4. TRAILED: to be coupled usually by means of a hitching loop to the hitching mecha-
nism. The option of the two-point articulated joint with the mounted attachment (without us-
ing the upper rod) is also possible. The weight of the machine in the transport position is
perceived completely by the machine’s running gear, only the load from the weight of the
machine’s coupling arrangement is born by the traction hitch mechanism (or mounted at-
tachment) of the tractor. When re-arranging the machine from the working position to the
transport one, the point of connecting the machine with the tractor is not repositioned.
The trailed machines include also various general- and special-purpose transport facili-
ties, such as general-purpose trailers, tank trailers, dump trailers and special semi-trailed
transport facilities for mechanization of jobs in the agriculture. Transportation facilities ag-
gregated by means of saddle-type coupling arrangement are particular examples of semi-
trailed machines.
When aggregating the mounted, trailed, semi-mounted and semi-trailed machines, it is al-
lowed to fasten their individual components (automatic control system boards, markers, limit
rods, connecting accessories, brackets, etc.) subject to observation of all the guidelines of
the Operating Manual.
5. ATTACHED: to be fastened by fixing the assembly units (usually connecting frame)
from the complete set of the machine to the mounting holes of the tractor. The joints of the
mounted attachment roads fixed at the top position against spontaneous lowering can serve
as connecting accessories; in this case, the required position of the machine relatively to the
bearing area may be achieved by extending the braces or attaching the special braces from
the complete set of the machine. The weight of the attached technical facility is perceived
completely by the tractor.
The equipment of this type includes the attached front and grab loaders. It is allowed to
use the holes of the semiframe and rear-axle tube for fastening the auxiliary components
(tension buckles, brackets, markers and hitches) included in the agricultural machines ag-
gregated by means of three-point mounted attachments and traction hitch mechanisms of
the tractor without special permit.
Attention!
1. Aggregation of the attached machines (loaders, bulldozers) is not related to the in-
tended use of the MTZ tractor.
2. No permit for joint operation of the MTZ tractors with the mounted, trailed, semi-
mounted and semi-trailed machines is required provided such operation comply fully
with this Operating Manual for the tractor and does not fall outside the allowable
framework of its use. In this case the Minsk Tractor Works shall not bear any respon-
sibility for the failures, breakages and other troubles in the operation of the tractor
arisen due to incorrect selection and/or improper use of the machines with the tractor.
The agreement of the aggregation of the mounted, trailed, semi-mounted and semi-
trailed agricultural machines is a recommended procedure.
3. Recommendations for selecting the agricultural machines for aggregating
The consumer shall select and purchase the agricultural machines to the tractor on
his/her/its own based on his/her/its needs and with the account of the characteristics of the
machine and tractor as well as local conditions (requirements of the agricultural technolo-
gies, soil conditions, personal experience, recommendations of the respective regional advi-
sory centres and organizations for the agricultural production). It shall be kept in mind that
the agricultural machines of the same purposes, but from different manufacturers can differ
