Nowadays, agricultural work is carried out not only on a large scale and on large areas, but also on relatively small land, which can be owned by many private individuals - farmers. It goes without saying that processing such fields also requires specialized transport. It will significantly simplify and accelerate the implementation of human-planned operations. One of these machines, which is ideal for carrying out these works, is the MTZ-132 tractor. All of its technical capabilities, characteristics and nuances of use will be discussed in this article.
Appointment
This compact four-wheeled assistant to the modern landowner was created on the basis of the Belarus-112 tractor, well-known to many. The model is produced at the Smorgon aggregate plant (since 1992). MTZ-132 is actively used for harrowing and processing row-spacing crops of beets and potatoes. Also, the tractor is well suited for cultivating and plowing light types of soil, mowing grass cover, sprinkling fields with mineral fertilizers, backfilling pits or trenches, and cleaning streets and other areas from debris and snow. In addition, MTZ-132 is used to move a variety of goods and perform work related to the use of devices driven by a power take-off shaft (woodworking units, pumps) or stationary drives.
Device features
The MTZ-132 mini-tractor is equipped only with a mechanical-type transmission having a multi-plate, friction, constantly closed clutch operating in an oil sump. The machine also has a four-speed gearbox with three rear and four front steps. There is a differential on the front axle. It provides a locking option, which, in turn, is activated by a lever mounted on the dashboard directly in front of the driver.
Hydraulic system
The MTZ-132 hydraulic system, the photo of which is shown somewhat below, includes such main nodes:
- Gear pump NSh6-3-L. It is driven directly by the engine.
- Single-section valve-valve, three-position, having an open center.
- Hydraulic cylinder controlling a fixed mounted attachment.
Characteristics
MTZ-132 differs from many tractors in that it has a drive of all its four running wheels. In this case, the user, if desired, can completely deactivate the rear axle for the required period of time. In addition, the Belarusian unit is endowed with an articulated frame, which, in turn, allows you to increase the degree of maneuverability and maneuverability of the machine while reducing the turning radius. Also, the design of the tractor makes it possible to adjust the wheel track. A clear and deep tire tread provides optimal wheel contact with the underlying surface and prevents the machine from slipping in the ground.
Advantages
The power take-off shaft allows the operator to use MTZ-132 in various modes. User reviews say that this mini tractor has very good maneuverability. Compared to standard cars, it is very compact and does not take up much space in the parking lot or in the garage. The owners also say that the unit is indispensable during the implementation of the so-called "jewelry" work, which cannot be performed by larger machines.
Motor
MTZ-132 is equipped with four-stroke single-cylinder engines Lifan LF188FD and Honda GX390, which use gasoline as fuel. Their working volume is 389 cubic centimeters. These power units have a rated power of 9.6 kW or 13 horsepower. The recommended fuel grade is AI-92 grade gasoline. Engines are cooled by air and are classified as carbureted. Motors start both from a universal electric starter connected to the battery, and manually, depending on the situation and need.
Technical details
The described tractor has the following technical characteristics:
- Operational weight - 532 kilograms.
- Forward travel speed (minimum) - 2.83 km / h.
- Speed forward (maximum) - 17.72 km / h.
- Moving back (lowest speed) - 4.03 km / h.
- Driving back (maximum speed) - 12.94 km / h.
- Length - 2500 mm.
- Width –1000 mm.
- Height - 2000 mm.
- The largest weight of the transported trailer (on a dirt road and other coatings) is 700 kg.
- The crankshaft rotates at a speed of 3600 rpm at rated power.
- Fuel consumption is 313 g / kWh with minimum operation.
Attachments
MTZ-132N can work together with the following auxiliary equipment:
- Cultivator KTD-1.3. It is used for deep loosening and leveling of the soil, cutting a variety of weeds, applying mineral fertilizers to the soil.
- Trailer 05.02 "Belarus". It, in turn, is used to work with cars.
- BT-1B. It is necessary for loosening the upper layers of dried soil after plowing and harrowing seedlings. And also for deformation of the crust on the surface of the earth.
- The PU-00.000 universal plow, which is used during plowing and digging potatoes.
- Universal hiller OU-00.000, designed for processing row crops.
- Tillage mill FR-00700B, necessary for cultivating soils with a certain slope of the terrain.
- A visor to protect the driver from the sun and various atmospheric precipitations.
- The bulldozer equipment OB12-00.000, which is used to clean the underlying surface from snow and debris, as well as to plan for bulk soil and backfill trenches and pits.
- KTM-00.000 small-sized mower used for servicing grassed areas.
- K-6M potato digger (digs up potatoes).
The nuances of transportation to the place of work
How to transport an MTZ-132 tractor to a working point? The manual proposed for this car signals to the user that the machine can be moved both under its own power and in a trailer for a regular passenger car. Knowledgeable people say that the first option is not too acceptable, since MTZ-132 is still a special technique. And to go on this tractor for long distances is not too rational. The second option greatly simplifies the life of the owner of the tractor, because in this case, the equipment retains its working resource as much as possible.
The operation and repair manual for the tractor signals to the person who is servicing it that almost all repair operations should be carried out with the engine turned off, and in some situations when disconnecting the electrical terminals on the machine’s battery. Tightening bolted connections is performed with the same effort. When performing any work, attention and caution are required from a person, since a tractor is a technique that contains current-carrying parts and heavy parts.
As for the practical side of the question of the advisability of acquiring this tractor, it is worth noting that this agricultural machine is very popular in the consumer environment because of its valuable qualities. Firstly, the engine resource is characterized by many years of trouble-free operation. At the same time, the motor has a unique ability to start without any problems in any weather conditions.
Secondly, all components and parts of the tractor are distinguished by maintainability, uniformity and the ability to quickly replace. Quite often, MTZ-132 repairs come down to several fairly simple manipulations, which definitely saves the owner of this equipment. Also, in many cases, the user is able to independently carry out maintenance or minor repairs. Thirdly, there is a large number of attachments, due to which it is possible to use the machine almost all year round, without fear for maintaining its working resource.
