The T-150 wheeled power tractor first left the assembly line of the Kharkov Tractor Plant in 1971. The original, initially unparalleled design, as well as the technical characteristics of the T-150k, made it possible to successfully apply it on the following agricultural works:
- tillage (main, pre-sowing)
- sowing operations in conjunction with wide-spread planting units,
- loading and unloading operations with the use of additional attachments,
- cleaning work in conjunction with high-performance special complexes,
- participation in the preparation of various types of feed,
- the implementation of transport.
The variety in the use of the tractor in agriculture provided the ability of wide aggregation with various specialized mounted, semi-mounted and trailed equipment (more than 50 items), as well as the ability to perform repairs in rural workshops.
T-150k tractor modifications
In addition to agriculture, the tractor was successfully used in industry, in road construction, in forestry. Considering such options of various operation, the following modifications of T-150k with the specified characteristics were developed and put into production at the plant:
- The T 158 is an industrial variant, equipped with a special traction coupling device of the automobile type and was used to transport various cargoes weighing up to 20 tons with the help of trailers or semi-trailers.
- The T 157 is a timber version, it was notable for high maneuverability, a special safety cage to protect the cabin and the presence of logging equipment for transporting sawed trees.
- The T 156 is a front loader equipped with a mounted bucket with a lifting capacity of up to 3 tons. It is used for loading small-sized various materials and bulk cargoes into vehicles.
- T-150KD is a general purpose version with the possibility of installing dozer equipment that allows you to perform work on the placement of soil and other materials at a distance not exceeding 100 meters. Bulldozer hitch allows you to use the T-150 in the winter for clearing roads from snow.
Design features and general technical parameters of the T-150k
In the construction scheme of the tractor, two half-frames are used: the front one, on which the engine, gearbox, cabin with the operator's workplace, tank and rear, where the mounted system is mounted for connecting the equipment, is located.
T-150 is characterized by the presence of all-wheel drive, while there is a function of technical shutdown of the rear axle. Both axles are equipped with the same wheels, which have high-quality technical characteristics, large diameter and width.
In the transmission device behind the power unit there is a sequential installation of the clutch, gearbox and transfer case. Further, the output shafts with the help of cardan gears and main gears arranged on them in a conical design, provide energy transportation to the front and rear axles of the tractor.
Differentials from main gears are connected to planetary mechanisms, on which tractor wheels with brake devices are mounted.
The transfer of torque from the engine to the power take-off shaft (PTO) is provided by a special shaft with intermediate supports. Turning and turning the tractor perform two hydraulic cylinders in the steering system, which deploy both semi-frames around the special vertical connecting joint.
The device of the main units T-150k and their technical parameters
Over the entire period of its production, the tractor was completed with the following diesel four-stroke turbo engines using water cooling:
- SMD-61 (manufacturer HZTD).
- YaMZ-236D (manufacturer of Autodiesel).
As a starting device, a gasoline starting engine was used, which in turn was started with an electric starter. The technical features of both power units should include the ability to perform start-up heating, which improved start-up in the winter period.
The engines with which the T-150k was equipped have the following technical characteristics (given for SMD-61, and the parameters of the YaMZ-236D are shown in parentheses):
- Number of cylinders - 6 pcs.
- The location is V-shaped, at an angle of 90 degrees.
- Capacity - 160.0 (175.0) liters. with.
- Volume - 9.2 (11.2) liters.
- Coolant - antifreeze (water can be used).
- The mass of the engine - 0.95 (1.00) tons
- Fuel consumption - 217.0 (220.0) g / kWh.
- TNVD - distribution type, with two plungers.
- The number of revolutions - 2000 (2100) rev / min.
Double cab option is mounted on the front half of the tractor T-150k, almost the center of gravity. Such an arrangement technically reduces its vibrations and vibrations. The cab itself is made using noise and vibration-absorbing materials and components, which, along with reduced vibrations, provides comfortable conditions for the operator.
High-quality performance of work contributes to the circular glazing and the presence of wipers. For comfortable work, the winter period has a special heater. After tuning the cab in 2013, a special frame was used in its safety device.
Transmission.
The transmission is made in a mechanical version. Its design includes the following elements:
- double-plate clutch in a dry version,
- CAT,
- transfer case,
- two bevel main gears
- cross-axle differentials,
- PTO (in the basic version - rear).
