On October 1 our Kharkiv Tractor Plant will celebrate the 90th anniversary of its existence: in 1931 our plant was officially launched, and the first tractor rolled off the assembly line. At the moment of its appearance, Kharkiv Tractor Plant started a technological revolution and became an industrial breakthrough for the first capital of Ukraine - Kharkiv. Today, when the business park of high technology "Ecopolis HTZ" grows around the plant, our plant again becomes the heart of a new industrial revolution, a platform for scientific, technological and industrial restart of Kharkiv. Each of us can be proud of belonging to our legendary enterprise! The plant has survived the war and postwar economic devastation of the last century. KhTP went through difficult times in its recent history and revived with the arrival of an investor in the person of Oleksandr Yaroslavsky's DCH group. Every time Kharkiv Tractor Plant, like the legendary bird Phoenix, is reborn renewed. The 90th anniversary of KhTP is also a merit of many of you! Congratulating you on the 90th anniversary of our KhTP, I express my sincere gratitude and admiration for your work and enthusiasm, your technological discoveries and your energy that create new generation of KhTP tractors and newest history of our legendary plant!

Kharkiv Tractor Plant (XTZ) increased its production volumes, profits, started updating its product line, as well as workshops and equipment. The company presented the improved equipment at several major exhibitions, and it was greatly assessed by both domestic and foreign farmers. Facts and figures The enterprise, which had a long off-period several years ago, not only restored its production, but is steadily building up the pace of development. See for yourself. In 2019, XTZ produced 585 units of equipment (an increase of 12% compared to the previous year) and sold 638 units (an increase of 16%). The company's revenue grew by 22% and amounted to almost UAH 800 million. Today, the company employs more than 1.100 people, and the average wages of a factory worker is UAH 10 thousand (at the beginning of last year the figure was UAH 7.8 thousand). Ukrainian farmers are still the main buyers of domestic tractors. Nevertheless, the company continues to develop markets in neighboring countries and beyond. Bulgaria, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Lithuania, Romania, New Zealand and Singapore all purchased the machinery produced by XTZ. What's new Domestic buyers are impressed by the practicality, reliability and efficiency of tractors produced by XTZ, that all have become traditional. The fact that the plant’s design office never ceases to offer new solutions to make tractors more convenient and modern also has its impact. For example, the updated model of the XTZ-181.22 track-type tractor, which was presented at the AGROEXPO-2019 international agricultural forum in Kropyvnytskyi, demonstrated significant structural and engineering updates: 645 mm wide rubber tracks were installed on the machine, as well as an extended track of 1680 mm, a reinforced frame and a mounted system. The updated tractor XTZ-150K-09.172.10, formerly known as T-150K, ​​which got a plastic facing (it provides freer access to the engine compartment), a reliable 180 horsepower engine, reinforced mounted and hydraulic systems, improved cabin, and which now also offers the opportunity to choose the size of the wheels and the ballasting system. XTZ-248K.20 received a new modern steering column, a new mounting system, a longer rear half frame and a new hydraulic system with two 190 liter pumps. Of course, not only agricultural machines were modernized. The company is now gradually renovating workshops, purchasing and testing new modern equipment. The plant has installed the new line of chemical-thermal treatment of metals produced by the world-famous company Ipsen (USA, Germany), which significantly improved the quality of heat treatment of spare parts, also, this year XTZ launched a new section of spare part processing line. For this, the enterprise purchased the equipment from Japan and Germany. A robotic 3D laser system for a more accurate metal processing was successfully tested, and will now replace the existing lines, and new band saws allowed the plant to switch from hot metal cutting. The use of new technological production lines, modern equipment, energy-saving technologies allowed the company to significantly reduce energy costs: electricity consumption was reduced by 20%, and gas consumption decreased by half. What's next Large-scale modernization, equipment replacement, technology updating, expansion of the product lines have been and will remain a strategic focus of the only agricultural machine-building enterprise in Ukraine. The plant expects to increase production by 10% compared to 2019, and increase revenue by 20%. ---- Now you can follow the developments on the legendary Kharkiv tractor plant (XTZ), read the latest news and participate in various promotions by subscribing to XTZ official page in Facebook and Youtube.

