Introduction
XTZ 1500: Heavy-Duty Articulated Tractor
The XTZ 1500 is a heavy-duty, four-wheel-drive articulated tractor produced in Kharkiv, Ukraine, between 1977 and 1985. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this model served as a primary power unit for heavy traction tasks during its production era.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a 9.1-liter (558 ci) liquid-cooled V-6 engine. It operates at a rated speed of 2100 RPM, producing 175 horsepower (130.5 kW). The engine utilizes a dry air cleaner and features a gasoline pony motor for the starter system, with a total coolant capacity of 41.6 liters.
Transmission and Drive System
Equipped with a partial power shift transmission, the XTZ 1500 offers 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, coupled with a dry disc clutch. The machine features permanent four-wheel drive and utilizes an articulated steering system, which allows for a tighter turning radius despite the tractor's substantial size.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system provides a pump flow of 79.9 liters per minute with a system capacity of 37.1 liters. The rear power take-off (PTO) supports two standard speeds: 540 RPM at 2100 engine RPM and 1000 RPM at 2048 engine RPM, accommodating a wide range of agricultural implements.
Dimensions and Chassis
With an operating weight of 8,436 kg (which can be increased to 9,019 kg with ballast), the tractor provides significant traction. It sits on a 286 cm wheelbase and is fitted with 21.3-24 agricultural tires on both front and rear axles. Braking is handled by pneumatic shoe brakes.
Conclusion
The XTZ 1500 is a robust, high-capacity tractor engineered for demanding field work. Its articulated design, combined with its substantial weight and 175 hp output, makes it a specialized tool for heavy primary tillage and large-acreage farming applications.
