Belarus

Based on the Belarus 3022, in 2009 a more powerful model 3522 was introduced, equipped with a 7.1-liter Deutz engine. The hydraulics with an adjustable displacement pump were purchased from Rexroth. The transmission was mechanical 24+12 (with creeping gears 36+24) and featured a 6-speed quick shift. The clutch was a dry 2-plate type.

In 2015, the only versions meeting Western requirements were the Stage IIIb-compliant 3522.5, which had a Deutz engine, and the 3522.6 equipped with a Cummins engine.

In 2016, a 466-horsepower prototype Belarus 4522 was introduced, which entered the sales program in 2019. At that time, its engine was a 12.5-liter Caterpillar with a power output of 431 hp.

Belarus introduced models meeting different emission requirements as regulations tightened, and all the old versions remained in the lineup for markets that were satisfied with them. The novelty of the 4-series was the common rail injection system, which allowed meeting Stage IIIA requirements. The 5-series introduced in 2013 featured urea injection, achieving Stage IIIb/Tier 4i levels. In 2015, the 6-series came out, equipped with an oxidation catalyst and emissions compliant with Stage IV/Tier 4. It is noteworthy that these requirements were met with their own engines, although at the lower emission levels, engines purchased externally were initially needed.

The 150-210 horsepower Belarus tractors did not gain much popularity, at least in Europe. Their technology was quite simple for their size class. The transmission was 16+8 or 24+12 without creep gears. The lifting capacity was 6.5 tons, and the power lift was standard.

In autumn 2019, the 1523.6 was introduced with a new appearance.

Belarus 1523.5-2022.6

In 1999, Belarus took a bold step towards larger tractors with the introduction of the 155-horsepower 1522. The 7.12-liter six-cylinder engine was fundamentally the same as the one previously introduced in the 1221 model. Similarly, the 16+8 transmission without a creeper gear was derived from the smaller model. The angular, 1990s-style design was new, and no other models with a similar style were introduced. In the 1523, introduced in 2004, the design shifted to a rounder, streamlined style, following the trend of smaller new models. The 1523 featured the same curved-glass cab as the 1222.

The lifting capacity was 7000 kg, appropriate for the tractor's size, and a Bosch electric lift was typically standard equipment. Three hydraulic valves were standard. The standard tires were relatively small for the size of the tractor.

In the intermediate-cooled 1523.3, introduced in 2006, the design shifted to a rear end and shorter wheelbase similar to the smaller models. The 1523.4, equipped with a Deutz engine, was also produced with a longer wheelbase.

The 2022 differed in design from the 1522/1523 but had minor technical differences. The engine was either Belarus’s own 7.1-liter or a similarly sized Deutz.

Vladimir Tractor Factory developed a slightly more powerful T-30 based on the T-25 in the mid-1970s. The engine power was increased to 30 horsepower. The transmission also came from the T-25, meaning it featured a directional reverser and crawling gears. In Sweden, this model was sold under the name Belarus 30. The same series also included the 3-cylinder T-45.

In the early 1990s, the T-30 became a tractor with a distinctive appearance. A new feature was independent power and hydrostatic steering. Most of the tractors produced were the T-30A model, which were four-wheel drive versions.

The successors to these models were the sloped-nose VTZ-2032 and VTZ-2048.

In 1956, the HTZ-7 was replaced in production at the Kharkov factory by the DT-14, which had a 14 hp diesel engine. The transmission, rear axle, and the trailer hitch attached to the rear assembly were the same as in its predecessor. The engine was single-cylinder, water-cooled, and four-stroke. In the first DT-14, starting was done with a crank handle, and in the developed DT-14A version, starting was done with gasoline. In 1957, the DT-14B was introduced, which had electric starting and a two-function lift device. It had 4 forward and 4 reverse gears; with a direction reverser and a crawler gear, it had 5 forward and 4 reverse speeds. The clutch was manually operated. There were separate brake pedals for steering brakes on the left and right edges, and in addition, there was a main brake pedal. The DT-14 was a so-called reversible tractor: the seat could be moved to the other side of the vertical steering column by loosening two bolts, and the steering wheel simultaneously changed to the other steering column pivot. The tractor’s ground clearance could be adjusted from 33 to 53 cm, which also changed the length. The DT-14 cost about 15% less in Finland than the Pikku-Valmet. About 400 units were sold there. Based on testing by Vakola, it was ordered banned from sales, but by then production had already ended.

