Belarus 562 4.00 star(s) (2)

Great but Simple Tractor
Model Year: 1993

This machine has very few of the "extras" found on North american tractors, but once you get used to the Russian way of putting things together, then it provides affordable, reliable power with very little maintenance that the user can't do themselves.

Pros: Inexpensive, tough.
Cons: Not the most ergonomically friendly tractor.

This tractor has been fantastic. I paid $4,000 dollars for it and it has been working every since. It starts on the coldest of cays when our ford 2000 wont even start. No starting fluid needed.... there are many bad reviews for these tractors but I have not had a problem getting parts it has been about the same time as for our ford. Dealer out of MN. the brakes are the only issue I've had.. not as strong as I would like, so I put it in 4x4 and drive slower on slopes. They are heavy and so you adjust for allow for the slower stopping time. Like you would for a loaded truck. I priced a Kubota of half the size without a cab $20,000 and no implements. I got seven with my tractor. my money was well spent and I would recommend this model based on my experience. every time I see on in use I stop and talk to the owner/operator I haven't had had a negative response from anyone yet. P.S. Time may bite me in the butt on this but after years My "Bell" has been on of the most dependable friends I've had. When I have a project to do rain or shine with a turn of the key we,re off and running.

Pros: strong, dependable, economical to run, sarts well in cold weather , 4x4 has taken me places I would never have imagined it would go . cowm pressure on the three pount hitch is great for discing and post hole digger even box blade variable speed pto brake on the pto (bush hog dosen,t keep spinning forever) loader attachment is invaluable dirt work, scaffolding ect.
Cons: weak brakes, small hydraulic leak