The gearbox of the tractor T-150k is made using hydraulic control, it has the ability to switch the speed while driving. The transfer box allows division into ranges.
Taking into account the characteristics of such a division, the number of gears of the tractor for forward travel increases to 12, for the rear movement - up to 4, while the speed (km / h) is:
The PTO has a two-speed independent version and characteristics in frequency of rotation of 540 and 1000 rpm / min.

Advantages and disadvantages of the T-150k
The main advantages of a wheeled tractor include:
- the possibility of movement and transportation of goods on public roads,
- a large number of agricultural machinery aggregated for a variety of work,
- multifunctionality
- the ability to install twin wheels on both axles in order to increase the terrain,
- good working conditions for the operator,
- high transport speed
- small, for its traction class, fuel consumption,
- ease of repair and maintenance,
- overall reliability
- the possibility of year-round operation, which reduces the payback period.
Certain technical and structural defects should be considered:
- increased tire pressure on the ground, which causes a negative impact and a decrease in agricultural production,
- application in the design of the tractor wheels, reduces traction performance compared with the tracked variant by 25-30%,
- low reliability of the T-150k gearbox and, as a consequence, the need for frequent repairs,
- the lack of a hydraulic device for cooling the working fluid.
Development T-150K
Initially laid structural solutions, technical characteristics of the tractor T-150k, the ability to quickly repair allowed this model to operate successfully, go through several modifications, to be competitive at the present time.
The latter fact is confirmed by the continued production of this model at the Orel tractor-building plant, which is part of the Alfa-Tekhnik group of companies. In addition to the basic modification under the name OrTZ-150k, this plant produces eight more different vehicles (from a front-end loader to an airfield repair machine) made on the basis of this tractor.
The history of the creation of a popular model
However, let us return to the past, on November 25, 1983, the day when the HTZ produced a caterpillar modification of its most famous and most sought-after tractor. This, of course, is about the wheeled tractor T 150 K and its “caterpillar” incarnation. The difference of just one letter gave the country one of the most productive and efficient tracked agricultural units of the time.
Structurally, the new tractor, released a full 10 years after its wheeled counterpart, differed only in the chassis, suspension and gear shift nuances. In part, its appearance was the result of the growing need of farmers for a reliable all-terrain vehicle, which would have better performance, less harmful effect on fertile soils, would not be tamped and skidded. Since the T 150K was extremely popular at one time, it was only natural to assume that it would be the basis for the creative search for the engineers of the CTZ.
Soviet agro-industrialists caterpillar tractor T 150 liked. In 1991, components and equipment for it were produced by more than 57 machine-building enterprises of the Soviet Union, both in the civil and defense sectors.
During the forty-year history, as soon as this tractor was not modernized, there was also a T 150E - a caterpillar tractor with a raised leading sprocket and a maximally reduced bearing area of the caterpillar tape, and a trial 2-link tractor, and an experimental model on rubber-metal tracks. But what is especially surprising, unlike their peers T 130, T 170, only T 150 continues its life and enjoys an enviable popularity in the XXI century. Today it is a fully updated tracked T 150-05-09-25, the release of which on the European market was launched in the spring of 2012.
Main technical characteristics of the tractor
How much has the technical characteristics of the tractor changed in 40 years? The 1983 model was equipped with a diesel 4-stroke 6-cylinder turbocharged SMD-60 engine. It is now a short stroke and direct fuel injection will not surprise anyone, but in 1983. - everything was different. The construction of the SMD-60 was so strikingly different from all the engines that existed before, that the release of a tractor based on such an engine became a real triumph. The engine cylinders had a V-shaped arrangement, which significantly reduced the size of the engine.
The engine was started from a gasoline single-cylinder engine equipped with a preheating unit. Today, such an ignition system is already irrelevant, but at that time it was a common occurrence. Absolutely all tractors 2-6 traction classes, released in the USSR in the second half of the XX century, were starting engines. Engine power was quite noticeable - 150 horsepower at a crankshaft speed of up to 2000 rev / min.
Today the T 150 is equipped with a more powerful (up to 180 hp at 2100 rpm) Yaroslavl diesel 11.15 liter YaMZ-236D-3 engine. In the best traditions of its ancestor, the V-shaped design of the engine remained unchanged and transferred to a new model. Starting system - single-stage, from electric starter.
