With a 542-horsepower engine: powerful BELARUS 5425 tractor went to the fields for testing

The powerful BELARUS 5425 tractor has been sent for field testing. This was reported in the press service of the Minsk Tractor Plant (MTZ).

The new product can work for more than 10 hours without refueling. The tractor has no analogues in the world and is considered the most powerful agricultural machine among models of classical design. It features a monolithic design and a strong frame.

The machine weighs about 19 tons. Such scale is needed so that the equipment can work with powerful agricultural units.

We carried out additional strength calculations, and each unit is designed for load, because the tractor is heavy, and it must work daily without stopping.

The machine operator can control the tractor with one hand, without tension. The hydraulic system of the model with a capacity of 350 liters per minute allows you to quickly process large volumes of land and increases the overall efficiency (efficiency). BELARUS 5425 is equipped with a 542-horsepower Weichai WP14Т engine.

The tractor also received a precision farming system. It is useful where the fields are digitized. This eliminates reseeding and overlapping of grain, saving raw materials and fuel. The tractor can be used on any soil, including heavy (too wet or dry land).

Prime Minister of Belarus Alexander Turchin ordered that agricultural machines BELARUS 5425 undergo pilot operation in strong farms of the country. This will allow us to take into account all the comments and in 2027 to enter mass production.
