MINSK, 1 May (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko will review the development prospects of domestic tractor manufacturing on Labor Day, BelTA has learned.
The head of state is viewing a demonstration of the experimental BELARUS 5425 high-performance tractor in a field in Minsk District. This 542-hp machine belongs to Class 8 and stands as the most powerful tractor in a conventional layout available today. With its technical specifications, the tractor meets all modern tractor manufacturing trends and is designed to compete with similar foreign models. It is equipped with powershifting, ensuring no interruption of power flow, a high-capacity hydraulic system, and an automated steering system. A 900-liter fuel tank ensures continuous operation for 10 hours. The tractor is also equipped with front and rear hitches with a lifting capacity of 5.5 tonnes and 12 tonnes.
The tractor is built using domestic components. MTZ-manufactured parts account for 76.9% of the total, while other Belarusian enterprises provide 15.8%. Components from CIS countries make up 1.8%, and parts imported from non-CIS countries account for the remaining 5.5%.
The head of state will also see trailed implements for this tractor: a 14-furrow semi-mounted reversible plough manufactured by Minoity Repair Plant; a pneumatic grain seeder by the Lidagroprommash enterprise; and a specialized utility semi-trailer by the Voronovo Agricultural Machinery enterprise.
The tractor will be operating with the APM 12 multifunctional soil-working unit manufactured by the Elezer company.