One example of modernization is creation of a new section for part processing. For this purpose, the enterprise purchased and commissioned the advanced equipment. With the new machinery parts are processed using software, which significantly increases the overall productivity and quality. “New progressive technology used in developed countries will allow us to replace obsolete equipment previously used in production, which has a high degree of deterioration, with highly productive and accurate equipment. We are trying to keep up to date with the technical progress and for this we are studying the experience of other countries and are trying to apply us it at XTZ,” says Vladyslav Sopit, project manager for the modernization of XTZ plant. And this is just one example demonstrating the scale of the modernization tasks set by XTZ. The enterprise also undergoes reconstruction of production shops, as well as engineering structures, purchases new equipment and continues to optimize the structure of production. Earlier XTZ introduced a line of equipment used for chemical-thermal treatment of metals, which significantly improved the quality of heat treatment of parts. It should be noted that the plant continues to implement the strategic modernization program of the leading national tractor manufacturer. DCH investments in the modernization of XTZ are expected to amount UAH 230 million.

Kharkiv manufacturer’s new products include the updated crawler tractor XTZ-181.20-07. The machine was significantly upgraded in terms of its undercarriage system structure and engineering, and was equipped with 645-mm-wide rubber-cable tracks, an extended track of 1680 mm, a reinforced frame and an attached system used on serial wheel tractors produced by XTZ. Designers note that such tractors are unique, since the use of a track-type, unlike wheels, allows keeping the soil undamaged as much as possible. This is achieved by reducing the specific pressure on the soil and eliminating slipping due to the increased contact area of the tracks with the surface and the equal weight distribution. ‘Having a track-type tractors track provides significantly more possibilities for operating such tractors, particularly, allows using public roads,’ says Sergiy Bulava, chief engineer for agricultural technologies of XTZ Trading House. The upgraded XTZ-150K-09.172.10 tractor, formerly known as T-150K, which now has a new lining and a 180 horsepower engine, as well as XTZ-248K.20, will also be presented at the exhibition in Kropyvnytskyi - it received a new modern steering system, updated cabin interior, a longer rear half frame, a new hydraulic system with two 190-liter pumps, as well as an updated attachment system.

Ternopil computer developer Yaroslav Tsiganko created a whole range of add-ons (‘mods’) for the simulator, including almost the entire line of XTZ equipment. “My love for enginery goes back to childhood and being raised by a grandfather. He told me about tractors and machinery in general. The decision to include XTZ equipment was probably a rather patriotic one. Although you can call it a love at first sight. I just saw a tractor, and I liked it. It's hard to explain. I like the technique - I add it to the game,” shared Yaroslav. The author of the mods emphasized that this game, or rather a series of games, is the most popular in the agricultural work simulator segment, and currently represents a testing ground for demonstrating agricultural equipment, its basic operating principles and capabilities. “There have already been cases when the head of the farm, having seen the mods, became interested in the machine in real life, and later bought it,” the computer developer noted. Read the full interview on the official page XTZ on Facebook Thu, 30 May 2019 13:08:40 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/traktoryi-htz-pokoryayut-virtualnyiy-mir.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/24.html Kharkiv Tractor Plant produced an improved version of the two-loop continuously variable hydrostatic transmission (GOMT-2S, rus ГОМТ-2С) (the first version of the ГОМТ-1S transmission was manufactured in 2014 and was field tested). This unit is designed to replace the obsolete gearbox transmission in the serial models and is the Plant's joint invention with the National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute", with which the company has signed the Memorandum of Strategic Partnership in September 2017. GOMT-2S has an improved design, four technological traction and speed ranges for driving forward and two - for driving backward, tractor's speed and traction force are steplessly regulated at each mode. The functionally updated unit allows increasing the efficiency of tractor's main technological operations (plowing, disking, harrowing, cultivation, seeding, transportation of the trailer, etc.), thus ensuring the tractor's effective operation with optimum engine performance. "GOMT-2S – is an own product, which was first developed in the post-Soviet space. Its use significantly improves the consumer qualities of tractors manufactured by XTZ, reduces the fatigue of the tractor driver, increases the reliability of the engine and the ergonomic performance of the machine as a whole", - said the chief engineer of the project of the development and implementation of GOMT-2S, Petro Polishchuk. It's worth noting that 6 new transmissions were manufactured and installed on serial wheeled tractors in a short time at Kharkiv Tractor Plank, one of those machines is being prepared for shipment to Bulgaria. Kharkiv Tractor Plant presented the renewed XTZ-243K.20 tractor at the largest agro-industrial exhibition AgroExpo-2017 in Ukraine, according to experts, the machine has demonstrated the best technical characteristics. At the beginning of 2018, XTZ published a video showing the process of assembling a new Ukrainian wheeled tractor on the conveyor belt, as well as features of the hinged system of updated wheeled tractors. As you know, Kharkiv Tractor Plant dates back to 1930, this is one of the largest machine building enterprises in Ukraine. Thanks to the long-term exporting practice, the trade mark XTZ is now one of the most recognized Ukrainian brands abroad. The company's strategy is currently focused on restoring market positions both in the domestic and foreign markets. The owner and investor of XTZ Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy and his DCH group, have already implemented a number of successful projects for the revival of industrial enterprises.

