With the development of agriculture, it became necessary to purchase specialized equipment. Not all tasks can be handled by a massive and powerful tractor, which is mainly used for processing large fields. Special jobs require special vehicles. One of these is the T-16 tractor. It is designed just for small agricultural land, as well as gardening. The peculiarity of this model, unlike the others in this class of equipment, is the location of the power unit and transmission, they are located in the rear of the tractor. Front - frame, on which the necessary equipment can be installed.
Scope of application
T-16 is a tractor distinguished by its versatility and versatility. It is thanks to its low power and additional attachments that it can perfectly cope with almost any work that may be related to gardening, animal husbandry and other agricultural matters. In addition, this transport is also used for the delivery of certain goods.
Due to its versatilityand versatility T-16 - a tractor that has gained particular popularity among people working in the field related to agriculture. Excellent maneuverability allows the chassis to be used even in ship ports, holds and train stations.
History
T-16 is a tractor designed by the Special Design Bureau located in Kharkov. The first car was introduced already in 1961. Over the entire history of the manufacture of the T-16, more than 600 thousand chassis of this model were created. The T-16 tractor is still used today in small agricultural enterprises and in budgetary companies. All thanks to practicality, which is why some companies do not miss the opportunity to purchase this versatile device. T-16 - a tractor that has additional space so that you can fix devices, such as, for example, a loading platform, a chainsaw, and various types of shovels for loading materials. Very often T-16 is used for spraying and even plowing.
The T-16 tractor is an improved and modernized version of the DVSh-16, which is no less popular. The people as soon as they didn’t call him - both “chassik”, and “shaitan”, and even “waiter”. The production of self-propelled chassis was carried out in the period from 1961 to 1967. Engineers developed a special gearbox that was capable of reversing speeds. It was an integral part of the T-16 tractor. For smooth and continuous operation of the machine, a pulley was installed, which was driven from the main power take-off shaft.
Modifications
After the modernization and refinement of DVSSH-16, the T-16 tractor, the photo of which is presented below, has become more advanced, with a more powerful engine. It is worth noting the fact that the T-16M version, on which a two-cylinder diesel power unit was installed, was produced until 1995.
After the "M" version, the modernized T-16MG tractor appeared. The designers improved it in several directions at once. First, it is worth mentioning that as a result of modernization, the self-propelled chassis has become more reliable and versatile. In addition, the safety parameters for the driver have been significantly improved and refined. The new T-16MG was equipped with a two-cylinder D-21A1 power unit, which was started using an electric starter and had air cooling. It is worth noting the presence of a dump platform for transporting various kinds of cargo.
Update
Already in 1986, an improved T-16 tractor was created, the photo of which surprised all fans of the previous version. This is because the new T-16MG has a more advanced cabin, and after the modernization of the power plant, the power of the diesel engine was 25 forces. Additionally, the list of improvements included work related to changes in the mechanics of the chassis, namely, three power take-off shafts were redone, while one of them could work independently. The level of efficiency has increased, reliability has been increased. The designers received a very versatile and more reliable tractor T-16. A loader that could be mounted on a chassis,thanks to the upgraded motor, boasted greater performance.
Chassis and transmission
The undercarriage is a welded structure that includes a front and rear beam, two pipes - left and right, as well as beams that connect them. For ease of installation of additional equipment, a frame with special holes is used. The T-16 transmission is standard for equipment of this kind. Gearbox manual with 7 gears. The shafts are located transversely relative to the tractor axis. Clutch - dry, friction, single plate and permanently closed.
T-16 wheels are of different sizes, which is why the tractor received a shifted center of gravity on the drive axle, which provides optimal grip on the road surface. To perform some specific tasks, it is possible to change the track width of both the front and rear axles. This will allow you to work, for example, in row-spacings, in greenhouses or gardening.
Repair
Despite the reliability and uninterrupted operation of the machine, sometimes the technical characteristics of the T-16 tractor may not correspond to those declared by the manufacturer. In this case, it is better to service the failed components and power units. Spare parts can be purchased directly from the factory that produced the T-16. Even after the model was discontinued, spare parts did not stop being produced. Thanks to the popularity of the T-16, parts are easy to find. The T-16 tractor, the photo of which is presented in the article, will not be left without duerepair and maintenance.
Where to buy?
Due to the fact that the model has not been produced for a long time, it is sometimes very problematic to purchase a T-16 in perfect technical condition. Already used ones can be found at sales and agricultural machinery forums. Can be found both in the classic version and with additional attachments.
Due to popularity and excellent performance, the cost of the T-16 is on average 25-30% more than other machines of the same class, for example, such as the T-25.
