In 1965, the Bryansk Automobile Plant began serial production of heavy industrial crawler tractors T-180. This tractor was a modernized version of the T-140 tractor, which had been serially produced at the same plant since 1958. An interesting fact is that the design of the T-140 tractor was developed at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, but due to the fact that in the early 50s the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant was overloaded and could not establish serial production of the new machine, it was decided to organize the production of the new tractor at the newly opened Bryansk Automobile Plant. When developing the tractor, the developments of the AT-S 712 artillery tractor were used, also developed by the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant and produced from 1950 to 1962. And the engine for the T-140 tractor was developed taking into account maximum unification with the KDM-46 engine of the S-80 tractor. And in this video I would like to tell you about the structure of the T-180 tractor, released in 1966, which I managed to find in almost complete condition. Many thanks to the head of the farm for the opportunity to see this rare machine, as well as to capture it for history!
