Today, the Minsk Tractor Plant mass-produces a large line of models of self-propelled machines for agricultural, transport, road-building and earth-moving purposes. Among them, the most common and popular is 1221 tractor - a universal row-crop brand of wheeled equipment. Also referred to as Belarus-1221 or 1221 MTZ.
The future consumer will be satisfied with the wide range of applications of the MTZ tractor in the field of crop production, livestock farming, irrigated agriculture and land reclamation (ploughing, plowing, etc.), municipal and forestry, industry, and road construction. It is noteworthy that the prototype of the model is used in the game Farming Simulator 2020 under the working title MTZ 1221 sarex. The detailed description of the vehicle set out in the article will introduce you to the technical characteristics of the MTZ 1221, its advantages and disadvantages.
Main purpose
Most often, this small tractor is purchased, of course, by farmers. The MTZ-1221 model was developed specifically to perform a wide range of agricultural work. Most often, this technique is used to prepare the soil for pre-sowing. The tractor copes with this task perfectly both on light soils and on heavy alumina and even on virgin soil.
In addition, the MTZ-1221 m model can be used in agriculture for mowing and for transporting various types of cargo. In gardens, this model is often used to form the crowns of fruit trees and berry bushes. In this case, a special type of attachment is attached to the tractor - a brush cutter.
Where else can it be used
Very often, such tractors are also purchased by utility workers. In this area, MTZ-1221, whose technical characteristics are actually very good, is most often used for transporting garbage and branches. Also in cities, this tractor is used to clear snow from streets. Of course, this model can be used on the streets of big cities and as a brush cutter. In construction, the MTZ 1221 series tractor is most often used to transport various types of loads. On roads it is usually used when performing pothole repairs of asphalt.
This model is popular in various spheres of the national economy, including its relatively low cost. The price of new MTZ tractors of the 1221 series is approximately 1200-1250 thousand rubles.
Why do the front wheels of the MTZ-82 “run”
The cause of these problems lies in several possible breakdowns of various systems, and the most common of them are listed below:
- First of all, the tractor driver should check how evenly the cylinders are inflated, since due to their large size, the volume of air in them is also considerable; the slightest imbalance can cause vibrations.
- It is also necessary to determine the amount of pressure itself, because deep mud grips hit the surface with force when driving at high speed, causing the tractor to rock. This effect is especially pronounced when too much pressure is pumped into the wheels on the MTZ, and the driver should slightly deflate the tires to a maximum pressure of 1.2...1.4 atm.
- The draft arms may be poorly balanced or become loose during intense field work. So, if such a problem occurs, it is necessary to eliminate the freedom of movement of individual parts in these elements, and the vibration will suddenly disappear. In addition to the rods, you should also check the shafts, couplings, ball joints, bipods and sectors, each of which has threads with nuts and, accordingly, needs periodic tightening.
- If the tractor has gone more than a year without maintenance or has survived the winter at rest, the flexible cuffs can be significantly damaged, which will inevitably lead to leaks on the hydraulic elements. This deficiency is especially pronounced in the power steering distribution head, which must be eliminated by replacing the cuff or clutch.
- One of the main problems when the effect of wheel loosening occurs is wear of the hubs, bearings and axle, which leads to free lateral movement of the wheel, affects the toe-in and camber of the wheels, and this causes vibration, eating up rubber and other unpleasant consequences. If such a problem is discovered after disassembling the hub, it must be immediately eliminated by replacing the bearing or assembly part, since it can subsequently damage the entire suspension on the tractor.
- In addition, if wear of these parts is not noticed, it is worth checking the nuts and studs for fastening the wheel rim, since this effect is often caused by the banal loosening of the nuts or by the fact that the increased load on the studs tears off part of the thread from it. For preventive maintenance, you should also inspect all other washers, nuts, bushings and other fasteners or consumables.
The front wheels of the MTZ-82 tractor must be replaced exclusively in pairs, since the purchase of only one tire may result in loss of effective operation. That is, one side will cling to the dirt more effectively, while the old tire will begin to slip. All this will lead to incorrect operation of the traction rack, motor and imbalance of the entire mechanism.