The DT-20, introduced in 1958, was a further developed model with a power output of 18 hp at 1600 rpm and, for short durations, 20 hp at 1800 rpm. Electric start, glow plugs, and foot throttle were standard. The hydraulics were renewed and more powerful than before. In addition to steering brake pedals, there was a separate combined brake pedal. Nearly 250,000 units of the DT-20 were produced.

The revised Kirovets K-744 R went on sale in 2014, marking Kirovets' return to many Western European markets. The most significant upgrades were made to the hydraulics. The pump was now standard with load-sensing and had a flow rate of 180 liters per minute. The cab roof section and engine hood were redesigned, and the fuel tank was now made of plastic. The noise level inside the cab was reduced to 75 decibels. For the lower-power model equipped with a Western engine, the engine manufacturer was now Cummins. Models with short wheelbases were removed from the lineup. The lifting capacity was specified as 8,500 kg at the lifting point. Based on the next model series, the lifting capacity at the ends of the drawbars was only about five tons. In 2016, an electro-mechanical gearshift and gear automation became available.

For the year 2018, the flagship model of the lineup introduced was the K-743, which replaced the previous K-744 R. The engine was still Mercedes' 10.7-liter, but now met the stage IV final emissions standard. The power had increased to 435 horsepower. The transmission was a new T5 quick-shift automatic. The range shift operated pneumatically. Load-sensing hydraulics were supplied by Bosch Rexroth. There were four hydraulic blocks. The new T400 axle was reported to be 27% stronger than before, and the brakes had been changed to disc brakes. The lifting capacity was now stated as 5500 kg at a standard distance of 610 mm.

The cab was updated to Comfort Plus. The noise level remained at 75 dB. Despite the purchased components, Kirovets stated that 70% of the tractor’s parts were of its own manufacture.

Outside Western Europe, the series also included many other models with YaMZ, Tutaevsky, and Mercedes engines in lower emissions classes. The last two digits of the model number indicated the maximum power. In 2020, a shorter wheelbase K-525 was also introduced, whose 250-horsepower YaMZ engine met the stage IIIa emissions standard.

The Kharkov Tractor Factory had mainly produced crawler tractors, but in 1950, production began there of a small 12 hp wheeled tractor. The engine of the HTZ-7 was a 2-cylinder gasoline engine. The transmission was a 4+4 equipped with a direction reverser. Also exceptional for this size class was a hydraulic lifting device. The HTZ-7 was a so-called "reversible tractor": the seat could be moved to the other side of the vertically positioned steering shaft by loosening two bolts, and the steering wheel could simultaneously be attached to another pin on the steering shaft. The tractor was started with a crank. In addition to magneto ignition, the only electrical equipment—namely the lights—received power from a dynamo. During a period of six years, about 48,000 units of the HTZ-7 were manufactured. Only a few were imported to Finland; however, its diesel-powered successor, the DT-14, became well known here as well.

The Minsk tractor factory's wheel tractors MTZ-1 and MTZ-2 were introduced in 1953. The technology was borrowed from crawler tractors, trucks, and the Lipetsk factory's wheel tractor KD-35, from which the engine and most of the transmission were sourced. The MTZ-1 was a row-crop model equipped with a narrow front axle, and the MTZ-2 was a conventional wheel tractor. The engine was a 4.1-liter swirl-chamber diesel. Starting was done with a 2-stroke gasoline engine. There were 5 forward and 1 reverse gears. The hydraulics included a draft control system. Approximately 150,000 units of these models were produced in total at Minsk and the JuMZ factory in Ukraine.

The DT-24 was a Soviet general-purpose tractor manufactured by the Vladimirets and Tashkent tractor factories between 1955 and 1958. The engine was a water-cooled 2-cylinder swirl chamber diesel, started with gasoline using a rotary valve operated by hand on the side of the tractor. It had 5+2 gears, and in the last year, a model DT-24-2M with a 6+2 transmission was also available. There were 3- and 4-wheeled versions in production, with the 3-wheeled version continuing production even after the introduction of its successor, the T-28, in 1958. An optional accessory was a sunshade. The tractor was painted green or red.

