Belarus – other models: the collective page of Belarusian MTZ tractors outside the named ranges, from the 80 and 82 series through the 1025 to the 3000 and 3500 series, 25 to 128 kW, from the Minsk Tractor Works
This page gathers the Belarus tractors the register could not assign to a named range – by far the largest model range in this collection, built at the Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ), founded in 1946 and supplying under the export name Belarus ever since. The type logic follows a modular system: the first one or two digits give the power class (80 and 82 around 80 hp, 1025 around 100 hp, 1221 around 130 hp, 3022 and 3023 in the large class), the last digit or a point after it the development stage, the suffix -4 often four-wheel drive, T a turbocharged version. Belarus builds practically every power class itself, from the small farmyard tractor to the large field tractor, supplying both smallholdings and large-scale arable farming.

The register lists here 318 versions with 25 to 128 kW from two- to six-cylinders of 1,649 to 9,159 cm³, unladen weights from 1,600 to 9,200 kg, gross weights from 2,850 to 8,010 kg, lengths from 3,110 to 5,800 mm, widths from 1,400 to 2,550 mm and rated speeds from 1,500 to 2,200 rpm.
By unit numbers, Belarus tractors are among the most-built tractors in the world and are widespread above all in the successor states of the Soviet Union, in Africa, Asia and Latin America, where simple mechanics, rugged construction and a dense parts network have counted for decades; in Western Europe the brand is present chiefly as an affordable alternative in the lower and mid power segment.
On used tractors, the condition of the clutch and mechanical gearbox, the tightness of the hydraulics and lift, rust on cab and mudguards, the condition of the front axle on four-wheel-drive versions, and the origin and completeness of the engine papers count, since many engines and units have been swapped over the decades; parts are available through specialised Belarus importers and a broad network of independent dealers.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
