TRACKLAYING TRACTORS

Tracklayers are produced to perform difficult work in various fields of national economy. In agriculture crawlers are used for deep plowing of virgin¹ and fen lands, and for heavy and sandy soils.

They operate together with mounted and trailed machinery. A tracklaying tractor is equipped with two tracks, a powerful engine, a gearbox providing several forward and reverse speeds, and a hydraulic system to attach implements. PTO-shaft and three-point linkage are seldom fitted. The weight of a tractor is distributed² over long tracks and its pressure upon the soil is not very high. Thus the soil is less damaged. The tracks provide more perfect adhesion with the soil. Crawlers are used for work in hilly country, for industrial and road construction, for carrying heavy loads, etc.

NOTES

¹virgin - целинный

²is distributed - распределяется
