MTZ-132: reviews, photos, instruction

Nowadays, agricultural work is carried out not only on a large scale and in large areas, but also on relatively small land areas that many private farmers can own. It goes without saying that processing such fields also requires specialized transport. It will greatly simplify and accelerate the implementation of planned human operations. One of such 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 helper of the modern landowner was created on the basis of the well-known Belarus-112 tractor. The model is produced at the Smorgon Plant (since 1992). MTZ-132 is actively used for harrowing and processing row between beet crops, potatoes. Also, the tractor is well suited for cultivation and plowing of light soil types, grass mowing, sprinkling of mineral fertilizers, pits of pits or trenches, cleaning of streets and other areas from debris and snow. In addition, MTZ-132 is used to move a variety of goods and work related to the use of devices that have a drive from the power take-off shaft (woodworking units, pumps) or stationary drives.

Device Features

Mini-tractor MTZ-132 is equipped only with a mechanical transmission, which has a multi-disc, frictional, constantly closed clutch, working in an oil sump. The machine also has a four-speed gearbox with three rear and four front steps. On the front axle there is a differential. It provides a lock option, which in turn is activated by a lever mounted on the dashboard directly in front of the driver.

Hydraulic system

The water system MTZ-132, whose photo is shown below, includes such basic units:

• The pump is gear НШ6-3-Л. It is powered directly from the engine.
• Hydraulic distributor valve-valve one-section, three-position, having an open center.
• Hydraulic cylinder, which controls a fixed attachment.

Characteristics

MTZ-132 differs from many tractors in that it has the drive of all its four running wheels. The user can, if desired, completely deactivate the rear axle for the required period of time. In addition, the Belarusian unit is equipped with a hinged-articulated frame, which, in turn, allows to increase the degree of maneuverability and patency of the car while reducing the turning radius. Also, the construction of the tractor makes it possible to adjust the wheel track. A clear and deep tire protector ensures optimal contact of the wheels with the underlying surface and does not allow the machine to stall 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 machines, it is very compact and does not take up much space in the parking lot or in the garage. Also, the owners say that the unit is indispensable during the execution of so-called "jewelry" works, which are beyond the power to execute more oversized cars.

Motor

MTZ-132 is equipped with four-cycle 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: 9.6 kW or 13 horsepower. The recommended brand of fuel is AI-92 gasoline. The engines are cooled by air and are ranked as carburettor. Start-up of motors occurs both from the universal electric starter connected to the accumulator, and manually depending on the situation and the need.

Technical data

The described tractor has the following technical characteristics:

1. The operating weight is 532 kilograms.
2. The forward speed (minimum speed) is 2.83 km / h.
3. The forward speed (maximum) is 17.72 km / h.
4. Backward travel (lowest speed) - 4.03 km / h.
5. The backward movement (maximum speed) is 12.94 km / h.
6. The length is 2500 mm.
7. The width is 1000 mm.
8. The height is 2000 mm.
9. The largest weight of the transported trailer (on a dirt road and other coatings) is 700 kg.
10. The crankshaft rotates at a speed of 3600 rpm at rated power.
11. The fuel consumption is 313 g / kWh under the minimum operating conditions.

Attachments

MTZ-132H can work together with the following auxiliary equipment:

• Cultivator KTD-1.3. It is used for deep loosening and leveling of soil, cutting of various weeds, introduction of mineral fertilizers into the soil.
• Trailer P05.02 "Belarus". It, in turn, is used for working with cars.
• The tooth harrow BT-1.B. It is necessary for loosening the top layers of the dried up soil after performing plowing and harrowing the shoots. And also to deform the crust on the surface of the earth.
• Universal plow PU-00.000, which is used during the plowing and digging of potatoes.
• A universal hiller OU-00.000, designed for cultivating tilled crops.
• A tillage cutter ФР-00700B, which is necessary for cultivation of soils having a certain slope of the terrain.
• Visor to protect the driver from sun rays and various precipitation.
• Bulldozer equipment OB12-00.000, which is used to clean the underlying surface from snow and debris, as well as to plan for loose ground and backfill for trenches and pits.
• A small-sized mower KTM-00.000, used to service areas planted with herbs.
• Potato digger K-6M (digs up potatoes).

Nuances of transportation to work place

How to transport the tractor MTZ-132 to the working point? The instruction offered to this machine signals to the user that the machine can be moved both by its own motion and in the trailer for a conventional car. Knowledgeable people say that the first option is not very acceptable, since MTZ-132 is still a special technique. And to travel 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 technology maximizes its working life.

The tractor operation and repair manual signals to the person who serves it that almost all repair operations must be carried out with the engine disconnected, and in some situations and when the electrical terminals on the vehicle battery of the machine are disconnected. The tightening of the bolted joints is carried out with the same force. When doing any work from a person requires attention and caution, since the tractor is a technique that contains current-carrying parts and heavy parts.

As for the practical side of the question of the expediency of purchasing this tractor, it should be noted that this agricultural machine is very popular in the consumer environment because of its valuable qualities. First, the resource of the engine is characterized by many years of trouble-free operation. At the same time, the motor has a unique ability to run without problems in all weather conditions.

Secondly, all the nodes and parts of the tractor are repairability, unification and the possibility of quick replacement. Often, MTZ-132 repairs are reduced to a few simple manipulations, which uniquely allows you to save 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-the-year-round, without fear for the preservation of its working resource.