The Minsk tractor factory was established in 1946 to produce crawler tractors, and the wheeled tractors MTZ-1 and MTZ-2, based on their technology, were introduced in 1953. The successor to the MTZ-2 was the 45-horsepower MTZ-5, which began production in 1956. Features of the MTZ-5 included a power take-off independent of the driving clutch and a hydraulic lifting device equipped with external cylinders. It had 8+2 gears. The basic model was started using a gasoline engine, while the M model had an electric starter.

In the 1960 MS model, the number of gears was increased to 10+2, and the road speed rose to 22.42 km/h. Engine power increased when the RPM was raised from 1500 to 1600.

A rare parallel model of the MTZ-5 was the four-wheel-drive MTZ-7, whose front axle was taken from the GAZ-63 truck. Demand for the MTZ-5 in socialist countries was sufficient to satisfy the factory’s capacity, and they were hardly exported to Western countries. Since 1958, it was also produced in Ukraine at the JuMZ factory, from 1957 in Romania (Utos-45), and later also in China. Production at the Belarus factory ended in 1963, but production continued for significantly longer in several other countries.

The successor to the DT-24 was introduced in 1958 as the T-28, which was manufactured by the Vladimir and later also by the Uzbek (Tashkent) tractor factory. In Finland, about 30 units of this model were sold under the name Valto 28, until sales were stopped after Vakola requested its prohibition based on their tests. The engine was a water-cooled 2-cylinder swirl chamber diesel. Starting was done with gasoline. Compared to its predecessor, it had one more gear, i.e., 6+2. Additionally, a crawling gear was available as an optional feature. The hitch was dual-acting, and according to Vakola’s measurements, the lifting capacity was 1770 kp. The equipment included a differential lock. There was also a 3-wheeled version of the T-28 called T-28X3. The most common color was green, while for export markets it was also available in red.

Below the Belarus model range, the LTZ-40 made by the Lipetsk tractor factory was introduced to Western markets. It was seen for the first time in Finland in 1964, but actual imports only began in 1968. The LTZ was marketed here under the Belarus brand. Its engine was an air-cooled 4.15-liter direct injection diesel. Alongside rear-wheel drive, there was the LTZ-40A, equipped with automatically engaging four-wheel drive and a suspended front axle. Like the Belaruses, the LTZ-40’s three-point hitch was two-acting. The first models, unlike the larger Belaruses, were sold without a cab, and according to test results, the cab on later models was by far the noisiest on the market. The cab floor was flat, and the pedals came through the floor. The transmission was initially 6+1, then 12+2, and from the late 1960s it was equipped with a shuttle shift.

The 1970 Super model featured a new angular hood design, a hydraulically suspended seat, an alternator, and improved brakes.

The updated LTZ-400 (four-wheel-drive version LTZ-420) arrived in Finland in 1972. Instead of the earlier Junkkari cab, it had a Siro cab equipped with a heater. In 1974, the cab was replaced with the Swedish Fernmoon.

In 1978 (last photo) a new flat-floor cab manufactured by Fernmon was introduced, although the floor was full of various levers. At this stage, the small Belarus still had suspended pedals, unlike later models. The steering was now hydrostatic, and drum brakes were replaced by dry disc brakes. Standard equipment now included three separate double-acting hydraulic valves.

At the Kharkov factory, the production of work machine carriers began with the 1-cylinder model DVSŠ-14, followed by the 2-cylinder T-16 introduced in 1959. It featured an air-cooled diesel engine D-16 with a power output of 16 hp. The T-16 was in production from 1961 to 1967. Its successor was the improved T-16M, which was equipped with the same 2.1-liter engine as the T-25 tractor from the Vladimir factory. At this stage, the cab was also new. The 7+1-speed gearbox was redesigned. In the model T-16Mg, produced from 1986 onwards, hydrostatic steering was introduced.

At least in West Germany, the T-16M was sold under the name Belarus 250 GT.

The frame-controlled T-125 from the Kharkiv factory was introduced in 1962. The engine was a 130-horsepower 11-liter inline six-cylinder. Starting was done by using an electric starter to activate an auxiliary engine that started the main engine. There were 16 forward gears and 4 reverse gears. The brakes were air-operated drum brakes, and the clutch was air-assisted. The two-person cabin had heating and ventilation, as well as openable front windows. The primary drive axle was at the front, and the rear axle could be engaged when needed. The front axle was suspended. The tow hook was hydraulic. Later models had a more angular design.