The first series of tractors was equipped with a mechanical hydraulically controlled transmission. Gear shifting was carried out using a friction dry single-plate clutch. In the role of the pressure device acted hydraulic cylinder. While driving, when the operator needed to change the gear, he squeezed out the clutch, which turned on the friction clutch of the next gear and only then switched off the clutch of the current gear. Thus, within a few seconds both gears were simultaneously engaged, which made the shifting smooth and seamless. The main gear was played by planetary gears.
Depending on whether it was necessary to simply transport the tractor, use it as a tractor, or go into working mode, the T 150 tractor was equipped with a gearbox with three forward ranges and a single backward range. The double-flow gearbox opened up for the operator the ability to carry out a wide variety of maneuvers, since the gears for left-handed and right-handed tracks could be selected independently. However, in addition to such technical advantages as high drive reliability, reduction in the overall load, an increase in ground clearance of up to 30 cm, the double-flow gearbox made the tractor even more agile.
It was in this model of the tractor that a double way of turning was realized: kinematic turn when switching on different gears on each side and on-board - when the clutch was turned off from the lagging side. Earlier (in the period from 1964, when it was invented, and until 1983, when the tractor was released), the double turning method was used exclusively on tanks. What is characteristic, in the modern version, the transmission of the tractor T 150 has undergone only a small modernization, without changing structurally and retaining the two-stream gearbox.
The dimensions of the tractor (LBH, m.) Remained unchanged: 5x1.88x2.68. The operating weight of the T 150 tractor was 7.95 tons in the old version and 8.15 tons in the new one. The track base is 1.8 m in size, and the track on the outer edge of the tracks is 1,435 m.
Design features
The basis of the chassis is a "breaking" frame. This design received such a name due to the fact that its sections can rotate towards each other in two planes (18 degrees in vertical and 30 degrees in horizontal) due to the connecting hinge mechanism. Suspension suspension - sprung front and balancing rear. Hydraulic shock absorbers located on the front bearing assemblies balancers reduce shocks, jolts and vibration when moving on uneven ground. The chassis is controlled by the steering wheel.
The modern tractor T 150 overcame one of the main drawbacks of the old model - the shortened base size, which led to galloping and “yawing” of the tractor. An increase in the base in the longitudinal plane made it possible to reduce the pressure of the tracks on the ground and to make the tractor movements smoother and more streamless.
The hinged device of the tractor was and still remains quite effective, and therefore since 1983. almost unchanged. For mounting the equipment on the tractor, a rear 2 and 3 point device and 2 brackets (trailed and pull) are provided. The tractor can be equipped with agricultural units and machines, for example, a plow, a cultivator, a cultivator, a sprinkler, trailed wide-grip units, etc. The load capacity of the rear hitch is 3500 kgf.
Perhaps the biggest changes were in the cabin. In 1983 before the manufacturers cared little about the comfort of work, since in those days it was considered an excessive luxury. Now the tractor cab is a closed metal mid-structure, noise, hydro and thermally insulated, equipped with heating systems, blowing the windshield, wipers, rear-view mirror. The location of the controls of the tractor and the working bodies is maximally optimized for the convenient work of the operator. Chairs (2 pcs.) Are regulated by the growth of the driver, have a spring suspension. It is safe to say that the new model in terms of build quality and comfort is trying hard to comply with European counterparts.
The price of tractor T 150 of the old model varies from 250,000 rubles. up to 950,000 rubles., the new T 150-05-09-25 will cost 1,800,000 rubles. - 1 900 000 rub.
Tractor T-150: description and modification
Before proceeding to the description of the model, it should be noted that There are two versions of the tractor T-150. One of them has a tracked course, and the second moves with the help of a wheelbase. Both options are widespread, which is largely due to their power, reliability and ease of operation. Both tractors have the same steering, equipped with an engine of the same power (150 hp.) And a gearbox consisting of the same set of spare parts.
