AGGREGATING THE TRACTOR WITH AGRICULTURAL MACHINES AND IMPLE-
MENTS
General information provided in this Sec-
tion will help to use efficiently the BELA-
RUS 1523/1523В/1523.3/1523В.3 with a
great variety of machines and implements
(hereinafter referred to as the machines
or technical facilities) to be used in the
agriculture.
Aggregating the tractors with other ma-
chines involves a complex of operations
related to selection of machines, deter-
mination of feasibility and techniques of
attaching the machines to the tractor,
with the tuning and adjustment of units
and mechanisms of all the components
of a machine-tractor aggregate (MTA).
As regards the method of ganging (ag-
gregating) with tractors, all the agricul-
tural machines (implements) are classi-
fied as follows:
• The tractor-mounted ones are to be
attached to the tractor's three-point
hitch linkage. The machine weight in
the transport position is fully trans-
ferred to the tractor.
• The semi-mounted ones are to be
attached to the three-point hitch link-
age run on supporting wheels. The
machine weight in the transport posi-
tion is partly transferred onto the trac-
tor and partly is supported by the
wheels of its own. When rearranging
the machine from the working position
to the transportation one, the point of
attachment to the tractor is forcedly
shifted to a new position as to height.
• The semi-trailed ones are to be at-
tached in the same way as the semi-
mounted are, but when rearranging
the machine from the working position
to the transportation one, the point of
attachment to the tractor does not
change its position as to height.
• The trailed ones are to be attached to
the haul-and-draw coupling arrange-
ment of the tractor. The machine
weight is carried by its own running
gear. When rearranging the machine
from the working position to the trans-
portation one, the point of attachment
to the tractor does not change its posi-
tion as to height.
• The fitted ones are to be attached to
the tractor by means of additional as-
sembly units using the mounting holes
available on the tractor. The machine
weight is fully taken by the tractor. In-
stallation of fitted machines shall be
only done subject to the approval of
the Manufacturer. In case of installa-
tion of a machine unauthorized by the
Manufacturer,
claims and unsatisfactory equipment
reports shall be sent to the entity
which has installed and checked the
equipment.
The Belarus tractors are equipped with
various working equipment to be used for
aggregating in standard and optional kits
thus providing a means for coupling and
joint operation of all the agricultural ma-
chines and implements which comply
with tractor's hitch and/or haul-and-draw
mounting dimensions and energy re-
quirements. In addition, the provision of a
power take-off shaft (PTO) and free out-
lets of the hydraulic system make it pos-
sible to drive tools of the attached ma-
chines/technical facilities by either me-
chanical or hydrostatic method.
This Section contains the information on
the working equipment intended for ag-
gregating with the tractor; the methodol-
ogy of choosing the machines for aggre-
gating with the above-stated tractors as
well as admissible loads and speed re-
gimes of the tractor when combined in a
machine-tractor aggregate.