In 1959, Nikita Khrushchev, visiting the USA, became enthusiastic about the large tractors introduced to him and immediately ordered the start of development for a 200…220 hp articulated tractor. The first machine was manufactured at the Kirov plant in July 1962, and serial production began in autumn 1964.

The K-700 was powered by a YaMZ 14.9-liter turbocharged direct injection diesel engine and was equipped with an electric starter. It had 16 forward and 4 reverse gears with hydraulic power shift. The brakes were pneumatic drum brakes on all four wheels, and the steering was hydraulic articulation. The rear axle could be disengaged if necessary. The differential lock was automatic. The cab was spacious, but visibility was poor. Approximately 100,000 units of the first model were produced.

The updated K-700 A, which entered serial production in 1975, featured two fuel tanks, larger tires, and a more modern hood design. These models were usually yellow, and the headlights were moved lower. The gear spacing was unusual, as the speeds in the 2nd and 3rd ranges were nearly the same. There were now two reverse gear ranges, bringing the total to 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. At the same time, a more powerful K-701 with a V12 engine was developed. A total of 350,000 units of these models were produced by 2002.

The K-701 M, introduced in 1988, replaced the 12-cylinder engine with a 17.2-liter V8 featuring an intercooler and four-valve technology. The wheelbase was significantly longer than before, the wheels larger, the cab new, and the fenders more angular. The front axle also had an automatic differential lock. Optional extras included an air-suspended seat, air conditioning, and at least in Germany, a power lift. The hydraulics were undersized for a tractor of this size category.

In the USA, Kirovets tractors were sold under the names Belarus 7011 and 7111.

The Belarus MTZ-50 was introduced to the market in 1962. From the beginning, the Belarus was equipped with a cab. However, by the 1970s, it was replaced with a Finnish-made Junkkari cab. The Belarus engine was a 4.75-liter swirl chamber diesel. The four-wheel drive model had an automatically engaging four-wheel drive equipped with a friction lock. The lifting device was two-stage. The lifting capacity was reported as 2000 or 2500 kg in Finland, and 800 kg in West Germany. In the early years, the weight transfer system was based on a pressure accumulator and the two-stage lifting device. Optimal adjustment of the system was difficult. Quick couplers for external hydraulics were standard equipment, unlike on most other tractors in the 1960s.

In 1970, the Super model was introduced with a more angular bonnet, featuring 65 horsepower and faster reverse gears. At the beginning of 1971, the cab was changed to Ky Laine’s Siro III (last picture). In addition, improvements were made to the intake and exhaust manifold, electrical system, clutch plate, and reverse speeds. In 1972, an improved 67-horsepower MTZ-500/520 was launched. About 1.25 million tractors from the MTZ-50 series were manufactured by 1985.

At the Ukrainian YuMZ factory, the MTZ-5 tractor was manufactured until 1972, although production at the Belarus factory had ended almost 10 years earlier. Even after this, the factory did not make significant advances in tractor technology. The YuMZ-6, introduced in 1971, featured a 4.9-liter engine from the Rybinsk plant, more powerful hydraulics than before, and larger tires. The transmission still had 10+2 gears, and the gear layout in the shift pattern was quite distinctive. Initially, the cab resembled the Belarus model from the 1960s. In export brochures, the model appeared under the names Belarus 6M and 6L (electric or gasoline start). A new cab and an angular engine hood design reminiscent of Belarus were introduced in the late 1970s. The 6KM model, introduced in 1985, had a cab similar to that of contemporary Belarus tractors. By this time, the factory had produced 1.5 million tractors.

The YuMZ-6 was sold in export markets under the Belarus name, but for example, in Sweden, the model was initially known as UMZ-60. In 1985, the export model 611 was launched, which was also sold in Sweden as Belarus 611. The updated export model YuMZ-650 and the first four-wheel-drive model YuMZ-652 with MTZ's front axle were introduced in 1991. It was also sold in the USA, which was YuMZ's most important Western export market.

YuMZ's technical specifications remained fairly consistent from the 1980s into the 2000s. At some point, the steering was changed to hydrostatic. In the transmission, which changed from 10 gears to 9 gears, the 5th gear was the same in both ranges. YuMZ also produced many tractor excavators based on the 6 series.

