Description

Founded on May 29, 1946, Minsk Tractor Works (Minski Traktorny Sawod) produces agricultural and forestry vehicles in Belarus. With an 8-10% share of the global market, the company has gradually become one of the world's largest manufacturers of agricultural machinery and has employed almost 20,000 people since 2005. The main product Belarus has been exported to more than 60 countries and is a bestseller. More than three million tractors have been manufactured since the company was founded, more than 70,000 of which were exported to the GDR. No wonder that the tractor could be found in almost every region of the GDR.

The very robust MTS 50 all-purpose agricultural tractor was manufactured in Minski Traktorny Sawod from 1961. The 55 hp tractor reached a top speed of 23 km/h and was mainly imported from the GDR. Three years after the start of series production of the MTS 50, the all-wheel drive version MTS 52 followed. A revision took place as early as 1970, which mainly involved increasing the engine output to 60 hp (44 kW). A silencer was also fitted and the front of the tractor was redesigned. In the 24 years of production, around 1.25 million of both models were produced, an average of around 52,300 units per year. No wonder that a tractor of this robust type can still be found in the fields or on farms today. Even in winter, this reliable helper is often used with a front-mounted snow plow to clear snow-covered roads.