Technical characteristics of T-150 and T-150 K (wheel version) very similar, which is explained by almost identical set of parts. Accordingly, many spare parts for tracked and wheel modifications are interchangeable, which is a positive feature when using equipment in a farm or in collective enterprises. Также нельзя не отметить, что колесный трактор Т-150 К, способный к быстрому передвижению практически по любой местности, получил большее распространение, нежели его гусеничный аналог.In agriculture, it is often used as the main means of transportation, and the presence of a drive for connecting the most diverse agricultural machinery and the possibility of low-speed traction gear made it possible to use a wheeled tractor in almost all types of agricultural work. The device of the T-150 tractor (any modification) made it a loyal assistant in soil processing in the most diverse regions of Ukraine and Russia, and given the interchangeability of parts, it would be a reasonable decision to equip the farm with both machines.
Features of the device tractor T-150
The crawler tractor T-150 creates less pressure on the soil, which was achieved thanks to the installed equal-sized wide tires of the front and rear wheelset. It also took its place in the performance of agricultural work on the wheeled version of the T-150 in the form of a bulldozer, but it is found a little less frequently than the same tracked tractor.
If we talk about the features of the structure of the tractor T-150, then the basis of its undercarriage is a “breaking” frame, which got its name because of the possibility of the sections turning to each other in two planes, which is ensured by the presence of a hinge mechanism. Suspension of the chassis front sprung, and the rear balancer. Hydraulic shock absorbers installed on the front bearing assemblies of the balancers are aimed at reducing the force of shocks, jolts and vibration when the tractor is moving on uneven terrain. The main control body of the T-150, through which the work of the chassis is coordinated, is the steering wheel.
The modern tractor of this model has overcome one of the main shortcomings of its predecessor - the shortened size of the base, which caused the “yaw” of the vehicle. At the same time, an increase in the size of the wheelbase in the longitudinal plane made it possible to reduce the pressure of the tracks on the ground and to make the movement of the equipment smoother.
Attachment equipment of the tractor T-150 was and remains quite effective therefore, since 1983, almost nothing has changed. For hanging some components of the tractor on it is provided a rear two- and three-point device with two brackets (harness and trailed). With their help, the tractor can be supplemented with agricultural units and special machines (for example, a plow, a cultivator, a cultivator, trailed wide-gripping units, a sprinkler, etc.). Load capacity of the hitch at the rear of the tractor is about 3,500 kgf.
If we compare the first T-150 tractors produced in the USSR and modern models, then perhaps the biggest changes are noted in the appearance of the cab. Of course, in 1983, manufacturers of equipment cared little for the comfort of the people who would work on it, and the slightest addition in this regard was considered a luxury. Nowadays, everything has changed, and the cabin of the usual tractor is already a metal middle-structured structure of a closed type with noise, hydro and thermal insulation.In addition, modern tractor cabs are often equipped with heating systems, blowing windshields, rear-view mirrors and cleaners. The location of all the controls of the T-150 tractor (both tracked and wheeled type) and its working elements (including the gearbox) is maximally optimized for the driver to work comfortably. Two seats located in the cab are adjusted to the height of the driver and are equipped with a spring suspension.
Taking into account all these features, it is possible to say with confidence that the build quality and the level of comfort of the new, modern model of the T-150 tractor are struggling to match the European counterparts.
Description of the technical characteristics of the T-150
To make it easier for you to imagine the tractor T-150, let's get acquainted with its main characteristics. The length of the structure is 4935 mm, its width is equal to 1850 mm, and its height is 2915 mm. The weight of the tractor T-150 is 6975 kg (for comparison: the mass of the army version of the T-154 developed on the basis of the T-150 is 8100 kg).The tractor has a mechanical transmission: four forward gears and three rear gears. The T-150 engine mainly develops 150-170 liters. pp., although the power of the latest models of the T-150 tractor often exceeds these values and reaches 180 liters. with. (at 2100 rpm). Its wheels are discs, have the same size (620 / 75Р26) and are supplemented with low pressure agricultural tires, which are often installed on different tractors (T-150 is no exception). Since the described type of technology more designed to perform tasks related to the land, then the maximum speed of the T-150 is small, only 31 km / h.
All these are very important parameters that should be taken into account when using any equipment, however, the amount of fuel consumed by the tractor is no less important. Thus, the specific fuel consumption per T-150 is 220 g / kWh, which is quite consistent with the concept of accessibility with respect to such equipment.