At present, a line of thermochemical treatment of metals, replacing the existing non-muffle unit, has been put into operation. This has significantly improved the quality of thermochemical treatment of parts. “A new equipment has been installed at the XTZ plant, and now it is being set up. This includes the line for thermochemical treatment of metals from the world famous company Ipsen. This is a specialized equipment manufactured in the USA and made in Germany. The line is an automated complex of equipment controlled remotely via a computer. At this stage, plant employees are being trained to operate the line in semi-automatic mode simultaneously with the production process. After completion of the training, the line will be switched to the automatic mode of operation,” said Vladyslav Sopit, project manager for modernization at Kharkiv Tractor Plant. The advantages of the new line cover both the better quality of the parts processed and also make energy consumption more efficient, reducing it by several times. Moreover, XTZ has already installed and is testing a robotic 3D laser machine for precision metal treatment, which will replace the existing lines for the machine treatment of body and frame parts. The new unit will also reduce the manpower input and reduce energy costs. New band sawing machines also function in the automatic mode, which allowed the plant to abandon the hot cutting of metal, and centers needed for transferring mechanical processing of parts from the old equipment to the new more advanced technologies are also expected soon. The plant continues the implementation of the first stage of a two-year strategic modernization program for the leading national tractor manufacturer. The volume of DCH investments in the modernization of XTZ will be about UAH 230 million.

Equipment produced by XTZ may be enhanced by various modern engines of different power and environmental standards at the request of the consumer. - XTZ engineers are constantly working to improve this series of tractors. This hard work cannot be captured in just one video clip, but its results are clearly visible during operation. Due to the high degree of localization of tractors of the XTZ-240 series, ranging from 70% to 85%, XTZ supports the Ukrainian industry as a whole, - the company noted. It should be noted that this is the second video released by Kharkiv Tractor Plant lately. Not so long ago, XTZ demonstrated on its Youtube channel a video that is dedicated to one of the latest innovations released at the enterprise - ХТЗ-181.20 track-type tractor.   Sun, 20 Jan 2019 19:03:59 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/kolesnyie-traktora-htz-240-serii-video.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/43.html At the request of the EU Delegation in Ukraine, the Kharkiv Tractor Plant, belonging to the DCH Group owned by the Ukrainian businessman Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy, hosted a delegation of European diplomats and advisers to the embassies of the EU member states in Ukraine. The plant was visited by representatives of 24 diplomatic missions of EU member states including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Holland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain , Sweden, as well as representatives of the EU advisory mission in Ukraine. XTZ managers and representatives of the DCH Group held a meeting in the format of an introductory tour. “We have demonstrated the delegation of diplomats, political advisers of the embassies of the EU member states in Ukraine that the Kharkiv Tractor Plant is developing quite dynamically. We showed them new machines, in particular those equipped with European engines. Our shareholder, Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy, is a native Kharkiv citizen. Therefore, he invests in many projects that are low-income, but very important for the development of the Kharkiv region: the airport, the hotel. He sets a task of reviving the tractor plant, and Mr. Koval and his team must complete this task and make XTZ a modern and profitable enterprise, which he successfully does,” said Kostiantyn Petrovskyi, member of the DCH board of directors and chairman of the XTZ supervisory board. During the tour of XTZ representatives of diplomatic missions of EU member states asked representatives of the plant about entering the markets of other countries, the depth of localization of production at the plant, engine performance and competitive advantages of machines produced by XTZ compared to imported counterparts. XTZ General Director Andriy Koval told the guests about the plans of his team for the development of the plant, introduced the modernization program of the production equipment of the tractor plant, as well as the capabilities of the equipment updated in recent years, which is now coming off the assembly line. “This is one of the largest enterprises in the Kharkiv region, moreover, one of the few enterprises of the engineering sector. The diplomats saw that the enterprise was working, the workers were in their places. For us, this meeting is interesting in terms of strategy: we export products. But the problem that holds us back is the compliance of our product with European certification requirements. The rest of the modernization is going according to plan, as