The biggest tractor. The biggest tractors of the world: description, technical characteristics

At the moment, almost every country in the world annually holds an exhibition One of the most iconic for Russia was the exhibition of ZAO Petersburg Tractor Plant in Moscow (2009), which featured the largest domestic tractor Kirovets K-9520. But, despite its impressive size and specifications, he still does not exceed the quality of his American colleague "BigBud-747", which for more than 30 years is considered the largest tractor in the world.

What are special and unique these giants?

History of production

The American millionaire inventor Ron Harmon was engaged in the manufacture of this "giant", who then closely cooperated with the design office "Northern Manifacturing". In fact, Ron did not expect to create a new super-tractor, which will be produced serially on the assembly line. "BigBud-747" was developed in a single copy for two brothers-agronomists Rossi, who in the 70's were engaged in the cultivation of cotton in the city of Bakersfield, California. To date, the largest tractor in the world goes to the fields of America and for the entire period of its existence has not been put into mass production. What is the most interesting, for 37 years yet no company in the world has developed such a technique that would have similar dimensions with the "Big-Bud" dimensions and technical characteristics.

What is the world capable of?

As it turned out, the capacity of this equipment is enough to handle about 400 hectares of soil per day. A huge 30-meter plow clung to the tractor, which is capable of plowing the earth to a depth of up to 120 centimeters. Such a productivity can not boast of any modern agricultural machinery.

Technical features of the American "BigBud-747"

Under the hood the largest tractor in the world hides a powerful 16-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 760 horsepower.

The development of this unit involved the company "Detroit Diesel". Naturally, the appetite of such a giant was immodest. In a minute "BigBud-747" spent about 65 liters of diesel fuel. But, despite all equipped with a very small fuel tank (only 567 liters). Thus, a full refueling of the tractor was sufficient for only 8-10 minutes. Aggregated tractor 6-speed gearbox. The braking system here, as well as on heavy-duty wagons, air type (on all wheels).

As for the dimensions, "BigBud-747" simply amazes with its dimensions: the length is 8200 millimeters, the width is 6000 millimeters, the height is 4200 millimeters. The equipped weight of the tractor is 45.5 tons.

It should be said that tires for the "American" were developed individually by the Canadian company "United Tire Company". By the way, the diameter of the tires is equal to 240 centimeters. Having received such large wheels and engine, "BigBud-747" was instantly awarded the title "The biggest tractor in the world".

What is the fate of "Big-Bud" today?

11 years after its use, in 1988, the brothers Rossi decided to sell this technique to the farm "Willowbrook Farms", which is located in the state of Florida. For 9 years he constantly engaged in loosening and plowing the soil.

And in 1997 "Big-Bud" passed into the hands of the new owner, and now he is in his small homeland, in Montana. Having got to the new owner, it was slightly upgraded and got a new diesel engine with a capacity of 900 horsepower. According to experts, today's cost is about 600 thousand dollars.

Before of today   This tractor is in absolutely working condition and till now it processes and loosens the soil of fields.

Russian hero - "Kirovets To 9520"

Unlike its American counterpart, the largest tractor in Russia has a slightly weaker engine (in 516 "horses") and a more modern design. Also worth noting is a new modification of the old Kirovtsa series - K-744R3 M1, with a 428-liter engine. from.

Both models of tractors are equipped with the latest technology, and all components are manufactured by the world's leading manufacturers. So, the modernized "K-744R3" is equipped with a turbo-diesel engine "MB OM 457 LA" and a German axial-piston hydraulic system from the company "Bosch". According to the manufacturer, the models "K-9520" and "K-744R3 M1" have high performance, power, are characterized by ease of operation and modern appearance (see photo).

The largest tractor in Russia, the K-9520 series is the latest development of the Kirov plant, which inherited all the best features of its predecessors: reliable construction, a powerful and economical motor. Indeed, over the past few years the pace of development of domestic equipment has been so high that it can be confidently said that Russian tractors will be leading in the entire world market in the next 5-10 years.

Conclusion

So, we examined the technical characteristics of the largest tractor in the world of American origin "Big Bud-747" and the features of the new Russian "hero" Kirovets K-9520.

The tractor is a universal helper of man, which is used in many economic spheres of activity. Large and powerful machines are produced by several countries around the world. Which tractors are the biggest?

The largest tractor in the USSR

  During the USSR, an industrial tractor of enormous dimensions was built on caterpillar tracks, which was awarded the attention of the Guinness Book of Records. We are talking about the bulldozer T-800. It is recognized as the most productive, the largest and most powerful in the world.

