Belarus 3522: six-cylinder tractor of the 3522 range from the Minsk Tractor Works, 261 kW (355 hp), 12,300 kg unladen weight, top speed 40 km/h
Belarus is the export brand of the Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ), which has built tractors in the Belarusian capital Minsk since 1946 and, with several million units produced, ranks among the world's largest tractor makers; the brand supplies more than 100 countries, with strongholds in Russia, the successor states of the Soviet Union, Africa and Latin America. The 3522 range forms the plant's upper power class.

The 3522 carries a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine producing 261 kW (355 hp) at 2,200 rpm – an output that places the tractor in the class of heavy field tractors for tillage with wide implements and for trailer combinations with high draft-force demands. With an unladen weight of 12,300 kg, a length of 6,500 mm, a width of 2,630 mm, a height of 3,350 mm and a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, it reaches a top speed of up to 40 km/h.
At 40 km/h the 3522 reaches the limit of driving licence category L, which covers design top speeds up to 40 km/h; the PTO follows the standardised speeds of 540 or 1,000 rpm, and the three-point hydraulics follow ISO 730 in the upper categories for heavy implements. A six-cylinder of this power class is built for sustained load during ploughing, cultivating and heavy-draft work.
When buying a heavy six-cylinder of this class second-hand, the operating hours, the condition of the injection system and cooling system, wear on the clutch and shuttle transmission, and the tightness of the hydraulics after years with heavy implements matter most. Rust on the mudguards and cab, together with a complete maintenance history, give further insight into how hard the machine has been worked.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
