This tractor was produced in two USSR tractor works - Volgograd (Stalingrad)in Russia and Pavlodar in Kazakhstan. In all was produced 2,520,000 tractors (DT-75 and DT-75M). So this machine is not Belarus from Minsk tractor works!

As Alokin said this crawler was produced at the Volgograd and the Pavlodar Tractor Works starting in 1962. I found some (vague) references that at least the DT-75M version was also made at the Belarus works and in Poland named Ciągnik and possibly linked to Ursus. Next to the two versions mentioned above I found the DT-75B and DT-75R, both using the old style cabin. Using this machine as a bulldozer is unusual, as it was ment to be an agricultural tractor. I found a reference of a DT-75R with an attached D-606 dozer blade (http://www.ddr-baumaschinen.de/planierraupen_auf_ddr_baustellen.htm), so this might be a good name to use. As make I would suggest Volgograd, as it is closest to Moscow, where this film was made. |
