MINSK, 5 February (BelTA) - Will a BELARUS tractor start after being completely frozen? Employees of Minsk Tractor Plant (MTZ trademark) put it to the test, BelTA has learned.
Workers at MTZ doused a BELARUS 1222.3 tractor with cold water and left it out in the cold on the factory grounds.
After some time, the vehicle became completely encased in ice. Following this, one of the MTZ employees climbed into the cab, turned the key in the ignition – and the tractor started up.
