Belarus MTZ-80/82 – One of the World's Most-Built Tractors, with a Four-Cylinder Engine, 59 kW/80 hp, 4,750 cm³ Displacement and Operating Weight from 3,470 to 4,460 kg, Built from 1968
The MTZ-80 and its four-wheel-drive sister model the MTZ-82 rank among the most widely built tractors ever made; the register lists models from 1968 into the 2000s, with an output of 59 kW. All recorded models use four-cylinder engines with a displacement of 4,750 cm³.

Recorded operating weight runs from 3,470 to 4,460 kg, wheelbase from 2,450 to 2,880 mm, lift capacity of one recorded model is 3,250 kg, and top speed of the listed models spans 17 to 36 km/h.
The exceptionally long production run of more than three decades with largely unchanged technology made the MTZ-80/82 one of the most widespread tractors across Eastern Europe, Asia and parts of Africa. For used examples, parts availability is usually straightforward, since the model is still produced in similar form today.
With a rated output of 59 kW, or roughly 80 hp, the MTZ-80/82 falls within ISO 730 Category II for the rear three-point hitch, with a standard dual-speed power take-off at 540 and 1,000 revolutions per minute for medium-duty to heavy implements. The Minsk Tractor Works still exists today and continues to build tractors under the Belarus brand, so basic wear parts for the MTZ-80/82 are still newly manufactured decades after production first began, keeping older units in active agricultural use worldwide.
