Each owner strives to make his technique so that it suits him. This applies not only to cars, but also to tractors. Tuning them is also possible. And it is carried out by amateurs quite often. Most often they remake domestic equipment. Both the appearance and power units are subject to changes. This is due to the desire to become the owner of a unique, attractive and powerful unit.

What can be changed

Before you start tuning the tractor with your own hands, you need to evaluate your capabilities and skills. The desire to change something cannot replace the inability to hold a screwdriver in your hands. But, as the wise men say, it's never too late to learn.

If the choice fell in favor of alterations, then you need to decide on the type of tuning. It can be external (affecting changes in external body elements) and internal (replacement and alteration of power plants).

External tuning of the tractor is much easier. It maybe repainting the body in a different color, hanging a new bumper or optics, applying airbrushing.

Internal changes are a bit more complicated. Only a person who is versed in technology can perform them. The work involves changes in the working mechanisms: engine, suspension, gearbox.

Another important point to keep in mind at the beginning of the process concerns finances. High-quality parts and materials can lead to serious expenses. Therefore, deciding on alterations, decide on the amount you are willing to pay.

External tuning

The T-25 tractor or, for example, the MTZ model, in terms of its external characteristics, are significantly inferior to imported counterparts. Therefore, the appearance is often subject to change.

Many owners of equipment start tuning the tractor with painting the body elements or replacing them. Replacement elements can be purchased ready-made, made at the factory. And you can make them with your own hands, using elements from other equipment. They are customized to fit their tractor.

The next step is to change the optics. New headlights and brake lights will make the tractor more visible. Replacing them is the right step on the road to success.

It is very important to correctly paint the tractor body after mounting new parts. The opinion that it should be of the same color is erroneous. You can paint it in any desired color (within the allowable traffic rules). You can also apply airbrushing, interesting inscriptions and hieroglyphs. In order for all this to look aesthetically pleasing, the body must be carefully prepared. And one more importantmoment: the main thing is not to overdo it. External tuning can both decorate the tractor and ruin it.

Cab conversion

Work is much more pleasant if the cabin is warm inside, the seat is soft and comfortable. And your favorite music will come in handy in any tractor, whether it's John Deere, MTZ or T-25.

Tractor tuning involves changing the cab. Comfort in older models of technology is far from desirable. The first step is to replace the seat. It is important to consider two points here: convenience and size. The seat for the tractor should be comfortable for the operator, but small in size. Suitable options can be found in the store or picked up from other equipment.

Next, you can pay attention to the additional backlight. Recently, more and more people prefer LED lighting. It surpasses analogues in many ways.

You need to install the radio correctly. It is placed in the place where it is convenient to get it by hand while sitting on a chair. Speakers should provide uniform sound from all directions. If you want to install a subwoofer, then it must be placed behind, that is, behind the back of the chair.

Internal tuning

Internal tuning of a tractor involves changing its power unit. There are many options in this case. Some install more powerful engines from other types of equipment. Others improve permeability. Still others make their unit more economical. All these works have one thing in common: they can only be performed by a specialist.

Interesting is the idea of combining diesel and gas fuels. She appeared a few years ago. And there are already the first amateurs who were able to bring this idea to life and install a gas installation on a tractor. This allows you to reduce diesel fuel consumption, increase the period between repairs. At the same time, you need to go to the gas station almost twice as often.

Another interesting idea for tuning is the conversion of a tractor to a "half-track". It implies the installation of two tracks and two sets of tensioners. At the same time, rubber-metal tracks wrap around the drive wheels.

If we talk, for example, about tuning the MTZ tractor, then we can offer another option. It allows you to improve the permeability. It involves the installation of a bridge from a GAZ-66 car. To install it, you need to use additional bushings. In this case, you can take the drive from more powerful models.

Conclusion

As you can see, tuning tractors involves a large amount of work. You can do them individually, or you can make several changes at once. In any case, you need to sensibly evaluate your abilities and financial capabilities. In addition, do not forget that these works take a lot of time. Performing high-quality tuning in a short period of time will not work.
