Tractor MTZ 132N Belarus: technical characteristics, engine, fuel consumption

The Minsk Tractor Plant specializes not only in the production of large-sized agricultural machines, but also in the production of compact tractors. One representative of this line is the MTZ-132N mini-tractor. The history of this hard worker dates back to 1992, when the Smorgon Tractor Plant launched the second generation of mini-tractors, known as “Belarus-082”. After the release of the first cars, the model underwent various upgrades and modifications many times. Later, the changes grew into a full-fledged tractor model - “Belarus-082”, which was much better in all respects than its predecessors. And on the basis of this particular model the MTZ-132N tractor was built. This mini-tractor has found great demand among private clients and in small agriculture.

The car is equipped with one of two gasoline engines of such brands as Lifan LF188FD, as well as Honda GX390. These engines have only one cylinder, the volume of which is 389 cubic milliliters. Their maximum power is also the same - 9.6 kilowatts or 13 horsepower. It would seem that this is not enough, but for full-fledged work the tractor has enough power.

Purpose

The scope of application of this mini-tractor is quite wide, since it is equally popular in rural, farm and municipal households, greenhouses, orchards, vegetable gardens, parks and courtyards.

The tractor performs plowing of fields with light soil, harrowing, cultivation, inter-row processing of potatoes and beets, applying various fertilizers, mowing grass, cleaning street areas and sidewalks from small snow masses and various debris, filling ditches and trenches. In addition to all of the above, the MTZ-132N mini-tractor can easily cope with the transportation of any cargo, since the manufacturer provided for the use of trailers.

It is also an ideal option for working in rather cramped conditions. The tractor is often used by household plots and livestock farms. Since it not only has very small overall dimensions, but also uses an articulated frame, which significantly increases the maneuverability of the machine.

Question answer

What malfunctions occur with 132N minitractor

Most often, malfunctions are associated with:

with a clutch (no transmission of full torque or does not disengage completely, “drives”);
with increased steering wheel play;
clogged hydraulic cylinder breather;
lifting the attachment with the implement;
increased free play of the brake pedal.

Friction clutch MTZ 132N faulty.

Does not transmit full torque:

there is no free play of the clutch pedal (adjust the free play; page 23 of the MTZ 132N instructions);
wear of drive discs (replace);
jamming of disks on splines (check the disks for mobility, remove jamming if necessary).

The clutch “drives”:

the free play of the clutch pedal has been increased (adjust as indicated on page 23 of the MTZ 132N operating instructions);
the cable is being pulled out (shorten or replace the cable).

What kind of clutch is the MTZ 132N?

The clutch is a multi-disc clutch that operates in oil.

What is the MTZ 132N hydraulic system?

The hydraulic linkage system (MTZ 132N hydraulics) includes a hydraulic system and a linkage mechanism. The hydraulic system consists of:

oil tank with filter;
oil pump with switchable drive;
distributor (hydraulic distributor MTZ 132N - R16.1 single-spool, three-position with open center);
hydraulic power cylinder.

The hitch consists of a four-link hinge with length-adjustable braces.

Rear axle MTZ 132N.

The driving axle of the tractor is front, the rear axle is driven by means of a synchronous PTO (Power Take Off Shaft). The rear axle is engaged when necessary. Engaging the rear axle drive with the dependent PTO engaged will lead to breakdowns in the transmission.

What attachments can be used on the Belarus 132N mini tractor?

The following trailed equipment can be used:

cultivator KTD-1.3;
tooth harrow BT-1.6;
universal plow PU-00.000;
universal hiller OU-00.000;
soil tillage milling machine FR-00700B;
bulldozer equipment OB12-00.000;
small-sized mower KTM-00.000;
potato digger K-6M;
trailer P05.02 “Belarus”;
visor protecting the operator from weather conditions.

Do you need a license for Belarus 132N?

Yes, you need a category B driver's license. You need to register your equipment with Gostekhnadzor. Read more about registration of equipment in the rules for state registration of tractors.

Modifications

The manufacturer has not produced modified versions of the MTZ-132N mini-tractor, however, this model has undergone some changes, which would be quite appropriate to mention.

The tractor's appearance was updated, namely its shape was smoothed and most of the elements were made of plastic. There were also changes on the technical side: instead of the previous engine, the manufacturer installed a single-cylinder unit of the Honda GX390 brand. Its power is the same 9.6 kilowatts or 13 horsepower. No further design changes were made.

Specifications and prices

This small agricultural machine has the following characteristics:

weighs only 425 kilograms,
has a length of 2.5 meters, a width of 1 meter,
mini tractor height – 2 meters,
the unit has four-wheel drive and an impressive agricultural clearance of 72 centimeters,
The mini tractor's carrying capacity is as much as 700 kg. This is achieved due to the robust design of the mini tractor and the use of a fairly powerful (13 hp) engine manufactured by Honda, which runs on 92 gasoline,

Mini tractor speed

the maximum travel speed is 18 kilometers per hour,
the gearbox has 4 forward speeds and 3 reverse,
The operating temperature range for the mini tractor declared by the manufacturer is from minus 40 to plus 40 degrees Celsius. This makes it possible to operate it in a variety of climatic conditions,
At the rear of the tractor there is a hydraulic attachment system for using various attachments suitable for different tasks solved by the mini tractor.

You can choose for yourself equipment for preparing and cultivating the soil, equipment for sowing and harvesting, irrigation systems, trailed carts, sun visors, a cabin for working with a tractor in autumn and winter, a utility brush, a snow blade, equipment for mowing and hay harvesting and much more.

The cost of attachments starts from 9 thousand rubles for a universal plow and ends at 52 thousand rubles for a utility brush. A set of the most necessary equipment for agricultural work will cost, depending on the chosen purposes, from 50 to 100 thousand rubles.

Peculiarities

The MTZ-132N mini-tractor has all-wheel drive, which has a positive effect on its cross-country ability. Moreover, the operator is given the opportunity to disable the rear axle, if necessary. It should be noted that by disabling the rear axle, fuel consumption can be slightly reduced, which is typical for all vehicles. Also, one of the key advantages of this machine is its articulated frame, thanks to which the tractor can boast of its good maneuverability and maneuverability. Thanks to this design, the minimum turning radius is only 2,500 millimeters, which, taking into account the overall overall dimensions of the machine, allows work to be done in rather cramped conditions, such as, for example, in greenhouses and gardens.

A certain type of work has its own requirements, for the most part this concerns the track of equipment. Especially for this, the manufacturer has endowed the tractor with the ability to change the width of the wheels, both front and rear.

The power take-off shaft allows the machine to operate with attachments in several different modes.

The overall dimensions of the tractor are quite small, which gives the same impression of its power. However, the car is deceiving in appearance, since in terms of technical characteristics there are high indicators.

There is no need to use trucks to transport it, as it easily fits into an ordinary car trailer.
