In this article, we will learn about heavy construction equipment, which is deservedly called a "classic" of construction and earthworks, a legend of Soviet industry, namely, a T-170 bulldozer.
Description and modification of industrial tractor
Bulldozer brand T-170 - Soviet-made construction and industrial vehicle, which was created by upgrading the T-130 series tractor. On the basis of the T-170 produced approximately eighty of the most different variations. 
Now this tractor is made in a variety of trim levels and modifications. Each subsequent model, which is produced at the factory, is a more advanced version of the old model. Usually in such a modified technique one of several types of engines is installed. So, you can buy a car T-170 in which there is a motor of the type D-160, or already a more advanced engine D-180, whose capacity has been increased to 180 l / s. The power of the last power unit allows you to increase the efficiency of agricultural work. 
For more than a dozen years, the tractor model T-150 has remained the best assistant to the farmer. It is one of the most famous domestic tractors and comes in two versions: crawler and wheelbase.Let us dwell on the main modifications of this technique:
- For quick clearing of the site for construction or removal of the upper soil ball there is a modification with a straight blade.
- To effectively dig in the trenches, develop light soil or crushed stone, apply the technique with a rotary blade.
- Modification with a hemispherical blade will allow you to perform all the necessary work faster than with any other body kit. Such a bulldozer can easily perform work on a fragment of a pit or trench.
Important! All listed modifications can be additionally completed with mounted loosening equipment. This addition allows you to perform a wide range of the most diverse work.
Device Features
This technique has been produced for more than 25 years, but despite this, today the T-170 is in increasing demand from buyers. And this is not surprising, since the device combines reliability, comfort, easy maintainability, multifunctionality. If you have a difficult road construction or construction, the bulldozer brand T-170 is simply indispensable. 
The T-170 is equipped with a 300 liter fuel tank and a 160 or 180 hp engine that works with various types of fuel. Fuel consumption of the bulldozer brand T-170 is relatively small. The weight of the bulldozer T-170 is 15 tons.
Did you know? T-170 is produced at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant.T-170 is equipped with a frame cabin with a different modern design. It is installed on a special vibration-insulated platform. Increased visibility for the operator with a large glass area. Comfortable conditions in the cabin are provided with noise insulation. In the cabin there is insulation.
Did you know? The very first bulldozer brand T-170 was released in 1988 and from the very beginning of production has become a popular technique.For the car T-170, you can pick up different equipment that is hung on the bulldozer:
- Dumps with hydropower
- Rooting Up
- Single Tooth Looseners
- Shovels
- Trailer coupling
- Traction Winches
- Dumps straight or hemispherical
Technical specifications
The engine of the Soviet bulldozer brand T-170 is a four-stroke unit capable of operating on different fuels. For example, on diesel, kerosene or gas condensate. Thanks to this configuration, this motor can function even in the most severe weather conditions.
Important! Fuel, if you use the T-170, is consumed more economically, compared with analogues, and an additional advantage is the fuel tank with a volume of 300 liters.More detailed characteristics of this technique are given in the table:
How can a bulldozer be used in agriculture
This bulldozer can be used in agricultural work. Thanks to the T-170 tractor, plowing of the soil is easily performed (it can even be used for deep plowing of heavy soil), continuous cultivation, sowing of crops, husking, and the retention of snow in the winter and in the spring period is possible. 
Advantages and disadvantages of the application

- Motor Resource (ten thousand moto-hours)
- Ability to work with different types of fuel (kerosene, gas condensate, diesel fuel)
- Affordable price
- Versatility - used in:
- agricultural work;
- road works;
- forestry, in construction works;
- in industry;
- utilities;
- in the development of earthen quarries (clay, sand and gravel).
Disadvantages:
- A weak point is the clutch clutch
- Compared to Western machines, control is much more difficult.
- Comfortable position of the operator in the cab remained at the level of development
