The MTZ-152N minitractor is a new machine in the range of compact special equipment produced by the Smorgon Tractor Plant. The model specializes in performing not too labor-intensive tasks in the field of agriculture. In almost all types of work, the minitractor is equipped with appropriate mounted and trailed units, of which there are many different types and variations.
The MTZ-152N minitractor has an all-wheel drive system, which provides it with fairly high maneuverability on various types of soil. The equipment belongs to the 0.2 traction class and has quite excellent performance indicators for its segment. The standard equipment of the machine includes a special roll bar that protects the driver from serious injuries when the equipment rolls over. This can happen when working on slopes or on soils with reduced bearing capacity, using heavy units. The brake system and chassis of the model were significantly improved, as a result of which the equipment received increased cross-country ability during the autumn-spring period of operation. In terms of overall dimensions, the minitractor turned out to be quite compact, which directly affected maneuverability. Thus, MTZ-152N fits perfectly into work in gardens and private plots.
Purpose
The MTZ-152N minitractor was specially designed for operation in fairly small areas. However, at the same time, the equipment turned out to be very multifunctional, as it is capable of performing an impressive list of technological and transportation work in such areas as:
- Agriculture. In this area, equipment is often used for plowing and pre-sowing soil treatment, sowing operations of various crops, cultivation, inter-row cultivation, as well as for applying any fertilizers. To perform all these tasks, the tractor uses mounted and semi-mounted units mounted to the rear linkage system. Their operation is facilitated by an on-board hydraulic system, the operating pressure of which reaches 20 megapascals. The hydraulic pump has a capacity of 8 liters per minute, which is quite good.
- Utilities. To work in this area, a necessary criterion is often the presence of a power take-off shaft, which is precisely present in the MTZ-152N model. The existing PTO in independent mode rotates at a frequency of up to 1168 revolutions per minute, when in synchronous mode this value is 7 revolutions per meter of travel. The model is used in conjunction with various snow removal equipment (in particular, a type of frontal plow), as well as with a utility brush, which is necessary for cleaning street and yard areas from various contaminants.
- Freight transportation. The MTZ-152N minitractor has very good traction and coupling characteristics and special devices that make it possible to transport any cargo using either tractor or car trailers and semi-trailers. The rear linkage is designed for loads up to 300 kilograms. With this weight, the model can climb a slope with an angle of 12 degrees without any difficulty.
- Industrial enterprises. In this area, as in the previous one, the machine is used to carry out transportation work. Here the machinery carries out the transportation of raw materials and various products. The tractor enjoys considerable popularity mainly due to its maneuverability, since it will not be difficult for it to turn around in a limited working space. In addition, MTZ-152N is also used with a welding inverter, electric generator, air compressor and many other stationary equipment.
In its class, this mini tractor has a fairly high ground clearance of 300 millimeters under the front wheel axle. With this indicator, the equipment can effectively process low-growing crops. Mostly, owners use the technique for planting and digging potatoes and inter-row cultivation of any vegetation. Thanks to the small turning radius and large overall dimensions, the machine is able to maneuver between trees in garden plots.
Showed himself in the potato fields
Its owner, who grows potatoes for sale in the Tambov region, speaks very positively about the MT3-152. Several long, extensive vegetable gardens with potatoes became exactly the place where this compact tractor fully demonstrated its positive qualities. Namely - maneuverability, high maneuverability, versatility, efficiency and profitability in operation. Gasoline consumption (and the engine on this mini-tractor is gasoline) is consistently low when performing any operation. Experience shows that an hour of operation of the Belarus MTZ-152 mini-tractor uses 3-4 liters of gasoline (92). Testimonies from other owners generally support these figures. One full tank is enough for 5 or 6 (maximum) hours of operation under load.

Device Features
The MTZ-152N minitractor is equipped with a separate hydraulic system equipped with an NSh6-3-L gear hydraulic pump, a hydraulic distributor and one hydraulic cylinder that controls the mounted units. It should be noted that separate hydraulics are used on many modern models of mini tractors, since they are much more efficient. As additional options, the consumer is offered a front hitch.
This version differs from its previous model in the following advantages:
- Technical and operational characteristics have been significantly increased.
- The manufacturer has significantly reduced the turning radius of the machine, making the equipment very convenient to use in confined working spaces.

A single-stage gearbox with spur gears is installed on the front axle. The center differential of the drive axle traditionally has a mechanical locking function, which the driver can turn on and off independently. The final drives are single-disc type gearboxes, which also have spur gears. The torque from the power plant is transmitted to the rear axle (if it is engaged) through the secondary shaft of the gearbox.
The equipment is controlled by a special operator located under the driver’s seat. This machine can be equipped with two types of seats. Both offered types are equipped with several adjustment modes (vertical and horizontal). The seats are also equipped with a special suspension that provides increased comfort when performing any work.
The dashboard of the MTZ-152N minitractor has a block of control lamps and a working hours counter. There is a special panel on which there are buttons for turning on the alarm, stopping the power unit and turning off the electric starter and all devices. The controls have a very convenient location, which, together with the adjustment of the driver's seat, allows you to take the most comfortable position.