Vladimir Tractor Factory’s T-25 was known in most export markets as the Belarus 250. The tractor was also considered for Finland, and it was displayed at agricultural fairs there at least in the late 1970s and again in the late 1990s. However, it was determined that the tractor did not meet local requirements. In Sweden it was sold from 1978 onwards.

The T-25 was introduced in 1966 and was built at the Kharkiv plant. Its two-cylinder, air-cooled engine was dimensioned to match the four-cylinder LTZ-40. Power output was 20 hp (DIN) or 25 hp (SAE). From 1972 production was moved to the Vladimir plant, and the power rating was most commonly given as 25 hp (DIN) or 29 hp (SAE). The transmission featured a reverser and offered 6 forward and 6 reverse gears. In the improved model introduced in 1975, the T-25A, there were also two crawler gears forward, giving a total of 8 forward and 6 reverse speeds. The gear levers were located in the center of the cab floor. The hydraulic pump delivered 15.75 liters per minute at a maximum pressure of 140 bar. As an option, a 30 l/min, 175 bar pump was available. At least in the USA, a four-wheel-drive version was also offered. In various countries the 250 was sold without a cab or fitted with locally produced cabs. From the 1975 T-25A model onwards a metal cab was made available. In the 1990s a new cab was introduced, styled to resemble those of the larger Belarus tractors.

In the 2000s the Vladimir plant was still producing the T-25. Modernized VTZ-2000 series models, based on the same technology, were also introduced with updated appearances. In 1994 the Kharkiv plant presented the further developed HTZ-2511, an evolution of the T-25.

In 1973, the Belarus models MTZ-501 and 521 received a Swedish Fernmo cab.

In 1975, the more powerful MTZ-80/82 equipped with a direct injection diesel engine, introduced in 1972, went into production. It featured a 1000 rpm power take-off, which was engaged with a key located underneath the tractor. The transmission included a mechanical overdrive that doubled the gears to 18+4 and provided a road speed of 33 km/h. The differential lock released automatically when the wheels were turned. There were three standard hydraulic outlets.

In the autumn of 1977, the cab was replaced with one manufactured by Maaseudun Kone, and the steering became hydrostatic. According to the advertising text, good visibility, light steering, a warm workplace in winter and fresh in summer, combined with thoughtfully positioned controls, were the defining features of the Belarus. Opinions on the placement of the controls may vary, but at least the steering wheel position was significantly improved. New was also the white color. Turbos were installed in the 505/525 models in Finland, increasing the power to 75 hp.

Some T-150K tractors manufactured by the Kharkov tractor factory were also sold in Finland, and more have come in used condition. The model was based on the T-150 crawler tractor, which came into production in 1970. Compared to its predecessor, the T-125, it was completely redesigned. Initially, the 9.15-liter V6 engine produced 160-165 hp, and from the early 1980s onwards, 175 hp. The T-150K featured hydrostatic frame steering, a suspended front axle, automatically engaging four-wheel drive that activated when the wheels slipped, air-operated brakes, and an air-assisted clutch. The transmission had a 4-speed partial power shift. In 1985, a new cab with larger windows was introduced. The noise level decreased from 87 dB to 84 dB. At the same time, the auxiliary engine start was replaced by a 24-volt electric start. The top speed of 1990s models increased from 28.4 to 36 km/h.

At the end of the 1990s, production of the SMD-63 engine ended. The main replacement became the 11.1-liter engine from the Yaroslavl factory, with the model equipped with it known as the T-150K-09. A rarer model, the T-150K-12, was equipped with a Kamaz engine.

The Belarus lineup for Finland included many domestic modifications, and also in many other countries, importers made national special editions. Therefore, the lineup cannot be comprehensively presented. This page aims to introduce the models as they were generally in Western Europe starting from the 1980s.

The models sold in Finland as the 500-525 series usually corresponded to the MTZ-550/552 equipped with a 55-horsepower D-50 engine and the MTZ-560/562, when the engine was the approximately 60-horsepower D-60. The model equipped with a direct injection diesel engine from the 1990s was the MTZ-570/572.

The Finnish 805/825 series corresponded to the MTZ-80/82, which in many countries was numbered 800/820. These models always had 18+4 gears, but the road speed was lower than in Finland.

