The largest tractors in the world

A tractor is a universal human assistant that is used in many economic fields. Large and powerful machines are produced in several countries around the world. What are the largest tractors?

The largest tractor in the USSR

During the Soviet era, a huge industrial tractor with caterpillar tracks was created, which received the attention of the Guinness Book of Records. We are talking about the T-800 bulldozer. It is recognized as the most productive, largest and most powerful in the world.

The length of the giant is twelve meters and forty centimeters, its height is almost five meters. The mass of the unit is also serious, it is one hundred and six tons. The bulldozer engine is BelAZovsky with an intercooler and gas turbine supercharging. Its speed is insignificant - it moves forward at a speed slightly greater than ten kilometers, and backward at a speed of fourteen kilometers per hour. This largest bulldozer with ripper and bulldozer equipment was built by the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant.

Initially, as conceived by the developers, the tractor was supposed to become an assistant when working with frozen heavy soils and rocks, where explosives are powerless. It was assumed that it would be useful for large-scale excavation work during road construction. With such an assistant, drilling and blasting operations are not required, since the bulldozer is capable of tearing rock with its weight and fang.

The T-800 fully demonstrated its capabilities during the construction of the South Ural Nuclear Power Plant, as well as during the reconstruction of Magnitogorsk. After the baptism of labor, the giant bulldozer began to be used where other equipment was powerless.
