Mogilev MoAЗ
1 model in this series
Mogilev MoAZ: the MoAZ-49011-040 is an articulated four-wheel-drive tractor with 220 kW of engine power, a 6/1 gearbox, a top speed of 35 km/h and a weight of 14,000 kg
The Mogilev Automobile Plant built articulated wheeled vehicles for earthmoving and construction during the Soviet era. In an articulated vehicle, steering happens through a joint in the frame between the front and rear sections rather than through a steered front axle, which benefits both cramped work sites and large vehicles alike. The MoAZ-49011-040 belongs to this group of articulated machines.

The engine produces 220 kW and drives the four-wheel-drive machine through a 6/1 gearbox. It is fitted front and rear with 28.1R26 tyres, and its top speed is 35 km/h. At 2,870 mm wide, the MoAZ-49011-040 weighs in at 14,000 kg, dimensions typical of a heavy construction machine rather than a farm tractor.
Articulated steering allows a tight turning circle despite the machine's large overall size, since the front and rear sections pivot relative to each other instead of relying solely on steered front wheels. This makes such vehicles more manoeuvrable on confined construction sites and in earthmoving work than rigid wheeled vehicles of comparable size.
When buying a used example, check the condition of the articulation joint and its bearings, the tightness of the hydraulic steering cylinders, the condition of the large-format tyres, and wear on the axles and differentials in a machine of this weight.