part of the reconstruction of a number of workshops, a 3D laser was installed, we are currently buying machining centers, and there is a gradual adaptation. If you’d seen the products we were selling 2 years ago and compare them to those we are selling now, you could see that all the goals are quite achievable,” - said Andriy Koval. “We came here not only because the Kharkiv Tractor Plant has great historical significance. It is also an enterprise that has all the potential for development and subsequent introduction to the European markets,” said Fabio Della Piazza, Advisor to the EU Delegation in Ukraine, describing the purpose of the visit of European diplomats to XTZ. Kharkiv Tractor Plant is a legendary Ukrainian machine-building enterprise, which has started its story in 1930. XTZ was acquired by businessman Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy’s DCH Group in 2016. By the time of the change of ownership, the plant was in a state of protracted crisis. However, thanks to Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy’s activeness and investments, the enterprise was able to resume work, pay overdue wages to employees, and restore profitable activities. By the end of 2017, the plant produced 794 units of equipment, and by the end of 2018 it is planning to produce more than 800 tractors. Thu, 06 Dec 2018 15:32:42 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/43.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/42.html Kharkiv Tractor Plant, owned by businessman Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy, posted a video  on its YouTube channel which is dedicated to one of the latest products released at the enterprise - the XTZ-181.20 track-type tractor. The video demonstrated the work of the machine in conjunction with modern agricultural equipment, and the main message of the film was that the use of a tracked assembly significantly reduces the specific pressure, there is no skidding, which allows to keep the soil unharmed. The authors draw attention to the high traction performance of the tractor, as well as demonstrate data on profitability during operations: when using a DL-6 Sloboda disc plow, the fuel consumption is only 3.5-4 liters per hectare, and with a Kronos 3+ disk harrow - 9 liters, while the productivity of the machine-tractor unit is 7.5 hectares per hour using the first attachment and 4.0 hectares per hour using the second one. Due to the increased performance of the hydraulic, as well as the updated mounted systems, the XTZ-181.20 can work with any agricultural implements, while performing key operations such as: tillage, seeding and transportation. And one of the main advantages to its competitors is the low cost of maintenance of the tractor. As previously reported, one of the new products presented by XTZ is the XTZ-248K.20 serial wheel tractor, equipped with the engine of the well-known global manufacturer FPT-Iveco N67.

DCH group president, the owner of the enterprise Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy told this to journalists. - The current plan has been completed. At the moment about 500 tractors have been produced, and we will work to fulfill the production plan for the year, - said Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy. The owner of KhTZ noted that after a ten-month standstill the company is actively working to recover sales markets. - We are working on getting those back. During the year, all markets were lost by 100%. Import analogues have come to Ukraine, - Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy reported. In addition to production of machinery, the company emphasizes the importance of producing spare parts, since many low-quality counterfeit products have appeared on the market during the standstill. According to the general director of KhTZ, Andriy Koval, from the beginning of the year, spare parts worth UAH 34 million were produced. Info. Kharkiv Tractor Plant was founded in 1930 and is one of the largest machine-building enterprises of Ukraine. Thanks to the long-term practice of exporting products, the trademark "KhTZ" is one of the most recognizable Ukrainian brands abroad. The company's strategy is currently focused on restoring market positions on both the domestic and foreign markets. KhTZ’ owner and investor Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy and his DCH group has already implemented several successful projects for the revival of industrial enterprises, and has invested more than $1 billion in investment projects in Kharkiv region (including $300 million for the preparation of Kharkiv infrastructure for Euro 2012: construction of the airport, the city’s first 5* hotel and related facilities). Mon, 10 Jul 2017 16:18:02 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/6.