In 1984, the turbocharged MTZ-102 was introduced, which was not brought to Finland because turbo models were locally produced here. The 102 had a synchronized 16+8 gearbox, to which creeping gears could also be added, resulting in a total of 24+8 gears. The wheelbase of the 102 was longer than other models. In 1985, the first 6-cylinder tractors were introduced, the 150-horsepower MTZ-142 and MTZ-144, but they remained very rare.

From the mid-1990s onwards, tractors were also manufactured with a backward-tilting plastic hood under the same model numbers, but the original design was still available even in the 2010s. Belarus introduced new models with minor changes, but the old models remained in production. In the 2000s lineup, the MTZ-892 was a new intermediate model with a 90-horsepower turbocharged engine but with a non-synchronized gearbox.

In the spring of 1983, the Pikku-Belarus received a Progress cabin manufactured by Maaseudun Kone, which featured a fuel-operated heating device. The Finnish content of the tractor was stated to be 30% based on the price.

In 1990, the Agross model had its cabin replaced with a more affordable Russian-made one, and the power increased to 58 horsepower.

In LTZ factory production, these export models were called T-40AS. The main difference from the standard model was primarily a greater number of gears in the lower range.

In the autumn of 1983, Maaseudun Kone's Progress cab and silver coloring were introduced also to the larger Belarus models. At the same time, especially in the larger model, several changes were made, which resulted in the model number increasing by five steps. The power rose to 85 horsepower, and the transmission ratios were altered so that the top speed increased close to forty km/h. The lifting capacity was also higher than before.

Here, only the models sold in Finland and Sweden are presented, where the 100 hp model was equipped with a turbo installed in Finland. At the same time, the factory also introduced more powerful models (MTZ-100, 1060/1062), which featured a 24+8 transmission as well as smaller series direct injection versions 570/572. Other versions than those presented here also came to Finland through unofficial importers.

In 1988 and 1989, models named Agrossi, equipped with Soviet-made cabs, were again brought to the Finnish market; these soon supplanted the more expensive Progress models. Agrossi could be optionally equipped with an electronic hydraulic system for the three-point hitch, developed by the Danish Belarus importer. The 526 HX, equipped with a direct injection diesel engine and a reduction fast gear, entered the Finnish market in 1990. Its gear shifting was modified to follow the normal H-pattern.

In 1994, the engine was improved, including replacement of the injection pump. At the same time, the brakes were enlarged and a domestic valve block for the external hydraulics was installed in Finland.

In Western Europe, as a successor to the Belarus T-40 series (known as the 400 series), the Lipetsk tractor factory introduced the LTZ-55 in 1991 and, a year later, the 60-horsepower LTZ-60. The engines were still air-cooled 4.15-liter models. However, the LTZ-60AB model featured a Minsk 4.75-liter water-cooled engine, and the LTZ-60AV had a Rybinsk 4.9-liter water-cooled engine, which was also used in JuMZ factory tractors. Alongside the traditional shuttle gearbox, a 6+1-speed transmission was added, which also included a 4+1 crawling gear. The most significant improvements compared to the T-40 were in the cabin.

In the early 2000s, LTZ expanded its product range with two larger models, the LTZ-95 and LTZ-120. These featured engines from the Minsk factory and 16+8 transmissions. Production of these apparently remained limited. Like the smaller models, these were also manufactured or at least showcased at exhibitions in both angular and rounded versions. LTZ went bankrupt in 2004, and the final effort in Lipetsk tractor production ended in 2009.

In the years 1994-1995, the updated Belaruses were introduced. The most important change was the synchronized gearbox, except for the first and reverse gears as well as the range gear. The gear lever was now on the side, and the same lever was also used to shift the range gear. The front design was renewed, and the cabin was painted black. The engines were the familiar 4.75-liter ones. As a novelty, the 1221 model was equipped with a 7.1-liter six-cylinder engine. The old features were retained, such as the dual-action lifting device, automatically engaging four-wheel drive, and front axle limited-slip differential. Most often, these models also featured the new, straight front axle.

In Finland, Belaruses were sold alternately by Mateko, Agroma, and Agri-Kymi in the early 2000s. The model sold under the number 920 did not necessarily have a synchronized gearbox or a straight front axle but rather corresponded more to the international model 820. Here, the rear tires were usually size 18.4-34. In the mid-2000s, the GL or Green Line series was marketed here, with green coloring and a modernly designed fiberglass hood. For us, the 1025’s power was stated as 115 hp, differing from the international 105 hp. The Carraro front axle was available as an optional extra.

