In our time, 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 the processing of such fields also requires specialized transport. It will greatly simplify and speed up the execution of operations planned by a person. One of these machines, which is ideal for these works, is the MTZ-132 tractor. All its technical capabilities, characteristics and nuances of use will be discussed in this article.

Destination

This compact four-wheeled assistant to the modern landowner is based on the well-known Belarus-112 tractor. The model is produced at the Smorgon aggregate plant (since 1992). MTZ-132 is actively used for harrowing and row-spacing of beet and potato crops. Also, the tractor is well suited for cultivating and plowing light types of soil, mowing the grass cover, sprinkling with mineralfertilizing fields, backfilling pits or trenches, 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 that has a multi-plate, friction, permanently 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 using 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 below, includes the following main components:

• Pump gear NSh6-3-L. It is powered directly by the engine.
• Spool-valve hydraulic distributor, single-section, three-position, with an open center.
• Hydraulic cylinder that controls a fixed attachment.

Features

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 completelydeactivate 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 ensures optimal contact of the wheels with the underlying surface and does not allow the machine to slip in the ground.

Dignity

The power take-off shaft allows the operator to use the 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 a parking lot or garage. The owners also say that the unit is indispensable during the performance of the so-called "jewelry" work, which cannot be performed by larger machines.

Motor

MTZ-132 is equipped with Lifan LF188FD and Honda GX390 four-stroke single-cylinder engines that use gasoline as fuel. Their working volume is 389 cubic centimeters. These power units have a rated power: it is 9.6 kW or 13 horsepower. The recommended brand of fuel is AI-92 gasoline. Engines are air-cooled and are classified as carburetor type. The motors are started both from a universal electric starter connected to the battery, and manually, depending on the situation and needs.

1. Operating weight - 532 kilograms.
2. Forward speed (minimum) - 2.83 km/h.
3. Forward speed (maximum) - 17.72 km/h.
4. Reverse travel (lowest speed) - 4.03 km/h.

10. Crankshaft rotates at 3600 rpm at rated power.
11. Fuel consumption is 313g/kWh at minimum mode.

Attachments

MTZ-132N can work together with the following accessories:

• KTD-1.3 cultivator. It is used for deep loosening and leveling the soil, cutting various weeds, and applying mineral fertilizers to the soil.
• Trailer P05.02 "Belarus". It, in turn, is used to work with cars.
• Tooth harrow BT-1. B. It is necessary for loosening the upper layers of dried soil after plowing and harrowing seedlings. And also for the deformation of the crust on the surface of the earth.
• Universal plow PU-00.000, which is used during plowing and digging potatoes.
• Universal hiller OU-00.000, designed for processing tilledcrops.
• Tilling cutter FR-00700B, necessary for cultivating soils with a certain slope.
• A visor to protect the driver from the rays of the sun 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 bulk soil and backfill trenches and pits.
• KTM-00.000 small-sized mower used for grassland maintenance.
• K-6M potato digger (digging potatoes).

The nuances of transportation to the place of work

How to transport the MTZ-132 tractor to the working point? The instructions supplied with this machine indicate to the user that the machine can be moved both on its own and in a trailer for an ordinary car. Knowledgeable people say that the first option is not very acceptable, since the MTZ-132 is still a special technique. And driving this tractor for long distances is not very rational. The second option greatly simplifies the life of the tractor owner, since in this case the equipment retains its working resource as much as possible.

The tractor operation and repair manual signals to the person servicing it that almost all repair operations should be carried out with the engine turned off, and in some situations even when the electrical terminals on the machine's battery are disconnected. Bolted connections are tightened with the same force. When performing any work froma person needs attention and caution, since a tractor is a technique that contains current-carrying parts and heavy parts.

As for the practical side of the issue of the advisability of purchasing this tractor, it is worth noting here 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 problems in any weather conditions.

Secondly, all components and parts of the tractor are maintainable, uniform and can be quickly replaced. Quite often, the MTZ-132 repair comes down to a few fairly simple manipulations, which definitely saves the owner of this equipment. Also, in many cases, the user can 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 the preservation of its working life.
