Great video,we started with 2 mtz 50 and a t40 Belarus tractor's in the early 70s and my father would change them every 3 years until 1986 when we switched over to case , I loved the Belarus tractor's we even had a 4 ton Belarus muck spreader ,I ended up going to the Minsk tractor factory in 1984 on a dealers trip ,they were turning out 365 tractor's a day then ,they also had a testing center where they would leave leave the tractor running over an obstacle course for 24 hrs at a time , incredible trip tbh,I have got some photos I believe and I ended up working for umo at some of the agricultural show's in the UK, regards Roy

I have great faith in belarus tractors . Glad to hear you had a good experience with them. I think it was a combination of bad dealership and a week supply chain of parts that got them a bad name . Great to hear form someone who worked for them . What happened with year muck spreader

I have not found out to this day who was the lead engineer behind the MTZ 50/52 belarus or elsewhere known as Belarus 500 and 500 Super. But who ever it was they seemed to have very good engineering skills and not just doing a simple knockoff from IH. They put a lot more afford into making the engine and everything else. A company called Tractor Export was responsible for distributing Soviet agricultural machines to various vendors/companies/dealers outside of the union. You can tell if it was a export machine by the fact they have a starter instead of a starting engine. 6 spline PTO instead of a soviet standard 8 spline PTO . The D-50 engine has glow plugs or some other pre heating system. Color scheme is very different instead of painting them all just blue. Currently Belarus is the only Soviet tractor you can still get genuine used and new parts. All other Soviet brands that where sold under the same name have gone more or less extinct.

They are a great tractor. But unfortunately there is not a lot taught of them here . I think bad dealership and trouble getting parts but I would prefer to fix my belarus than a massey or a newholland etc

@@morganoflahertymachineryofirel Belarus is very affordable for a small farmer that needs a medium size tractor. If you take care of it properly and follow the users manual it will last. The issue with vendors is there is a lot of knockoff and fake Belarus parts. Not all made in china parts are fake or bad but there are counterfeit things that makes one wonder.

First Comment! Greetings from Alberta Canada! I have two MTZ 82 ( Belarus 820) which are in many ways identical to the MTZ 52. I will guess that your tractor in the picture has the D-50 diesel engine which is an indirect injection. Later models upgraded to a D-240 which is the same as the 820 but with slighly different fuel settings. The D240 and it's variants is still one of the main engines used in current MTZ tractors. Therefore you have 50 years of parts interchange...something no other manufacturer can even remotely claim. Your tractor is electric start; many of this vintage had a 2 cycle gasoline pony motor. The PD-10 starting motor on some units had an electric start but many were started only with a pull rope. To our eyes this seems somewhat slow and painful as a starting system but in Siberian winters and in many developing countries where these tractors were exported the abillity to start them without a battery was in fact a big bonus.

Good video, always loved Belarus tractors, a Neighbour had an MTZ 52 Super in the 90s spreadding turf with a 4 sod hopper machine. He turboed it and had oversize dual wheels, looked like a monster and floated really well. It had quite a nice Lambourn cab I remember. It was worn out and has been lying in a hedge since 2004.