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

Initially, according to the idea of ​​the developers, the tractor was to become an assistant when working with frozen heavy soils and rocks, where the explosive is powerless. It was assumed that it would be useful for earthmoving large volumes during the construction of roads. With such a helper, drilling and blasting is not required, since the bulldozer can tear the rock with its weight and canine teeth.

To the full, the T-800 showed its capabilities in the construction of the South Ural NPP, as well as in the reconstruction of Magnitogorsk. After labor baptism, the giant bulldozer was used where other technology was powerless.

The most powerful tractors in history

  Tractor - an indispensable assistant in many areas of activity. One of the most powerful tractors was created in America in the state of Montana. Its name is "Big Bud", which can be translated as "Big Boy". Who was engaged in designing is unknown, but several adventurers developed this tremendous tractor. The team was led by Ron Harmonne. The width of the tractor is six meters forty centimeters, the height of more than four meters, the length of eight meters. The engine's power is nine hundred horsepower, and the speed is seven miles per hour. The weight of the "Big Boy" is fifty-two tons. The length of the plow of this tractor is twenty-five meters, which allows you to cope with work on plantations of any size without much difficulty.

A powerful tractor is the TERRION ATM 7360 produced at the St. Petersburg Tractor Plant. It has a power of three hundred and sixty horsepower. One of the most popular large tractors in Europe is the Fendt 936 Vario. Its production is handled by the German company AGCO Corporation. The power of the machine varies from three hundred and fifty-five to five hundred horsepower, which depends on the firmware of the engine.

A tractor with a nominal power of three hundred and seventy horsepower is produced by the United Kingdom. Its name is Massey Ferguson MF 8690. The 15-liter engine is equipped with a Dutch tractor New Holland T9000. His power is five hundred and thirty-five "horses". Germany is engaged in the production of Claas Xerion 4500. The power of this tractor is four hundred and eighty-three "horses."

Huge units are produced in America by John Deere. One of the biggest giant tractors is called John Deere 8345R and 8360R with power up to three hundred and sixty horsepower, as well as John Deere 9R series with the capacity of five hundred and sixty "horses". It is known that John Deere works on sixty percent of all the agricultural lands of the planet.

A thousand and a hundred and fifty horsepower - this is the power of the Super Dozer bulldozer engine. Its full name is KOMATSU D575A-3 SD. The length of the car did not reach a maximum of twelve meters. Another powerful machine - KOMATSU D475A-5 SD, the power is eight hundred and ninety horsepower. There is a bulldozer with a capacity of eight hundred and fifty "horses" - this is CATERPILLAR D11R / D11R CD.

The biggest tractor in the world

  Powerful large tractors produced a lot. But there is among them recognized as the largest in the world. This is a bulldozer, which has never been used - it's an ACCO dozer with a capacity of one thousand three hundred horsepower. It was designed by the Italian company ACCO for Libya in the early eighties. The bulldozer was supposed to help in the development of new territories. Well, very large tractors Caterpillar D9

The most powerful armored vehicle in the world is going to be created in Russia, while the T-800 bulldozer will be used as a basis. This machine will be more powerful than the American unit Caterpillar D9.

Great machinery is needed at large enterprises. For example, according to the website, the largest plant in the world   is engaged in the production of aircraft.

The creation of huge units of equipment is not required for the sake of striving to break the record. Their creation is claimed by the complication of production tasks, as well as by increasing the requirements for work results. That's why special tractors are much larger than conventional trucks. The only limitation for them is the existing framework of scientific and technological progress, as well as the production task. In this article we will tell you about what is the biggest tractor in the world.

First place - Komatsu D575A (Japan)

The largest tractor in the world at the time of this writing is the crawler bulldozer. The car was created in 1980, but it began to be produced serially only after a decade. The tractor has a powerful engine (1150 horsepower) and is used in the mining industry. The length of the Komatsu D575A is 12.6 meters. The machine has a water cooling system, as well as a turbo. Komatsu D575A, due to its technical characteristics, moves the cargo in 70 cubic meters of volume.

The second place - T-800 (Republic of Belarus)

This bulldozer has 12.4 meters in length and 4.2 meters in width. The machine weighs about 100 tons. For its movement, the engine is used, capable of developing a capacity of 820 horsepower. This is the most powerful tractor in the CIS countries. The gearbox of the machine has 6 gears: 4 for driving forward and two rear. Used T-800 for mining or large construction projects, which include a large amount of excavation. At the time of this writing, only ten such models have been produced.

