The minitractor of the Russian Federation is a convenient and productive technique, both for a personal plot and for a small and medium-sized farm. With its help, it is possible to carry out a number of agricultural work, to clear the entrances to the house and other buildings from snow, to transport various goods, to pump out water from flooded basements. Thanks to such versatility, high productivity and reliability, this type of equipment has recently begun to crowd out the usual walk-behind tractors and motor-cultivators.

Advantages and disadvantages
Minitractors, which have an inscription in their passport that their country of manufacture is Russia, have both their advantages and disadvantages.
The main advantages of domestic technology are:
- Multifunctionality - due to the wide variety of power units used, this type of small-scale mechanization can be used to perform a large number of works: from traditional agricultural to utilities, construction and even transport and logistics;
- Ease of repair and maintenance - repair of simple Russian models, with the exception of cases falling under the warranty, can be performed by almost any owner who is familiar with motor vehicles;
- The presence of a large number of spare parts - if during the repair it becomes necessary to replace any unit, its purchase will not become a significant difficulty for the owner of the mini-tractor. At the moment, all manufacturers of this equipment have many service centers and stores where you can purchase or order the necessary spare parts at an affordable price. Therefore, even in a small town, such as Ulyanovsk, you can easily find a dealer or a center for the sale of spare parts from any domestic mini-tractor;
- A large selection of mounted and trailed units - in the modern market, for almost every small tractor assembled in Russia, you can find attachments of various prices, quality: mounted plow, mower, rotary cultivator (cutter), etc.
Among the few shortcomings, it should be noted:
- Poor assembly - very often a new and fairly cheap mini-tractor begins to break down often due to poor assembly of its engine or other components.
- Lack of power steering on powerful tractors - on some productive and powerful models, the usual mechanical type of steering is installed. At the same time, the lack of a hydraulic booster is felt when the equipment is turning, during its movement at low speed.
- Unreliable paintwork - paint peeling, bubbles and "bugs" that occur when paint is applied to unprepared metal surfaces of the frame, hood, lead to the development of corrosion on them with further formation (if no measures are taken) of holes.
Thus, typing in the search engine the query "mini tractor of the Russian Federation", you can find a wide variety of models of this technique, differing in their characteristics and cost. At the same time, some of the shortcomings of these means of small-scale mechanization are more than offset by their affordable, in comparison with more expensive imported mini tractors, price.
