Soviet T-150 for export

A real Soviet monster! So you could call the T-150, common in the countryside during the Soviet era. The popularity of technology is surprising: despite the complexity of production, dimensions, the Kharkov plant produced about 750 thousand units. At the same time, a lot was exported: and not only to the countries of the socialist bloc. Tractor The "decaying" West also bought it.

It's all about reliability and cost. Among importers USA, Australia, Great Britain! Can you admit that today some of these countries import tractors from Russia, Belarus or Ukraine?

You will also be surprised when you find out where the first tests of the wheeled Soviet tractor took place. And this is not at all a rural area in the USSR. An incident happened with exports: at that time (and even more so now) the abbreviation “KhTZ” was unfamiliar in the West. But it is necessary to sell, the currency is very necessary. And urgently.

In the meantime, a new brand will be “untwisted”, a lot of time will pass. Therefore, the Soviet "marketers" came up with an unexpected move. The T-150 began to be sold under a name that was known in the United States and other capitalist countries. Under which one, the author of the video on the Mountain of Facts channel will tell you.
