Introduction
Belarus MTZ-525: Agricultural Tractor
The Belarus MTZ-525 is a four-wheel drive agricultural tractor produced between 1977 and 1983. Designed as a utility tractor, this model was built to address standard field operations with a focus on mechanical reliability and traction.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.7-liter, 4-cylinder engine, designated D60. It generates a rated power output of 67 hp (50.0 kW) at 1800 RPM. The engine is characterized by a torque output of 193.3 lb-ft (262.1 Nm), which peaks at a low engine speed of 1100 RPM, providing steady lugging capability for draft-heavy tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MTZ-525 features a mechanical transmission providing 9 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing the operator to select appropriate speeds for various field conditions. It is equipped with four-wheel drive as a standard feature, supported by hydrostatic power steering and disc brakes to ensure maneuverability and effective stopping power during operation.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system delivers a total flow of 13.2 gpm (50.0 lpm). At the rear, the tractor is equipped with a hitch capable of lifting 5,954 lbs (2700 kg). The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at 540 RPM and includes a ground speed option, which is suitable for implements requiring synchronization with the tractor's travel speed.
Dimensions and Weight
With a wheelbase of 96.5 inches (245 cm) and a total operating weight of 8,092 lbs (3670 kg), the MTZ-525 offers a stable platform for field work. The tractor is configured with 8.30-20 front tires and 13.6-38 rear agricultural tires, optimized for traction in typical soil environments.
Conclusion
The Belarus MTZ-525 serves as a durable, mechanical-focused tractor suitable for small to medium-scale agricultural operations. Its combination of four-wheel drive, sufficient hydraulic capacity, and high-torque engine makes it a versatile machine for general cultivation, transport, and implement handling.
