If you have a small farm and you want to save on equipment, it is worth studying Russian and Belarusian tractors (an example of a catalog with tractors from manufacturers from these countries can be viewed at the site). Reasons for contacting Belarusian and Russian tractors several. Firstly, these are prices, and secondly, regardless of how well you take care of your equipment, you need to periodically order the professional service of the tractor and spare parts, therefore it is much easier to work with local organizations (giving warranty and post-warranty services) and brands that are cheaper to serve and repair.
Determine the tasks that your tractor will perform. This will help you (or the sales consultant to whom you will contact for help) to reduce the search circle.

Transmission parameters
