Which tractor belongs to which category? How many categories of tractor rights?

To find out which tractor belongs to which category according to domestic standards, it is necessary to understand the classification of machines by traction characteristics and the type of rights provided for a particular equipment. The key parameter is traction. This takes into account the type of soil and the operating conditions of the unit. It is only natural that a tractor can transport less load on loose and damp ground than on a dry and hard surface.

Criteria

For agricultural self-propelled vehicles, the following aspects are provided that affect the maximum effort:

• A variety of soil is the stubble of ears of plants.
• The percentage of soil moisture is up to 30 percent.
• The hardness of the surface is normal.
• The percentage of slipping for 4 * 2/4 * 4 wheeled models and tracked variants is 16/14/3%.

Classification

Light and heavy, tracked or wheeled tractor in which category? Typically, traction is indicated by a number measured in ton-force. Less common are classes marked by power in kilonewtons. For comparison, 10 tf are equal to 1 kN. That is, if the equipment is marked 14 kN, then it belongs to the category of 1.4 strong machines.

The modern classification according to domestic standards provides for 17 classes of self-propelled equipment in terms of traction. Marking starts from garden or garden walk-behind tractors and ends with a particularly powerful tracked vehicle. Below we consider these varieties in more detail to understand which category of vehicles a tractor of one type or another belongs to.

Group subdivision

Conventionally, this technique can be divided into several groups, namely:

1. Mini-tractors belong to the class of 0.2-0.4. The machines are designed for processing small areas, for operation with additional trailed or mounted devices. In addition, machines can be used to transport goods.
2. Universal tractor in what category? It is generally accepted that such aggregates are classified as 0.6-2.0. The equipment is intended for a wide range of agricultural work, including plowing, sowing, processing, watering, cultivating crops, as well as transporting them to storage places.
3. General purpose machines are represented by category 3-7. They are used to perform energy-intensive manipulations (cleaning the territory from snow, cultivation, plowing, land reclamation, transportation of goods). This category is used in large areas.
4. A special technique that can have a certain direction in processing a particular crop. For example, vegetable-growing, cotton-processing modifications and tractors used in processing, harvesting beets and other root crops.
5. Units on self-propelled chassis are mainly used as small machines in economic fields, and have a front frame.

Next, we consider what category the MTZ-82 tractor and other representatives of this transport line belong to.

Class 0.2-0.9

Let's start in order. The following machines belong to category 0.2:

• MTZ-82, "Belarus-112".
• Ussuriets, KMZ-012, Uralets T-02.
• Chinese modifications such as "Photon TE-244", "Cherie", "Dong Feng".
• Japanese models “Mitsubishi”, “Kubota”, “Iseki”.

These machines are used to work in small areas as walk-behind tractors and conveyors, with the possibility of using trailed and attached equipment.

Category 0.4 is not widely spread in the domestic market.A popular representative of this class is the HTZ-7 machine and the Chinese counterpart from Jinma. Universal characteristics are possessed by 0.6 class machines. They are in demand in various areas of the national economy, produced at the Vladimir Tractor Plant, in Belarus and at Chinese enterprises. If you answer the question of which category the T-25 tractor belongs to, we can say that it is ranked just in the group under consideration and is popular when working in the fields and in the utility industry.

As for the 0.9 class, such machines are also considered universal, are used for agricultural and municipal works, as well as in some other areas. Particularly bright representatives: LTZ-55, VTZ-45, TTZ-80, T-40.

Class 1.4 and 2

Studying the question of which category the tractor belongs to, we will move on to more powerful modifications. Category 1.4 is ranked among the most massive in the agricultural sector, housing and communal services and construction. This list includes MTZ-52, Belarus-82, LTZ-95 and some other domestically produced cars and their foreign counterparts.

The second class for the most part relates to tracked models. This is due to increased load and traction needs. In addition, this category includes several modern wheel variations. Frequently used representatives of this category: LTZ-155, T-70, T-54V, Belarus-122, John Gear, Deutz Agrofarm 430, CASE IH Maxxum 125.

More powerful representatives

For example, DT-75. This tractor belongs to which category? Like its relative under the index 175, the car is ranked in the third class. Applied technology in the extraction of ore and other minerals, as well as in the agricultural sector. Representatives of this group also include: “Agromash-90”, “John Gear-6”, “New Holland”, “Belarus-1523”.