Using a tractor in agriculture, exploring the possibilities of the T-150
Tracked tractor T-150 often used in the construction of complexes for agricultural purposes. So, often the bulldozers, created on the basis of this tractor, are used in the role of construction equipment, as well as in leveling the terrain, creating access roads or forming artificial reservoirs in the household plot. Powerful and reliable tractor T-150 is also used after the construction of objects of the agricultural sector.The available steering of the tractor, in combination with a sufficiently high speed of movement and the use of a pendulum transfer mechanism for additional trailed equipment, allows the use of equipment for sowing, plowing, processing and harvesting. Moreover, the tracked design is often used when performing harvesting work in animal husbandry, in particular, when creating or filling silage pits.
Pros and cons of the tractor T-150
When choosing a technique for working on your site, we often have to compare a wide variety of options, which are often very similar to each other. So, sometimes even such trifles as the size and characteristics of the wheel can play a decisive role in the matter of choice, and here you have to think: to buy, for example, T-150 or T-150 K. Among the advantages of the described model should be highlighted:
- reduced pressure on the soil (largely due to the wide caterpillars), and hence the reduction of the harmful effects on the earth by about two times,
- three-fold reduction in slipping and a high percentage of terrain,
- 10% reduction in fuel consumption compared to the wheel version
- a significant increase in the performance of technology
- increased labor safety
- low fuel consumption and ease of management of the tractor.
No matter how much the tractor T-150 weighed, and it weighs a lot, in any case there will be increased wear on the track chain, which is also a disadvantage of this technique.
In general, the T-150 tractor has long established itself as a reliable assistant in carrying out agricultural and construction tasks, so it will definitely not be superfluous on the farm.
Crawler
Such models can be used in the process of creating agricultural complexes. The bulldozers, created on the basis of the caterpillar variation of the XTZ T-150 tractor, are exploited when creating access roads and during leveling the surface. Additionally, the T-150 tracked can be used for plowing, sowing, processing and harvesting.
Photo of crawler tractor T-150
Wheel T-150 has a wider application. It can also be used in agriculture and road construction. High running characteristics and the maximum speed of movement in the transport position qualitatively distinguishes the model from the general background. A distinctive feature of the model is the minimum load on the soil, which is achieved through the use of an extended wheelbase. A bulldozer was also created on the basis of the T-150 wheel variation.

Design features
The engine of the tractor T-150 is located in the front. Attached to it is a clutch and a two-flow gearbox.
A long time on the T-150 installed components of the brand SMD-60. In comparison with other engines, this power plant was distinguished by a special design. The engine has a four-stroke six-cylinder design. Cylinders with a two-row arrangement. The left row is slightly offset, which allows for additional installation of two connecting rods.
All units and mechanisms are very compact. The fuel pump is located at the rear of the power plant. There is also a gas distribution drive. The water pump has a centrifugal design. According to the passport, the fuel consumption of the tractor is 185 g / e, hp.h.
Transmission
The gearbox has an eight-speed design. Each output shaft transmits rotation to one drive wheel of the chassis. The design features of the gearbox allow turning the tractor without subsequent breaking of the power flow from the engine to the drive wheels.
The comfortable cabin is installed on a rigid frame base. Circular cabin glazing improves visibility and greatly simplifies the control of the workflow. On the front is a special visor that prevents the sun from getting into the eyes of the driver. Cab windows are equipped with a wiper. The blower function helps prevent glass misting during operation.
Scheme of tractor T-150
The driver's cabin has good sound and vibration insulation. Special attention deserves the presence of high-quality ventilation system, which allows you to work in a comfortable environment. Inside can easily accommodate two people. In this case, the driver's seat is characterized by the presence of springs. The cabin has lighting, coat hooks, a place for a first-aid kit and a thermos.
Chassis
Tracked variation of the tractor is equipped with two tracks. Each of them is mounted on sprung carriages and support rollers. The built-in shock absorber and spring mechanism reduces vibration due to collision with an obstacle. The chassis is located on a supporting frame of two longitudinal type side members. These elements are interconnected through the use of steel transverse bars. A separate gear can be included for each track, which makes it possible to turn the tractor practically in place.
Specifications
On the basis of one of the modifications of the tractor T-150 built several different variations. So, on the basis of the T-150 K, an army version was released - the T-154. Through the use of such a unit, engineering and construction works are carried out, and also towing of non-self-propelled artillery installations is carried out. The T-154 differs from the base model in the presence of a towing hook. The rear frame of the T-154 is somewhat lengthened, thanks to which the designers were able to place the cargo body.