In 1995, updated versions of the K-700 A and K-701 M, the K-734 and K-744, were introduced. The cab was completely new, and the window area was much larger than before. For the German market, standard equipment included a Bosch electric lift, a suspended front axle, an air-suspended seat, and air conditioning. The K-744 was available with YaMZ engines of 270, 335, and 350 horsepower. The K-744 A had a 250-horsepower YaMZ engine.

At the end of the 1990s, a new slant-nose model line from the Vladimirets tractor factory was introduced. The VTZ-2027 was the successor to the T-25, and the VTZ-2032 was developed from the T-30. In 2001, the VTZ-2048, the successor to the T-45, was released. The engines were the factory's own air-cooled 2- and 3-cylinder models. The transmission had long been the 8+6 gear shuttle transmission.

In 2006, the models T-50 and T-85 were announced. Of these, the T-50 was equipped with a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. The cabin was new, with a curved glass windshield. In other respects, it largely corresponded to the VTZ-2048 model. The T-85 had a 4-cylinder air-cooled engine developed in Vladimirets and a Carraro transmission. Perkins engines were also installed in this model. In terms of price, this model competed evenly with the 85 hp Belarus.

In 1997, a frame-steered tractor developed from the T-150K, the HTZ-17221, was introduced. The cab was positioned further back than before, exactly in the center of the axles. The noise level was reduced by replacing the control rods with cables. The power take-off was engaged pneumatically. For the first time, the steering wheel was adjustable. There were hardly any technical differences. The drawbars were stronger than before, and the tow hook had been improved. In 2005, Deutz engines became an alternative to the YaMZ engine. In 2006, a model equipped with a plastic hood and a new cab was introduced; it was initially called the HTZ-17222 and later renamed HTZ-17221-09. In 2010, the power was increased to 180 horsepower, and alongside it came the 210/240-horsepower HTZ-17221-21, which was later called the HTZ-240K. The 240-horsepower model had a 14.9-liter YaMZ V8 engine. The 210-horsepower version had either an MTZ or Deutz engine. In 2013, updated hydraulics with a 90-liter reservoir and a 16+8 transmission were introduced. In 2015, the HTZ-246K equipped with a Volvo Penta engine was unveiled.

In addition to the frame-steered models, HTZ’s lineup included the slightly lighter rigid-frame 160 series, tracked tractors T-150 and HTZ-181, and the smaller successors of the T-25 model, HTZ-2511 and HTZ-3510-3522.

At the Ukrainian YuMZ factory, development was slow even by Eastern Bloc standards. However, in 1998, the age-old engine was tuned to produce 80 horsepower in the 8070/8270 models. Other differences compared to the parallel 60-horsepower 6 model were minimal. During power take-off at 1000 rpm, a power output independent of the driving clutch was achieved. The clutch was stronger. The steering wheel was adjustable. The factory introduced its first four-wheel drive models alongside these: the 8270 and the 8271, equipped with a gasoline engine starter. In the early 2000s, production also included the 8080/8280 equipped with an 82-horsepower Iveco engine. However, the majority of the factory's production still consisted of the 60-horsepower 6 models.

The 8040 and 8240 models came in 2003. These had an MTZ factory engine and a 12+3 speed gearbox. The 8244 model featured a Carraro front axle. The 8040.2 and 8244.2 models had a faster 9+2 speed gearbox for road speeds. In later M models, the red parts of the outer shell were replaced with more rounded plastic parts, and the controls were modernized. Four-wheel drive models had significantly larger 12.4R24 front wheels.

The improved P-model of the Kirovets K-744 went on sale in the year 2000. Initially, YaMZ engines were offered in 250-, 300-, and 350-horsepower versions, and later also in 390 and 420 horsepower. Mercedes' 11.97-liter OM 457 engines were available in 354 hp (K-744P2M), 401 hp (K-744P3M), and 428 hp (K-744P3M-1) versions. After the mid-2000s, either an 87 l/min open hydraulic system or a 100 l/min closed hydraulic system was available.

In 2001, the 420…500-horsepower K-745 was introduced. Its engine manufacturers were YaMZ, Mercedes, and Deutz. Unlike the smaller models, the transmission was a 12+2-speed full powershift.