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/41.html Specialists of the Kharkiv Tractor Plant (XTZ) introduce innovations, win back market positions lost in previous years and prepare for the launch of a large-scale enterprise modernization project. The owner of the company, the founder of the DCH Group - Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy told this yesterday at a meeting with journalists. Media representatives were given the opportunity to ask questions about the development of XTZ directly to its owner and investor, and also could learn about the work of the plant revived by him. “Our main market is Ukraine. To a lesser extent - foreign markets. Given the fact that the market positions have been lost, we have to recover those. But this process will take a certain time. We are no strangers to hard work. The enterprise is interesting, XTZ is the leader of the Ukrainian engineering industry and it will not be left unattended,” - the businessman told to reporters. The medium-term program for the development of the company which is currently being implemented provides for an investment from the DCH Group in the amount of about UAH 230 million. “We focused on the modernization of tractors. There are almost more than 200 innovations in the model. The model has qualitatively changed: externally and internally. Therefore, the tractor has become more competitive,” - explained Yaroslavskyy. He said that about 800 new machines would come off the assembly line this year, approximately the same number of tractors is planned for next year: the plant does not produce tractors to be stored in the warehouse, but manufactures products in accordance with the order book. “We are finishing this year, and we are setting the same goals for at least the next one,” said Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy, “Given all the circumstances that we have today, we will have to work more and more productively. Every year, every time I have difficulties and problems with XTZ. Before it was an obstacle race, now swimming in a pool without water. But the more interesting - the more fun. I have responsibility for the team, the team must have a salary, and I find solutions.” A new stage in the development of the Kharkov Tractor Plant will be the creation of a modern multi-functional ecosystem for business on its basis. It will include a powerful industrial park, a complex with a scientific, technological and technical bases for the implementation of innovative projects (technopark), as well as other facilities, including logistics, educational and research centers. Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy actively attracts Kharkiv students and scientists to the project implementation. The businessman traditionally and systematically supports many universities in his native city, including the Kharkiv National Karazina University, National University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute", Kharkiv National University of Municipal Economy. The students of the Kharkiv State University of Food and Commerce, the businessman’s “alma mater”, expressed their willingness to take part in the revival of XTZ. “We are currently planning a big project for the reconstruction of the XTZ. I think that this will be an investment of about 2-3 billion dollars. We started yesterday, and we will continue for years to come. It will be very interesting from the point of view of professional use. I always like projects that keep me in good shape,” - said Yaroslavskyy at an event at the University. Wed, 14 Nov 2018 13:48:51 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/41.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/5.html To increase production, while maintaining the main advantages of Kharkiv tractors - price accessibility, efficiency, reliability, - is the strategic plan for development of Kharkiv Tractor Plant. This was stated by the general director of the company Andriy Koval. According to him, in May plant workers broke the last decade’s record on spare parts production. "KhTZ manufactured 14 million hryvnia worth of those. This is also the volume of gross output, the volume of sales, and it is closely tied to wages", - the general director says. The plant considers the production of spare parts as important as production of agricultural machinery: during the down time at KhTZ many low-quality counterfeit products appeared on the market. And this first of all affects the villagers. KhTZ had different times. But Kharkiv tractor’s main feature thanks to which Ukrainian farmers still prefer the tractor manufactured by KhTZ to Chinese analogs, has not changed. The enterprise believes the machine should be easy-to-use, modern, reliable, and its repair (if necessary) should not require significant expenses and should not create problems for farmers. At the enterprise they say: there is no such technique that does not require constant improvement. After hearing consumers’ opinion, developers try to make the tractor more comfortable and to make service even more affordable. According to the Governor of Kharkiv region Yulia Svitlychna, Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy plans to put significant funds into modernization of the enterprise. And first of all, it will be used for updating the machine tool park, outdated equipment. It will be replaced by a multi-operation one, but this requires time and, frankly, significant financial infusion. After the modernization of equipment, the process of improving the tractors will go much faster. "On the one hand, the newly-adopted bill prescribing to compensate KhTZ buyers with 20% of the equipment value will significantly increase tractor sales on Ukrainian market. And on the other hand, investments in modernization will reduce the overhead costs for the production of machines", - says Andriy Koval. It’s no secret: the plant is waiting for production optimization, as well as personnel reorganization. The enterprise expects the youth. They promise a competitive salary, they hope that graduates of technical institutions who come for internship stay at the plant. Today KhTZ cooperates with specialized universities of the city in terms of training specialists. Vechirniy Kharkiv newspaper from 06/27/2012 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 08:44:25 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/5.