Third place - Big Bud-747 (United States of America)

The American giant. These models are the largest machines in the world used in the field of agriculture. The machine is equipped with a powerful engine (760 horsepower), which has 16 cylinders. In addition, Big Bud-747 survived the upgrade in 1996. The updated model has become even more powerful. The length of the Big Bud-747 is 7.9 meters, and the width is 6.2 meters. The bulldozer moves on wheels with tires measuring 2.3 meters in size. "Feeds" the tractor with diesel fuel.

Fourth place - Challenger MT975 B (United States of America)

There is no larger mass tractor than the Challenger MT975B. It was created by an American company for agricultural work. Works with all-wheel drive, has a capacity of 600 horsepower. The length of the car is about 8 meters. The width is a little less than five meters.

The fifth place - Qudtrac 600 (Germany)

Qudtrac 600 has an engine capacity of 660 "horses", so it is not only a major technical tool, but also powerful enough. The model has an analog that does not work on tracks, but on wheels - STEIGER. In all other respects, both models are completely similar.

They are used for construction and mining. The tractor is not only widely used in Germany itself, but also in demand abroad. The machine was exported to 12 countries around the world. STEIGER has been produced since 1995. Serial release continues to this day.

Sixth place - John Deere 9RT (United States of America)

Agricultural model. This is by far not the heaviest tractor, however, its dimensions are quite impressive. In addition, it is distinguished by a classic layout. Engine capacity of 610 horsepower is able to work on low-quality fuel without damage. A special adapted suspension assembly allows the John Deere 9RT to operate under the most severe conditions. However, for construction or mining operations, "John" is not used. He does not have the ability to transport such cargo arrays as are required to perform tasks in these areas.

The seventh place - Fiat-Allis FD50 (Italy)

The Italian bulldozer, which is produced since 1980. During this time, this model has proved itself from the good side both in the construction and mining areas. Thanks to its good spaciousness, the bulldozer is able to transport a huge amount of cargo (ore, construction debris, etc.) at a time. The Fiat-Allis FD50 has a strong engine, which has a capacity of six hundred horsepower. This power allows him to move fast enough. The tractor weighs about 80 tons. Production of the model was discontinued in 1989, but these machines are still used in many countries around the world.

Eighth place - CHETRA HEAVY 40Ya (Russian Federation)

The car was created by the now defunct Chelyabinsk company. Initially, it was intended for heavy industrial tasks. Successfully applied CHETRA HEAVY 40Ya and for construction works. The tractor differs not only in its impressive size, but also in the large volume of its tank. It holds about 1200 liters of fuel. CHETRA HEAVY 40Ya can safely move forward and backward, which is deprived of some tractors. The engine is capable of developing a power of 600 horsepower. This is a fairly good result. The model weighs about 69 tons.

Ninth place - T-50/01 (Russian Federation)

Another tractor of Russian production. Serially to be issued it began in the distant 1980. This is the most massive bulldozer of the late Soviet Union. It was used practically in all spheres of industry, including oil and gas, hydraulic engineering, mining and construction sector. In addition, the model is often used in the processing of heavy soils.

Tenth place - CATERPILLAR D11T CD (United States of America)

Cat tractors are recognized as one of the most reliable. Their operating time is much higher than many competitors. Using a modular design allows you to repair machines in a short time.

This tractor is used in the mining and construction fields. The fuel tank CATERPILLAR D11T CD holds 1600 liters of fuel, and the tractor weighs 113 tons. The length of this model is 9.2 meters, and the width is 2.5 meters. Engine power is about 634 kW (engine capacity is 32 liters).

These large and sometimes clumsy machines perform the most difficult kinds of work, thereby greatly facilitating the life of mankind. They are able to plow fields, transport cargo over long distances. Some of them are real giants and bogatyrs. Why do people produce the most large tractors   in the world? The creation of such giants was not at all caused by the desire to beat world records. Such special equipment was developed to solve very specific problems.

The famous T-800 really has impressive dimensions. It has until now been considered one of the most productive in its class. The dimensions of a heavy one are 12 meters 40 cm, and the height is about 5 meters. Weight of the giant - 106 tons. Equipped with bulldozer powerful engine from BelAz. At that time it was quite an "advanced" mechanism, it was equipped with an intercooler and had a gas turbine-type supercharger.

Like many tractors, it does not differ in cruising speed. It is only 10 km / h when driving forward and 14 km / h if the car was being pulled back. However, cruising speed is not required for such a heavy car. Its productivity is still on top. The equipment included equipment for bogies and bulldozers. They produced such machines at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant.