In 2002, a completely new-looking, round-shaped Belarus 1222 was introduced. A couple of years later, smaller models were added to the updated lineup, which received the model designation suffix .3. The 1222 model featured a new, curved-glass cab, which, however, was not included in the smaller models; they still had the older-style cab. Later, a parallel model 1221 with the old-style cab was also introduced alongside the 1222.

The "three-series" featured oil-bath disc brakes, electric four-wheel drive engagement, automatic differential lock, separate hydraulic oil, 3 hydraulic valves as standard, and a side exhaust pipe. The engines were intercooled 4.75-liter four-cylinders and 7.12-liter six-cylinders. The 6-cylinder models also had electric PTO engagement. The 1222 was also available equipped with a Deere six-cylinder engine. Models equipped with a 16+8 gearbox had a dry dual-plate clutch. The cabin noise level was successfully reduced slightly from the traditional 85 decibels. In Finland, some models were reported to have slightly higher power ratings than elsewhere.

In 2003, Belarus introduced its first large tractors, the 2522 (250/265 hp) and the 2822 (280 hp). The engines were 7.1-liter Deutz or 8.7-liter Detroit Diesels. The hydraulics with variable displacement pumps were purchased from Rexroth. The transmission was mechanical with 24+12 gears (with crawler gears 36+24), equipped with a 6-speed shuttle. The clutch was a dry 2-plate type.

The 3022, introduced in 2007, featured a more refined design. Otherwise, the differences were mainly limited to higher power. In 2009, a concept tractor with an electric powertrain for the future was introduced. This was designated as the 3023.

The 3022.B, introduced in 2015, had a Minsk-made 8.0-liter engine. However, this was only a Stage II emissions standard model, and the only versions meeting Western requirements continued to be the more powerful 3522 models.

The Vladimirets Tractor Factory merged into the Agromash group along with many other Russian agricultural machinery factories. As a result, the VTZ tractor lineup received Agromash's blue color and new model designations. The smallest model was now the 30TK, corresponding to the VTZ-2032, which replaced its old sloped hood with a higher engine cover and a curved glass cab similar to those of the larger models. The new model was the 60TK, which combined a 3-cylinder engine with an 85TK Carraro transmission. In 2011, a water-cooled D-145TV engine became available for the 85TK. The 60TK and 85TK models were also equipped with SisuDiesel engines.

Agromash's tractor export regions included the CIS countries, North Africa, and South America.

As emission requirements tightened in export markets, Belarus also had to seek solutions to comply with them. The Series 4 models corresponded to the Series 3 but met Tier IIIA requirements. The smaller models used the old 4.75-liter engine equipped with a common rail system, while the larger ones were fitted with Deutz engines. There were also Deutz-engine parallel models of the 1025.4 and 952.4 in the early 2010s. The lifting capacity of the smallest models increased to 4 tons in 2011.

At Agritechnica 2009, the Kirovets K 9000 series was introduced for Western markets, featuring five models equipped with Mercedes engines with power outputs ranging from 354 to 516 horsepower. There were three transmission options: the previously used 16+8, the American TwinDisc full powershift 12+2, and as a new feature, the stepless transmission from the German-Swiss company Mali. It was said to utilize outdated patents from Fendt. The hydraulics were significantly more powerful than previous Kirovets models, with a load-sensing SauerDanfoss pump delivering 190 l/min. This model series remained rare, and production quietly ended by 2013.

At Agritechnica in autumn 2019, Belarus showcased redesigned 7-series models equipped with Caterpillar Stage V compliant engines. Among these, the 742.7 was said to be a prototype of the new 50…75 hp Belarus series. Its engine was only 2.2 liters and did not have urea injection. Various transmissions were available, with mechanical or hydraulic reversers, ranging from 8+8 to 24+24. The hydraulic system was closed-center.

The 923.7 and 1220.7 were based on traditional Belarus technology combined with a 3.6-liter Caterpillar engine. The four-wheel drive was now engageable via electro-hydraulics, allowing automatic activation of the four-wheel drive when braking. The 923.7 featured an electric power take-off.

Standard equipment, at least in Germany, included air conditioning, front weights (not on the 742.7), LED work lights, and electrically adjustable mirrors. The front weights were included in the tractor’s length and weight specifications.
