MTZ Belarus 920 to 1222 tractors from Minsk: type number by horsepower class, .3 modernisation stage, 59 to 97 kW from four- and six-cylinder engines, 4,480 to 6,160 kg unladen weight
The Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ) has built tractors under the Belarus brand in the Belarusian capital Minsk since 1946 and ranks among the largest tractor manufacturers in the world, exporting to numerous countries across Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. The type numbers 920, 952, 1025, 1221 and 1222 traditionally follow MTZ's approximate horsepower class of the fitted engine, while the .3 suffix marks the third modernisation stage of the given model relative to earlier versions of the same range.

The register lists here five versions with 59 to 97 kW engine output from four- and six-cylinder engines of 4,750 to 7,120 cm3 displacement. Unladen weight ranges from 4,480 to 6,160 kg, permissible gross weight from 7,000 to 8,000 kg, overall length from 4,580 to 4,870 mm and width up to 2,550 mm.
Belarus tractors are widespread across Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and numerous developing markets as a robust, mechanically simple alternative to Western European brands. The power band of these five models covers the middle ground between a compact yard tractor and a heavy field tractor, aimed at operations that depend on low purchase and repair costs.
On a used purchase, the condition of the hydraulics and lift linkage, the tightness of the axles and gearbox, rust on the frame, and the operating hours and service history of the injection pump all count. The brand's wide presence across Eastern Europe provides comparatively good parts availability even outside official channels, while electronics and cab equipment are kept simpler than on Western competitor models.

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.