The developers of the giant hoped that the tractor could perform earthmoving   in a large amount, as well as participate in road construction. Having such an assistant there is no need to carry out the most complicated works, since the technique is able to cope even with the heaviest breed due to its own weight and canines. The tractor proved to be very useful during the construction of the South Ural NPP and in Magnitogorsk. After the construction of the nuclear power plant was completed, he was sent to work with which other equipment could not cope.

This tractor firmly holds the palm of primacy. After all, it is the largest on our planet. A powerful machine "on the shoulder" is the most complex work that involves the development of deposits of various minerals. Such work is always associated with the need to perform a huge volume, and for a short period of time. It was for this purpose that the Komatsu D575A was created. And he is the best in his class. Japanese engineers carefully approached the creation of a crawler bulldozer. The first tractor came off the assembly line in 1981. Approximately 10 years it was modified and investigated, and then launched into the series.

This is really a giant. It has a height of 4.88 meters, an impressive length of 11.71 meters, a width of the tractor of 7.39 meters. The weight of the monster is 131,350 tons. It's not surprising that he is able to move about 70 cubic meters of rock at a time. Powerful diesel engine in 1150 liters. from. If necessary, the tractor can be equipped with a blade, due to which it is able to move 96 cubic meters. The manufacturing plant is located in Osaka. This tractor is still working on a wide variety of quarries.

In this amazing large car the most modern technologies are used. It is produced in Russia, at a tractor plant in St. Petersburg. Engine power is 360 liters. from. The machine is equipped with a continuously variable transmission from ZF. It is very convenient and easy to operate a large tractor. It seems that the driver manages a small car, rather than a multi-ton tractor.

The tractor is capable of carrying out the most different types   Works that require the use of wide-cutting tools, is characterized by efficiency and productivity. Transmission has an intelligent control system, which allows you to correctly assess the load of the machine, the speed of movement. The powerful machine has a length of 6500 mm, a width of 2730 mm and an engine of 354 liters. from. Heavy tractor is able to develop quite a decent speed up to 40 km / h. Its weight is 14 600 kg.

The love of Americans for large cars, perhaps, is fully embodied in the Challenger MT975 B tractor. It is designed to handle large plantations. The machine belongs to all-wheel drive, a powerful engine of 600 liters. from. Impressive dimensions: length about 8 m, width about 5 meters, weight 27 tons. Of course, these parameters are more than enough for arable land, transportation of grass and hay and much more.

Not all large cars have wheeled equipment. There are also caterpillar copies among them. The tractor 9RT is able to move both on the plow field and on the asphalt, as it is equipped with a special suspension and a system for leveling the tracks. The machine has an engine, the volume of which is 13.5 liters. Its power is 616 hp. Initially, it was intended for agricultural work in Africa and in Asia. Can work even on low-quality fuel. The passage of caterpillars is known to everyone.

This machine is more like a military tank, although it is a tractor. However, there is definitely a similarity between them. Impressive in size caterpillars, brutal profile. Serial release was started in the distant 80 year of the last century. They sent him to the most difficult tasks, with which he coped perfectly. He took part in all major construction projects on the territory of the Soviet Union and even participated in the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The machine is multifunctional, reliable. The tractor was equally good at the construction site, in the quarry, and in hydraulic engineering. He easily coped with the heaviest soils.

In the world of heavy agricultural machinery has its own giants - these are the largest tractors in the world. Designed for the most difficult tasks, amazing imagination with the size and skill of their creators, they can impress anyone. But even among these, it would seem, giant machines, created to perform a variety of works, have their own record holders.

Many will be surprised to learn that the largest tractor in the world is produced in the "Land of the Rising Sun". But it is so. D575A is a proud toiler of a quarry of quarries. And although this is by no means the largest machine in development, yet it is able to surprise. Its length is almost 13 meters, and the engine power is 1150 liters. from. The engine is made in the best traditions of the Japanese industry - with water cooling, direct fuel injection and turbocharging. But all this power is not for a species. The front bucket of the tractor is 1.5 times higher than the person (3.6 meters) and is wider by almost four (7.4 meters). A huge dump at a time raises 70 cubic meters of rock, which can not but impress. But even this is not the limit. On the D575A you can install a bucket of even larger sizes - a height of 5 and a width of almost 12 meters;

The second place in the rating belongs to the tractor T-800, which is produced in Chelyabinsk. This giant, weighing 106 tons, and a length of more than 12 meters is designed to work with large volumes of land, or rock. The uniqueness of the tractor in its engines, the engineers decided to go on track and installed a 820 liters tank engine on the tractor. from. Unfortunately, this monster is not only one of the largest tractors in the world, but also one of the rarest - at the moment only 10 such machines have been produced;

