MTZ-82.3 - did the Belarusians manage to finalize the Soviet tractor to the ideal

The MT-80/82 tractor is a legend of the Soviet Union. Probably, in the collective farms it was the most common agricultural equipment. The legendary tractor appeared back in 1974 and continues to be produced to this day. Of course, since then the technique has been repeatedly modernized and refined. But the tractor remains the cheapest to repair and versatile in operation. You need to immediately explain how the MTZ-80 differs from the version with the index 82. No, these are not the years of the start of production. We have already mentioned when the serial production of equipment began. It’s just that the MTZ-80 has a rear-wheel drive, and the version with the index 82 has two drive axles. As for the numbers, this is the initial engine power.


The fact that Soviet tractors were distinguished by the quality of workmanship is known not only in the countries of the former Soviet Union. This technique is still working in Africa and Latin America. But in the late 80s, the culture of production began to fall. In the 90s, things generally went badly - they had to reduce costs through the use of low-quality materials, components and assemblies. Yes, and experienced workers at the MTZ plant decreased. But gradually the level of assembly and components began to grow again. And here is the latest modification of the legendary tractor - MTZ-82.3. What he became - will tell the mechanics working on this technique. And the authors of the channel asked them “this is avby”.
