AGGREGATION

The section "TRACTOR AGGREGATION" contains the necessary information on the pe-
culiarities of the intended use of the BELARUS tractor of your model including the recom-
mendations on the aggregation, selection of machines, conditions of safe use of the tractor
and determining the steerability criterion, rules of correct completing of machine-tractor
aggregates (hereinafter referred to as the MTA or tractor-based aggregate) as well as
some other necessary documentation, making it possible to assess the possibility of using
the tractor with machines within MTA's.
The recommendations for aggregation of the specific agricultural technical means differing
in their nomenclature and performance characteristics, including description of their de-
sign, information on their adjustment, procedure of completing the MTA and technique of
performance of the works are provided in the applied operating documentation for agricul-
tural machines.
3.1 Intended use of the tractor
•
Purpose and specialization:
Wheeled universal agricultural-purpose tilling tractor providing the operation of ma-
chines as a power source.
•
Kinds of the main agricultural works to be performed:
Cultivation and harvesting of row crops, sowing of cereal crops, harvesting of straw and
grasses, transportation works, fertilizing and spraying of fields and gardens, overall tillage,
harrowing and ploughing.
• Method of use:
Aggregation of machines with the help of three-point mounted attachments and hitching
mechanisms within the MTA.
• Conditions of aggregation of machines:
The tractor provides the possibility of operation of the machines, the performance char-
acteristics of which are compatible in the part of the aggregation capability with the charac-
teristics of the tractor itself such as connecting dimensions, possibility of motion at the
necessary speed, power take-off and realization of a tractive force under specific operation
conditions, overall dimensions, allowable vertical static loads on the hitch mechanisms and
the chassis.
•
Operation constraint:
The possibilities of use of the tractor under specific conditions with the aggregated ma-
chines are determined by the allowable range of the rated tractive forces at the hook and
power of the engine and limited by the maximum allowable loads on the tractor, hitching
capabilities of the running gear and allowable skidding, working motion speed, allowable
power take-off and mass of the machines to be aggregated.
• Operation guidelines:
The tractor shall be operated and the safety requirements when aggregating and servic-
ing the same shall be met in full compliance with the Operating Manual for the tractor,
normative documents for labour protection and road regulations. The manufacturer only
guarantees the possibility of reliable and safe operation of the tractor provided the cus-
tomer observes the rules and conditions of the operation, maintenance, transportation and
storage specified in this Manual, as well as intactness of the seals. Subject to observance
of all the guidelines of the tractor manufacturer, including the speed mode, it is allowed to
use the tractor for performing non-agricultural kinds of works as a power source by aggre-
