What the “Honored Collective Farmer” T-74 is capable of after restoration

The Soviet tracked tractor T-74 rolled off the KhTZ assembly lines in 1983. This means he is over 40 years old. Unclaimed, for many years it stood with the tracks torn off, open to the winds and rains. Rusted and rotted. Somehow his merits have already been forgotten. How many fields did the hard worker walk through, dragging a plow, cultivator, seeder, and other attachments? They forgot about the cargo that the 3-ton truck was transporting, drowning in mud and swamps. All Soviet agriculture was pulled by its 75 “horses”.


And our brave hunters and fishermen in cool jeeps? Countless times, the "XNUMX" pulled sophisticated all-wheel drive SUVs out of ditches and snow. But the collective farmer has aged. They abandoned it, too lazy to even dispose of it. However, not everyone has a short memory. Dmitry, the author of the Custom Truck channel, decided to revive the Soviet legend. As zealous and handy as a peasant, he did not pass by the once powerful and durable machine, which had turned into a mountain of scrap metal.

At first, recovery seemed hopeless. But gradually, step by step, the enthusiast restored the old tractor. And then the incredible began - testing equipment in the swamps! The levers were masterfully manipulated by Dmitry Lech's old comrade. It was he who ended up in the swamp. Friends presented us with a breathtaking spectacle: under the roar of a diesel engine and a cloud of black smoke, the T-74 rushes into the most dangerous places. Don’t give up, “seventy-four”, you’re a collective farmer!..
