Belarus is a tractor brand that is manufactured by a number of different tractor factories that were formerly part of the Soviet Union.  Many were built by the tractor manufacturer MTZ, that was founded in Minsk located in the former USSR state called the 'Republic of Belarus,' that was part of Belarussia and now belongs to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).  Some other tractors have been manufactured by VTZ, Kirovets, and other manufacturers.

Reports show that 8% of the tractors in the world are supplied by Belarus.  

Belarus was founded in 1946 in Minsk by the former Soviet Union during its post-World War II rebuilding drive.  Its factory is one of the largest in the world and by 1995 had supplied over 3 million tractors.  Each year the Minsk factory manufactures 50,000 tractors.    

Originally MTZ tractors were designed for the USSR's extensive State-owned collective farms.  These collectives were located in Eastern Europe's most inhospitable areas extending over thousands of acres with very few spare parts or workshop tools available.  These tractors were built so that even novices could get their tractors working again by just following basic instructions.

The centrifugal Engine oil filter just needed to be washed out instead of replaced, the type of air filter used was washable oil bath, and the fuel and hydraulic filters were of washable design as well until the 1990s.  The tractors until recently had either a liquid or air-cooled engine.  The most common configuration was the 4-cylinder diesel, while the articulated and larger 6 cylinder models were available as well.  Depending on the specific model, various methods were used for starting the engine.  The most common for export models was the 24-volt electric starter motors and for use in locations that were less rural where it was easier to obtain replacement batteries.  In Eastern bloc countries, a petrol, kerosene or diesel 2-stroke starting engine was the most common since they were reliable to use in cold winters and since batteries were either unobtainable or expensive.  Different adaptions have been made to the tractor to help with starting them in cold weather, which includes having a lever for disconnecting the hydraulic pump.  A hydraulic cylinder operates the three-point hitch and is among the few tractor designs where "Down Pressure" is applied with a three-point hitch.       

Since the 1990s there have been extensive changes made to tractor design.  Since 1991 when the Soviet Union fell, MTZ-Belarus tractors have evolved to becoming more advanced and complex, mainly due to serious competition from Western-built imported tractors.  That has caused MTZ to have to compete for market share and modify its design accordingly.  MTZ in the past paid very little attention to operator comfort and cosmetic appearance. However, they have both become more important recently.  There is a basic tractor that is available still in certain markets.  Those models are very similar to tractors from the 1970s, with very few extras like power steering or much comfort.  There is still a market for this kind of tractor with Belarus still being the top choice for those buyers wanting a simple and basic machine.

When the Soviet Union first began exporting their tractors into other countries, the name of the exporting company came from the name of the territory where the main factory was located, so that is how the tractors became branded as Belarus. These tractors ranged from four-wheel drive tractors to crawlers (that had undercarriages that were based on tanks.  There was a broad range of various attachments that were available to be used with the tractors.  Therefore, front-end loaders, backhoes, and bulldozers were all based on the identical machine.           

Tractors made for the European market get certified according to ISO 9001 QA Standards.  The earlier versions were tested in the UK at Silso Institute.  Since the 1970s small numbers of these tractors have been imported to the UK.  The four-wheel-drive (front-assist) models are attractive to hill country farmers as a rugged simple tractor.
