Tractor DT-75 with a new "heart" - 300 Japanese "ponies" work wonders

Soviet and then Russian tracked tractor The DT-75 is a legendary model. It has been produced since 1962, replacing the DT-54 on the conveyor belt of the Stalingrad plant. Initially, it was distinguished by a specific rounded design of the cabin and a fuel tank located at the rear. Then other plants mastered the tractor, after which experiments with appearance, modifications and engines began. The most common, perhaps, is the "Postman" - a modification with a tank moved to the left side. There were also versions known among builders and farmers as "Kazakhstan" and "Volgar". The DT-75 is still produced in Russia, and at several plants. Of course, they no longer look like the Soviet models, but the basis remains.

The key feature of the DT-75 caterpillar tractor is lightness. For your class, of course. That's just the old Soviet modifications do not differ in power. Versions of the early years of production received 75 hp diesel engines. With. Yes, and these old motors are problematic. You work a shift, you fix a day. And not because the power unit is bad, it's just that spare parts can not always be found. But what if you introduce an imported engine under the hood of the DT-75? This is what the authors of the Combat Crew channel did. They gave the old tractor a Japanese 8 hp V300 engine. C. That is, now the equipment can be called DT-300. And how it goes - see for yourself.