The fourth class of tractors is represented by several wheeled and tracked options. Among them: “Belarus-2022/2103”, KhTZ-181, ATM-3180, the seventh series from the American manufacturer “John Gear”, as well as an updated version of “New Holland”.

The fifth category of equipment is equipped with all-wheel drive and tracks or treads with a wide, deep pattern. Machines are used in a diverse range of agricultural sectors, and also perform the function of a tractor when traveling on impassable roads. Among the fifth class, the most popular brands are: “Belarus-2522/3022”, “Kirovets”, “Magnum”, T-250/501.

What category does the K-700 tractor belong to?

Next, we consider the most powerful group in terms of traction characteristics. The sixth class includes tracked vehicles T-100M, T-130, as well as wheeled models K-700/744. Tractors successfully solve problems of increased complexity in the agricultural, construction, utilities and mining industries in various climatic zones. Foreign modifications in this segment are represented by the Case brand (IH -430/480/530).

The seventh category includes cars with the most powerful and energy-saturated indicators. Machines are used for processing any soil and other complex work. This technique is produced in limited series. Among the representatives noted domestic brands Terrion ATM-7360 and UDM-5K-02, as well as foreign counterparts such as Buhler Versatile, New Holland, John Deere. These machines belong to the group of the most powerful options that are produced in series.

Tractor Rights

Which tractors belong to the category "D"? The photo of the machine presented above indicates that the equipment for the right to control requires qualification “D”. However, before considering this model, you should study the basic rules that allow you to obtain the rights of a tractor driver.

The form for obtaining documents is regulated by the State Technical Supervision Service. This provides a single registration of rights, which are a card filled out on both sides. The front part contains information about the identity of the owner, photo and signature.On the reverse side there is information about the class of equipment used, as well as the right of admission to control the machine.

In principle, the rights to drive a tractor are similar to similar driver's documents for ordinary vehicles, however, they differ in categories and color of the form. The basis for the granting of such rights is confirmation of the passage of special courses issued at the end of theoretical and practical classes.

This document is not an unconditional permission to control the equipment, but represents a certain admission to the special exam in the directive of the State Technical Supervision. Without a special certificate, it is allowed to control equipment whose power does not exceed four kilowatts. It is worth noting that in case of non-compliance with the established regulations for violations of the procedure for driving special equipment, the responsibility lies not only with the driver, but also with his employer.

Types of equipment management documentation

Which tractors belong to the category "E", "D" and others? This question can be answered by studying the main groups provided for in this class of machines.

They are presented below in the list:

1. Class "A" gives the right to drive vehicles that are not intended for public roads. This group includes snow and swamp vehicles, ATVs, warehouse equipment and similar mechanisms.
2. Category “B” is issued to drivers who have received the right to drive funds on wheels or tracks whose power does not exceed 34 horsepower (25.7 kW).
3. Having received class "C", the operator can control tractors with a capacity of up to 150 "horses".
4. Category "D" - permission to work with units of 150 horsepower and above, mainly on wheels.
5. Class "E" - control of tracked vehicles with power over 24.7 kW.
6. Category F allows the use of agricultural heavy self-propelled vehicles.

Discharges

Which tractors belong to the category “D” and other classes are discussed above. However, there are also categories that regulate the operator’s access to control various types of equipment. If you select these categories separately, they can be dispersed as follows:

1. The second category allows you to control special equipment under the supervision of an experienced mentor. In addition, the driver can repair loading and attachments for tractors.
2. Battery loaders and other lifting devices can be controlled by a third-rate operator. He also has access to loading and unloading and stacking various kinds of cargo.
3. The fourth category allows you to control equipment with a capacity of over 100 horsepower, which is used in the agricultural sector, industry and construction. This category provides for the possibility of independent repair and maintenance of the machine.
4. The fifth category implies the ability to manage and maintain bulldozers, excavators and other heavy equipment.
5. The operator with the sixth rank can control similar machines whose power exceeds 200 horsepower.

Total

Driving a tractor requires special skills. The rights to manage such mechanisms are divided into several categories, which are described above. Ignoring the rules can lead to an accident or unforeseen consequences. From this it follows that the management of the machines in question requires appropriate training and special attention.
