Technical characteristics of the tractor "VTZ-2048A"
Areas of application of "VTZ-2048A"
The task of making the most versatile and multifunctional tractor for work in rural areas and in urban conditions can be considered completed. "VTZ-2048A" is perfect for all types of field work: pre-sowing soil preparation; carrying out the sowing campaign and subsequent care of cultivated plants, for inter-row treatment against weeds and for harvesting.
Gone are the giant collective farms and their amazing acreage. And economic efficiency has become a top priority in modern farming.
The VTZ-2048A tractor suited them as one of the most inexpensive, economical to operate, multifunctional and unpretentious options on the agricultural machinery market.
Thanks to its small dimensions, the VTZ-2048A can be successfully used in confined spaces - in small fields, vineyards, orchards, greenhouses, and livestock farms. In terms of productivity, it is slightly inferior to the Belarusian “high school students”, while consuming 1.5-2 times less fuel.
In urban conditions, the VTZ-2048A tractors are used to clean streets, squares, and stadiums from snow and debris; in road repairs and in the construction industry. This compact and practical tractor is perfectly suited for work in the city and has virtually no restrictions on installing additional mounted and semi-mounted equipment for any purpose.
Engine and gearbox "VTZ-2048A"
This tractor “inherited” the engine from its predecessor, the T-45. This is a 4-stroke, 3-cylinder, in-line 3.12-liter diesel engine “D-130” with a power of 45 hp. and air-cooled.
This engine is distinguished by the fact that it produces high torque (177 Nm/18.1 kgf-m) over a wide speed range. This makes the technique more “flexible” - both simply in movement and in working with a load.
The specific fuel consumption of the D-130 engine is declared by the manufacturer as 236 g/kWh at rated power and 241 g/kWh at operating power.
The weight of the D-130 engine, depending on the configuration, ranges from 323 to 340 kg.
The crankshaft speed is 2000 per minute.
Torque is transmitted to the tractor chassis using a “generation-tested” manual gearbox, which has not undergone any major changes since the T-25 “Vladimirets”. It has eight forward and six reverse gears.
In general, over the years of its operation, the D-130 engine also managed to earn a reputation as an extremely reliable, unpretentious and durable engine. By the way, in addition to the VTZ-2048A and Agromash-50/TK tractors currently produced by the enterprise, this diesel engine is also installed on welding machines and cement trucks.
Dimensional and mass indicators, transmission and control features
As noted earlier, one of the main advantages of the new tractor was its increased horsepower from 25 to 45, while maintaining almost the same modest overall dimensions as the good old T-45.
For VTZ-2048A they are, in mm: Length 3730/Width 1650/Height 2540.

Such modest dimensions, combined with a hydraulic power steering system, provide excellent maneuverability and excellent handling. In these indicators, which has been noted more than once in practice, the modern “Vladimirets” has undeniable advantages over its Chinese-made “classmates”.
Farmers also appreciated this option of the VTZ-2048A transmission, as the ability to change the track size of both the front and rear wheels of the tractor, in accordance with the required width of the rows on the field. In this case, the front track width can vary from 1320 to 1550 mm, and the rear track - from 1200 to 1485 mm.
The operating weight of the tractor is determined by the manufacturer to be 2.62 tons; ground clearance (ground clearance) is 348 mm. The VTZ-2048A is equipped with disc brakes and tires with increased load capacity.
Cabin design and features
The self-propelled chassis features a modern design and a cabin that is distinguished not only by comfort, but also by the ability to view the terrain from all sides. The cabin is vibration and noise insulated, has a heating and ventilation system. Inside there is one adjustable seat for the driver, made in such a way that the sitter does not experience quickly tiring strain on the back. Thanks to the large glass area, the driver receives 100% visibility, which allows him to fully control the work being done. The cabin is equipped with high-quality lighting, rear-view mirrors and windshield wipers.
Cabin of VTZ universal tractors
Most consumers consider the advantages of this manufacturer’s equipment to include a relatively high degree of comfort for the driver. The cabin on all popular modifications of VTZ is single-seat, two-door. It is made on a rigid frame. And this, in turn, makes the driver’s work as safe as possible. If the VTZ tractor overturns, its cabin does not wrinkle, remaining intact. The safety frame is made from bent very strong profiles.
For the driver’s convenience, the cabin of VTZ universal tractors is equipped with heating and ventilation systems. The advantages of all models from this manufacturer include a fairly large glass area. This provides the driver with the best possible view. The glass in the cabins of VMZ tractors not only has a significant area, but also a convex shape. This, in turn, helps reduce noise and vibration levels in the cabin.
The seats of tractors from this manufacturer can be adjusted in several different positions - in accordance with the driver’s weight and height.
Instead of a cabin, many VTZ modifications can have a safety cage with an awning installed.
Advantages and disadvantages of the model
On various websites dedicated to technology, you can find both positive and negative reviews about the tractor. The percentage of the former is much higher. There are qualities that are applicable in practice, such as:
- maneuverability;
- long service life;
- the ability to equip with various devices;

VTZ tractors
VTZ tractors are products of the Vladimir Tractor Plant, which has been operating since 1945. The company specializes in the manufacture of special equipment equipped with wheels and tracks. The priority activity of the plant is the production of VTZ 2000 tractors of various modifications. Through their use, a wide range of municipal and agricultural work can be carried out. This opportunity is realized thanks to the presence of additional attachments.
The design features of tractors contribute to changing the track size. The vehicle becomes more stable on different road surfaces, and its cross-country potential tends to increase. Here we can talk about optimal maneuverability of the tractor, as well as simpler and better processing of crops with different heights and row spacing.
A wide range of attachments allows you to expand the range of operation of tractors. Installing a feed dispenser allows you to use the VTZ tractor in livestock farming, and the additional purchase of a trailer makes it easier to transport goods. A plow, cultivator, seeder or mower can be most useful during field work.
Prices
The price of the SS depends on the service life and modification. A used unit can be purchased for 250-300 thousand rubles. A new tractor will cost around 500,000 rubles. The cost of a fully equipped secondary school can reach up to 1,000,000 rubles. VTZ 30SSh is the result of numerous modifications and the introduction of the latest developments in scientific and technical thought. His right to life is secured by practice.
The tractor has proven itself worthy in many areas. Reliable and inexpensive, it will be in demand for a long time.
Modifications of the VTZ-2048A tractor
The export version of the tractor was its modification “VTZ-2048AE” , with a D-130/10 engine. It was created specifically for supply to European markets, and in 2006 it was certified to the second level of European noise and toxic emissions standards, as well as other environmental standards.
The need for this certification was due to the fact that more than 60 percent of Vladimir tractors have always traditionally been supplied to Eastern European countries. With the accession of the former socialist countries and the Soviet Baltic republics to the European Union, it was necessary to modify the tractor to European standards.
The VTZ-2048AE modification was exported to Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, and Germany; as well as to Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
