Minsk Tractors

The diesel engine is a kind of internal combustion engine. This efficient prime mover is increasingly used on locomotives, tractors, bulldozers, excavators, and other heavy machines.

One of the most important applications of the diesel engine is their use on tractors. Tractors are self-propelled machines capable of performing a lot of duties in agri­culture, construction industry and at industrial plants.
One of the most famous tractor-building factories in our country is the Belarus factory in Minsk. The machines turned out by the Belarus factory are very popular and export­ed to 60 countries including the socialist countries, the USA, Great Britain, Canada, France and India.
The Belarus tractors are simple in design and not expen­sive. In addition, they are reliable in operation and can run for a long time without repairs.
The Minsk factory turns out a lot of models varying from a small 30-horse-power unit to a very large vehicles of 255 hp. The Belarus tractors can be practically em­ployed in any climate and can meet the requirements of many users.
