Belarus Tractors

[smstonypoint]

Just curious. I've heard tens of thousands of Belarus tractors recently have been sold to Venezuela? Is there anybody to confirm that? If yes, what are the correct sales digits?

Here's a news story that says "Belarus agreed to supply 16 metric tons of milk powder, 570 tractors and hundreds of trucks to Venezuela." It isn't clear to me whether the deal involves the "Belarus" brand. I don't have a clue as to the tractor brands produced in Belarus.

Steve,

I'll just make a quick translate of some statements from a local article published on the 1st of December.

The economical ties between Belarus and Venezuela brought some benefit to the port Klaipeda (Baltic Sea). The car/truck carrier "Hoegh Delhi" of Norwegian company "Hoegh Autoliners" shipped 535 tractors and 22 trucks made in Minsk (MTZ and MAZ). The carrier should return at the end of this year to pick up the rest consignment. This is the second time this year the carrier shipped the Belarussian tractors and trucks. The first one - "Carmen" which belongs to the company "Wallenius Wilhelmsen" - was loaded by 490 Belarussian tractors, 50 trucks and 150 pallets of spare parts in March this year. The shipment contract Belarussian company "Dealextrans" has signed in concerns 1500 tractors and it is divided into 4 shipments. Klaipeda terminal speaks about future increase of parking place in 2-3 thousand tractors and trucks more, which they are negotiating for with "Dealextrans". And so on ...

But total planned quantity of Belarus tractors export to Venezuela is unknown to me. They also have another possibility to ship them through the Ukrainian port Odessa (Black Sea).
So that's what I was asking for if someone is more informed than me.
And yes, it involves "Belarus" brand name. MTZ = Minsk Tractor 'Zavod' (factory)

Mel,
There was only one Ukrainian tractor (YuHMZ). The air cooled ones were made in Latvia and the large Kirovets were built in St. Petersburg. The rest are made in BELARUS by Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ) and are the lions share of the typical Belarus. When they were brought into the country under the Belarus name, they were brought in through a company called "tractoroexport".

We've been importing and selling parts for Belarus and other brands in Canada for quite some time..... parts for the MTZ tractors are very easy to come by.... things getting a little difficult for some of the air cooled models - ie 250, 310 and 400 series.... but any 800 series, 5000 series in Canada or equivalent in USA are quite easy to fix and get parts for. If anybody needs any help getting anything, let me know.....

My dad bought 2 Belarus 800's new in 1980. Sold one about 10 years ago. The one he sold had lots of little problems, the other one ran like a top to cut hay and square bale and run the bale wagon.
3 years ago the pin broke in the rear axle, does anyone have any pointers on repairing this? Would appreciate any suggestions.