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/4.html Today, the chairman of the Kharkiv regional state administration Yulia Svitlychna visited Kharkiv Tractor Plant, which is confidently restoring production volumes after last year's downtime. The governor noted that Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy, Kharkiv Tractor Plant’s owner and investor fulfilled all the obligations to KhTZ. "Thanks to the support of the President of Ukraine and the investor, we were able to put the legendary KhTZ plant to work, and we can say that there are orders, there will be work, and we are looking into a successful future". As for today, all the investor's obligations that he gave to KhTZ are fulfilled. Thanks to the work done by the investor and the management of the plant, thanks to the work of all who put their souls into the production of tractors, we will eventually be able to fulfill any plan", said Ms. Svitlychna in her speech to the work team and media representatives. Kharkiv governor was introduced to the work processes at the enterprise, communicated with the plant workers and awarded the leading employees with the certificates. The general director of the KhTZ plant Andriy Koval stressed that this May the plant has cut the last decades’ record for producing the spare parts. "KhTZ manufactured 14 million hryvnia worth of those. This is also the volume of gross output, the volume of sales, and it is closely tied to wages", - he said. Koval also spoke about the company's current strategy. "Our actions are aimed at increasing internal efficiency and at optimizing business processes. We are covering all areas, but we see the source of potential wages increase in selling more and making manufacturing cheaper". On the one hand, the newly-adopted bill prescribing to compensate KhTZ buyers with 20% of the equipment value will significantly increase tractor sales on Ukrainian market. And on the other hand, investments in modernization will reduce the overhead costs for the production of machines," - said KhTZ’s general director.

The corresponding procedure for compensation was introduced by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade in a law No. 566 from April 13, 2017 "On approval of the Regulations on the Commission for the Formation of the List of Domestic machinery and Equipment for the Agro-Industrial Complex, the value of which is partly compensated by the state budget". "According to the state program for the development of domestic agricultural machinery, after purchasing a tractor manufactured in Ukraine, agrarians will receive a 20% return from the state budget. The production is localized in Ukraine because of the fact that the main production processes are performed on the territory of our country, and the spare parts for the final product are mainly domestic. This is an effective mechanism that simultaneously promotes the development of several sectors of the agro-industrial complex - agricultural production and profile mechanic engineering", - explained Andriy Koval, KhTZ general director. At the beginning of this year, Aleksander Yaroslavskyy, the owner of the DCH group and of Kharkiv Tractor Plant, announced about the initiative of similar content developed by plant specialists. As you know, on May 31, 2017, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade (MEDT) approved a list of 40 domestic enterprises, the cost of which will be partly compensated by the state budget. The volume of funding for this program for 2017 will be about UAH 550 million. Info. Kharkiv Tractor Plant dates back to 1930, this is one of the largest machine building enterprises in Ukraine.

XTZ proposed to install compressed loads in a wheel disk niche, as well as to place them on the rear half-frame in the inter-wheel space.   The photo above shows composing loads with different weights, which start from 55 and reach 75 kg. Thus, the farmer can choose the optimal weight for performing a particular operation. The second version of the ballast weight with a total weight of 1100 kg was put by the designers to the back of the half-frame into the inter-wheel space - it has a form of composing parts. - Such a design solution is optimal for loading both the rear and front ends of the tractor. This allows to perform energy-intensive traction work (for example, plowing), significantly reduces the slippage, and also reduces fuel consumption and increases the traction characteristics of the tractor, - XTZ commented on the innovations. Moreover, the Kharkiv Tractor Plant presented the upgraded tracked tractor XTZ-181.20 (which received an updated lining, a new hydraulic system of 130 liters and a six-piece torsion-balancer suspension), as well as a wheel tractor XTZ-243K.20 with twin wheels and XTZ-248K. 20 with the engine from FPT-Iveco.

