I wondered how many of those tractors were Belarus tractors? A whole lot of them if the radiators are an indication.

Why don't we have races liked that in he US?

and they say a Belarus is poorly made?

Hi
used to be a dealer for Belarus they have a pretty good top road speed if you put bigger tires on and up the revs.
My old puller has 18.4 x 38 rears and at one time revved 3000 rpm, it wasn't stopping or steering that was the problem. just how much nerve a guy had to keep opening the throttle.
The other plus is the front axle has suspension on 2wd and the fwa type axles up until they changed the axle type on fwa in the last few years.
I have driven them on rough roads in top gear, it smooths things out pretty good. So over all they are well suited to the sport of tractor racing, from what I know.
Regards Robert

Hi
They all are! in Russia until the last few years you pretty well farmed with a Belarus or took the bullet for refusal.
Basically they have millions of them over there. Those guys were the biggest manufacturer in the world at one time.
How many do you know of in your or surrounding area, to put a race on like that?.
I guess numbers and the cost of insuring such a red neck race kills it, here in North America.