Model T-156 is equipped with a bucket and is used for loading operations. There is also a modification of the T-150 D, which is characterized by the presence of a dozer blade. The tractor T-157 is used for logging operations.
Technical characteristics of the tractor T-156 and its modifications are presented in the table:
Operator's cabin
The workplace is made in the form of a double all-metal cab, which is complemented by a safety cage. The cabin has a good tightness, installed heating and ventilation systems.
In terms of comfort, the T-150 cab is almost as good as its European counterparts. For improved visibility, a panoramic cabin glazing was used. Windshield wipers are installed on the windshield. Provided heating system glass hot air.
Data are given excluding attachments and trailers.
Wheel tractor T-150K
This model is practically no different from its fellow. The difference can be observed only in the chassis and transmission. The T-150K has a hinged-composite frame and two driving axles. The rear axle in the performance of some work can be disabled. This gives advantages when turning the tractor, driving on difficult terrain and facilitates steering.
An additional power take-off shaft (PTO) is included in the transmission scheme. It serves to transfer power to attachments. On the front of the composite semi-frames are the main components of the tractor: power plant, cab and gearbox. The rear frame is designed for mounting with mounted and towed equipment.
A well-designed hydraulic system provides the tractor with a lifting capacity of up to 3,500 kilograms. For installation of additional devices the two-and three-point mounting scheme is provided.
For the rest, the design of machines converges. But there are discrepancies in some specifications. For example, wheel tractor T-150K has a greater transport speed - 30 km / h.
This is due to the fact that the car was installed six-cylinder diesel SMD-62. The power plant gave out more power - 165 horsepower. A powerful engine required a commensurate fuel tank. Therefore, the designers have increased the volume to 375 liters.
T-150K tractorIn addition, the scheme of work with attachments was more thought out. When performing agricultural work, the machine could be equipped with all varieties of agricultural tools. The tractor could even be aggregated with wide-seeders and plows. The steering was more practical, which provided the car with good maneuverability.
Tracked tractor with lower engine power, gave more traction. At the same time, fuel consumption was significantly lower than that of the wheel version.
The wide caterpillar blade provided more reliable grip and reduced ground pressure. Thanks to this feature, the tractor received high marks from agronomists throughout the country.
Advantages and disadvantages
Machines of both modifications proved to be excellent when performing various jobs. Despite the fact that the specifics of the operation of tractors was significantly different, the equipment could organically complement each other.
T-150 tractorOf advantages It is possible to note the facilitated access to the main assemblies, greater reprisability and ease of maintenance. Unlike most tractors of the Soviet era, the cars were completely free of oil leaks. The equipment usually developed the lifespan declared by the manufacturers, without major repairs. If there was a breakdown, then, as a rule, the fault of the tractor driver.
Not without deficiencies. Constructive flaws were available in both versions of the machines. For example, tracked T-150 could move in urban conditions only with the use of special overlays on tracks.
Despite the agricultural focus and high rates of traction power, the tractor practically could not work with wide-spread plows. This is the fault of the shortened base of the machine. When plowing, most of the plow is not used; it simply “sags” between the coupling and the furrow. Therefore, the quality of plowing leaves much to be desired.
The kinematic turn of the tractor did not justify itself either, and the steering requires some effort.
For the wheel T-150K the main disadvantage is the excessive fuel consumption. In addition, the machine severely damages the soil during agrotechnical work and slips on wet soil. It is worth noting that the wheel version is much more expensive than a tracked tractor. In this case, the performance is significantly less.
T-150K tractor device
The T-150K tractor has a front engine location just like the MTZ 892. There is a gearbox behind the engine (rigidly fixed) with a cabin with a fuel tank in the rear. The transmission has several modes (transport, working, traction (slow), reverse), in each of which 4 gears are switched (hydraulic couplings) without interrupting the flow of power (without stopping, in motion, under load). Planetary gears are used in final gears.
T-150K consists of two half-frames: the front one - with the engine, the gearbox and the cabin and the tank, and the rear one - with the hinged system for fastening the guns. Drive axles are the same, leading (rear axle switchable), with the same wide wheels of large diameter. This allows the tractor to be used as additional equipment for the Don 1500 combine.