Processing should be carried out at partial load.
Chassis models
The MTZ-1221 transmission is structurally somewhat different from that used on tractors of previous models. The rear axle axle shafts of the 1221 equipment are reinforced. This allows you to use more powerful and heavier attachments with the tractor without the risk of damage. The front axle, like the rear, is driven. In this case, the tractor can use both planetary and beam-coaxial versions. The model’s brakes can be either “dry” or “wet”.
The MTZ-1221 clutch is a double-disc, friction, permanently closed type. The leading part of the coupling for this tractor is the flywheel, basket and middle element. In this case, the driven disk includes two disks, supplemented with torsional vibration dampers.
Tractor cabin
This model has earned good reviews from machine operators, among other things, for the fact that you can work on it with relative comfort. The interior of the tractor is decorated with fabric and plastic panels. The cabin looks quite modern. There is a hatch in the tractor roof. The large glass area provides the operator with a good overview. The cabin can be ventilated either through the hatch or through the opening rear window. All main controls in the cabin are located on the right.
The cabin frame of the model is made of bent shaped profile and is characterized by a high degree of reliability. Outside there are rear-view mirrors, light signaling devices and a sun visor. The front window of the model is equipped with an electric windshield wiper.
"Belarus" was created specifically to perform a wide range of agricultural work and is able to satisfy any need of a farmer for hard work. The tractor's traction class is 2.0, which allows it to be used both for soil preparation in pre-sowing operations and for transport and utility work. The versatility of the MTZ-1221 lies in the classic layout for this class of tractors. The tractor can be used when cultivating various types of soil in the most severe climatic conditions.
Thanks to a wide range of additional equipment, accessories and towing devices, MTZ-1221 can be combined with modern equipment and agricultural machines. The tractor inherited from its predecessors the traditional simplicity of design, high performance and reliability.
Tractor engine MTZ-1221
As a power unit, the tractor uses a diesel engine D-260.2S with a power of 130 hp. (96 kW) equipped with turbocharging. The modern in-line six-cylinder engine meets all safety and environmental requirements, and also features very modest oil and diesel fuel consumption. The MTZ-1221 engine can use both imported and domestic fuels and lubricants and may well be comparable to foreign analogues of this class.
Cabin
The MTZ-1221 tractor is equipped with a modern, comfortable cabin. The cab frame is made up of bent shaped profiles to ensure the safety of the tractor driver. To protect from direct sunlight during operation, tinted spherical glass is used. The main tractor controls are located inside the cabin. The interior of the farm tractor cabin has a simple taste with the use of carpets and upholstery. The roof of the MTZ-1221 cabin contains an emergency hatch and a ventilation system. For greater comfort, the cabin is soundproofed using sound-absorbing upholstery and mastic. Rear-view mirrors, a sun visor and light signaling devices are mounted outside the cabin.

Mechanical wheel locking on the MTZ-1221 tractor
In some cases, on the most inaccessible sections of roads, a classic rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive tractor cannot cope with a thick layer of mud and return to its track.
This locking system has the following fairly simple design and principle of operation:
- The locking itself is made in the form of two cams, each of which is securely fixed on the drives of standard gears of the device, on the inside of the shafts, which in turn have a special grinding of the end to ensure play of these cams and the couplings installed on them.
- These couplings are connected to a drive made in the form of a separate pedal and lever on one side and, accordingly, to a locking and turning device on the central shaft at the opposite end.
- So, if necessary, the operator simply presses the locking drive pedal, the clutch moves in the space allocated for it, entails a shaft and a locking device, which securely snaps onto the gear, preventing further freedom of rotation of each wheel axle separately.
- This lever with a pedal in the cabin has a spring and automatic reverse action and, if released, it will return to its original position, and the differential lock will be removed and the wheels will begin to rotate normally.
- For longer fixation of the locking lever for the MTZ-1221 tractor, there is a special stopper on the pedal, pressing which causes the clutch to remain in the locked position for a longer time.

Fuel consumption standards for wheeled tractors
Engine reliability and power are beyond praise, perhaps this is the most durable unit in the MTZ tractor. And Belarusians just want to reduce the cost, although the tractor itself is becoming more expensive every year - inflation, they say. The engine has cylinders with a diameter of mm. There are 3 outputs for mounted and trailed equipment.
The tractor is especially voracious if you work with a cultivator or a five-furrow plow.
The MTZ tractor is equipped with a low-capacity battery, although this is hardly a secret to anyone.
To do this, perform a comprehensive diagnosis.
Increased fuel consumption, weak front axle and inconvenient rear glazing - this is also all about MTZ
Works with a plow and other accessories. In short, we changed the radiator, because there’s already enough dancing with a tambourine.
Factors affecting the fuel consumption of tractors Excessive fuel consumption or less than expected fuel consumption can be caused by several factors. MTZ-1221.2, MTZ-82-plowing.
