posts (the degree of tightening);
• the piston on the first cylinder must be at TDC, the valves are pressed;
• Loosen the lock nut on the adjusting screw and set the desired gap by unscrewing or tightening the screw.

Scope and purpose

The scope of application of the model is quite wide. Thus, the agricultural machine is used to work with semi-mounted and mounted equipment. The tractor can be seen in use by public utilities, gardening, livestock farming, forestry and other industries.

The main purpose and scope of application is agriculture. The tractor prepares the soil for sowing, tending the crop, and also prepares the land for winter.