Three of the leaders are confidently closing the representative of the United States Big Bud 747. And, despite the fact that this tractor is designed to work in the field, it is not much inferior to the other two megamachines. The 747 is designed for deep arable land with a plow, a width of 30 meters. He performs the assigned task fairly quickly, plowing 400 hectares of land a day. Such impressive opportunities for the "big buddy" are due to the unique engine capacity of 900 liters. from. and 8 special tires (2 per axle), a diameter of 2.5 meters. Well, a mass of 50 tons allows you to easily bite into even the coarse soil. Of course, and the appetites of such a strongman are appropriate - the tractor consumes 246 liters of fuel per minute, and the fuel tank is designed for 3795 liters.

Americans like big cars and tractors are no exception to this rule. Especially when it comes to the famous brand of special equipment Caterpillar. Her baby under the code MT975V is one of the largest in the world - the height of the tractor is 8 meters, width 5 meters, and weight - 27 tons. The engine capacity of 600 liters. from. with a torque reserve of 42% makes it a unique machine, designed for any work requiring great traction. Most often, these are agricultural tasks - plowland, transportation of grass and hay, etc.

Of course, there is among the largest tractors in the world and caterpillar machinery. 9RT feels equally comfortable both on the asphalt and on the rough terrain, thanks to the specially designed suspension system and alignment of the tracks. A distinctive feature of this machine is a 13.5-liter engine. And with a capacity of 616 liters. from. The model was being prepared for export to agricultural countries in Africa and Asia and, according to the manufacturer, does not lose power even with low-quality fuel. Well, about the passability of a caterpillar machine makes no sense to tell too long - excellent grip on the soil is a distinctive feature of the 9RT.

Two siblings produced by Case are ready for almost any task. Both tractors are equipped with a 670 hp engine. with., strengthened hydraulic system with pressure compensation. The difference between the two cars is in the chassis - Steiger has twin wheels, and the Qudtrac has caterpillars. From the majority of other tractors brothers differ universality - on them it is possible to establish the most different outboard equipment - a plow, claws for lifting and transportation of logs and even a ladle. And for the installation does not require special equipment or space, everything can be done in the conditions of own economy.

Who would have thought that Fiat company is widely known in the world thanks to a small ladies' car, capable of producing a real giant of industrial work. But it really is so, the FD50 was successfully manufactured from 1980 to 1989 and during this time the tractor managed to earn a good reputation both on construction sites and in quarries, where it is widely used for transportation of large volumes of cargo. The 80-ton giant confidently develops speed up to 50 km / hour thanks to the engine capacity of 600 liters. from. And, although the production of the tractor has long been stopped, the FD50 is still actively used around the world.

Another one of the largest tractors in the world comes from Russia. Unfortunately, the car is made in a single copy, but the manufacturer does not exist now. However, the outstanding size and power make this giant a worthy participant in the top of the largest tractors in the world. With a mass of 69 tons and an engine capacity of 600 liters. s., 40Ya was intended for performing heavy industrial tasks and in construction work. A distinctive feature of this model is the possibility of backing, which is deprived of most other tractors - both large and conventional. By the way, the machine itself is still actively used in quarrying and, according to the people who saw it in the business, copes well with its tasks.

No, this is not a tank, although in this mighty tractor there is something from a military machine. Distant affinity is given out by huge caterpillars and a strong profile. T-50/01 - one of the most massive tractors of the late USSR, it began to be produced back in 1980, and he managed to take part in virtually all theaters of "industrial battles." Multifunctionality and reliability of the machine allow using it almost everywhere - in construction, quarries, hydraulic works and in the processing of heavy soils. In addition, it was used to disassemble debris after the Chernobyl accident.

A dozen of the largest tractors in the world are closed by a representative of the United States. D11T is one of the most famous industrial machines used in the US and the reason for this is the unique modular design of the tractor that allows repairing in the shortest possible time with the help of special repair kits mass produced by SAT. It is interesting that at the same time the tractor is known for its reliability and durable work even under the most difficult conditions. And the main purpose of the machine is work in construction and mining. In order not to feel difficult to work with, the tractor is equipped with a proprietary CAT engine with a capacity of 850 liters. from. and a volume of 32 liters. With this power, the tractor is quite "compact" - its length is only 9 meters, and the height is 2.5 meters, which makes it possible to effectively use it when working in tunnels.
