In Belarus tractors, the controls have been moved to the armrest for the first time

The system will reduce effort when operating machinery

In the cabs of Belarus tractors with a capacity of over 350 horsepower, a new armrest with an integrated control system will appear. This convenient element will allow the operator to concentrate on the work without being distracted or changing the position of the hands.

The Minsk Tractor Plant expects to reduce driver fatigue during long shifts and improve work accuracy, explained Igor Zemtsov, chief designer of the enterprise.

An important innovation will be the placement of key indicators and alarms. They will be in the zone of constant visual control of the operator.

The convenient layout will remain even with various adjustments of the seat and its rotation to the reverse position. The new system will be used on the most popular tractor models.
