13 August 2026, Belarus: Belarus Series 300, built by Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ), is the entry point into the Belarus tractor lineup — a compact machine rated at 33-35 HP with a 16-forward/8-reverse gearbox. At just 1,500-1,770 kg, it’s the lightest series in the full MTZ range, with a lifting capacity of 870-1,100 kg.
What sets it apart: The Series 300’s small footprint and low weight make it well suited to smallholder farms, greenhouses, orchards, and other confined working spaces where larger tractors can’t maneuver. Despite its size, MTZ’s characteristic design philosophy — simple, robust construction with straightforward maintenance — carries through from the flagship series down to this entry-level model, keeping running costs low for smaller operations.
Best fit: Small-scale farmers, market gardeners, and greenhouse or orchard operators needing an affordable, maneuverable tractor for light cultivation, mowing, and general property work rather than heavy field tillage.
