The novelty is much quieter and has no vibration, unlike similar models. And also, a differential lock system appeared on the tractor - one of the most effective systems that increases the cross-country ability of wheeled vehicles.

Along with such countries as Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania, this technique appeared in some CIS countries, including Belarus. German developers took as a basis their most popular model - the T-150 mini-tractor, and reworked it to the ground. And, today, the T-180 mini tractor is considered the flagship model of Shtenli Group Construction Engineering.

Secondly, the T-180 mini tractor was equipped with an adjustable track system, which gives you the ability to maneuver in any area, work with any equipment, regardless of its size.

Thirdly, the T-180 is equipped with two hydraulics - rear and front. What's more, the rear hydraulics are floating, allowing you to raise and lower attachments weighing up to 300 kg. sitting on the tractor, and the bucket itself will more closely follow the relief of the ground. Also, the tractor is equipped with the newest and most accurate sensors for fixing pressure and temperature, which will allow you to closely monitor the state of equipment and add coolant in time. An 8-speed gearbox (6 forward / 2 reverse), will allow you to work in the most comfortable mode and on sections of any complexity, and a disc clutch will allow you to get under way more smoothly.

Using a wrench, tighten all bolted connections on the power unit, transmission and frame. Connect the headlamp to the generator.
Unscrew the spark plug, make sure the gap is set correctly. Wipe the contacts, screw the plug back in.
Pour oil into the crankcase, fill the fuel tank up to the maximum mark. After a few minutes, inspect the tanks for leaks.
