The wheel MTZ-50 tractor belongs to groupuniversal tilling machines and a 1.4 t traction class. In the Soviet years, this model was used everywhere to carry out both agricultural and industrial or construction work. The manufacturer of this machine is the Minsk Tractor Plant.
The first MTZ-50 tractor rolled off the assembly line in 1962.This model was produced and supplied to Russia until 1985. Since that time, MTZ has produced limited quantities of such machines, mainly for export. Today, the Minsk plant produces a modified analogue of this model - Belarus-500.
This tractor was valued by machine operators in the Soviet years and is popular with farmers today primarily for:
The simplicity of the design. This factor determines, firstly, the reliability of the model, and secondly, its complete maintainability.
Versatility.The MTZ-50 machine can be used for all types of agricultural work: plowing, fertilizing, harvesting, watering, etc. Also, this model is often purchased by utilities for the removal of sawed branches, construction and household waste, etc. The tractor can work in conjunction with a variety of equipment. It is allowed to use it as a bulldozer, excavator or loader.
Possibility of operation in the most severe weather conditions.
Good cross.Wheels of this tractor can be adjusted if necessary. They are mounted and dismantled as soon as possible, since they are fastened with the help of a special convenient connection.
Low cost.This is one of the cheapest tractor models on the modern domestic market. Of course, today you can purchase only a used “Belarusian” of this modification. At the same time, not only the purchase, but also the repair of this equipment is cheap. Parts MTZ-50 are also inexpensive.
Unpretentiousness to the quality of fuel.
The disadvantages of this model are typical for allSoviet-made tractors: lack of air conditioning and noise. The disadvantages of this model include also not particularly high performance when processing very large areas.
In operation, the MTZ-50 tractor, the scheme of which is presented below, in almost 60 years of operation proved to be just fine. It is not surprising, since the technical characteristics of it are really quite good.
The frame of this machine form a semi-frame, welded fromtwo channels and beams, clutch, rear axle and gearbox. The engine is fixed in front. Also on the beam are oil and water radiators, power steering and blinds. The hydraulic system of this model is separate-modular. The machine is equipped with disc brakes and a manual transmission.

On the basis of the tractor MTZ-50 once Minskytractor plant produced several modifications. The machine with the "K" index in the marking was designed by MTZ together with engineers from Tbilisi. Its distinctive feature is increased stability on the slopes.
For work in the vineyards, a modification 50B was once used, and in the rice fields - 50P. The 50N car differs from the base wheel diameter and low ground clearance.
If we compare MTZ-50 with modern brandstractors, of course, he will definitely reveal some shortcomings. However, they all overlap with the cheapness of this model, ease of use and reliability. Very good performance is different and modern analogue - "Belarus 500". If necessary, you can buy not a used Soviet tractor, but a new, equally productive and reliable model.