This event is considered to be one of the largest in Ukraine - over 600 companies took part in it in 2018, 100 of them were domestic producers. AgroExpo gathers many representatives of mechanical engineering or companies related to this industry. And, of course, the main purpose of holding such exhibitions is that Ukrainian and world manufacturers present their innovations and their work at demonstration shows in the field. XTZ – the legendary and the only in the former CIS manufacturer of both wheeled and tracked tractors –managed to not only increase the number of produced machinery, while drastically improving the quality, in a little more than a year of work after forced downtime, but also surprised those present with their new products. One of those was XTZ-248K.20 series wheel tractor equipped with the engine of the well-known global manufacturer FPT-Iveco N67. This power unit is a six-cylinder, 6.7-liter turbo diesel with a CommonRail system (the fuel is constantly under high pressure in the fuel line common for all injectors). Compared to the engines currently installed on the XTZ, the new engine from FPT-Iveco has a better fuel efficiency (from 10 to 15%), in addition, these models are the best in their class in terms of maintenance intervals - the oil should be changed every 600 hours. At the same time, the plant notes that the choice of fuel plays an important role - the engine will not work on a diesel fuel of poor quality. In addition to the power unit, XTZ serial model had a number of upgrades, such as: an upgraded 12/4 gearbox with an improved oil purification system, where a new filter with an extended service life (up to 500 hours) is used. The bypass valve and the filling neck were also brought to an accessible place, and the modified hydraulic and mounted systems allow to use a tractor with high-speed domestic and foreign agricultural equipment. It should be noted that earlier the inside of the cabin has undergone major changes: the sprung seat can now be adjusted to the driver's weight, the steering column is also regulated. To improve the cabin soundproofing, the pedal layout has been changed. There is also a sun blind and air conditioning. The layout of the controls for attached equipment was revised, the brake crane was improved. The additional equipment presented by XTZ - the ballast weight (which can be ordered together with a tractor as an option) proved to be of a great interest among the exhibition visitors. One version of its installation was the rear frame in the cross-wheel space, and the second one - as type-setting parts - in a wheel disk niche. But this wasn’t the only newcomer XTZ presented. A tracked tractor XTZ-181.20 was brought from Kharkiv for the demonstration, it also received a number of upgrades. Specialists of the plant installed a six-piece torsion-balanced suspension, which allowed working in the field after heavy rainfall without any difficulties. By the way, this is the only tracked tractor from more than a dozen machines, which took part in a demonstration in cooperation with agricultural equipment at AgroExpo. XTZ also didn’t forget about soil preservation, because the use of a track-type propeller significantly reduces the specific pressure, and in this case there is no slipping. Due to the greater performance of the hydraulic system (increased to 130 liters), the tractor can work with modern sowing complexes, both domestic and imported. Specially designed ergonomic design in combination with the new lining allows to increase the working area of visibility, and the air-conditioner installed in the cabin creates a comfortable microclimate, which reduces fatigue and improves the operator's efficiency. Experts note that the return of the upgraded tracked tractor to the Ukrainian market will have a positive effect, and in the near future the plant will receive orders for those. Nevertheless, the designers still have to work on the propulsion options in order to offer buyers rubber tracks, as well. Representatives of LLC TD XTZ note that the main advantage is the low price of the tractor, as well as the low cost of its maintenance. And if we add to this the state compensation program, which assumes covering from 25 to 40% of the cost, then the equipment of the Kharkiv Tractor Plant becomes even more accessible for domestic agricultural enterprises and farms. Thu, 04 Oct 2018 06:37:20 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/38.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/35.html On July 26 Krasnopavlivka village of Lozova district of Kharkiv region hosted a large-scale event (in the agricultural sector of southeastern Ukraine) - IV International Field Day LOZOVA MACHINERY. Kharkiv tractor plant was represented by the serial models XTZ-242K.20 and XTZ-243K.20. As before, the enterprise focused on working with wheeled tractors supplemented by the leading agricultural tools of Ukrainian production - the sowing complex Zlatnik - 6500, which was designed for soil preparation and sowing, as well as the deep digger Frank 2.5, deeply cultivating the soil while maintaining its organic composition. - XTZ tractors aroused great interest among the visitors, who after the demonstration could take a look on the equipment and ask plant representatives any questions. In particular, there were a lot of questions concerning the state compensation program, which makes it possible to save considerably when buying equipment produced in Ukraine, - said Sergiy Bulava, the leading manager of XTZ Trading House. XTZ actively participates in demonstration shows, working in tandem with leading Ukrainian and world agricultural implements. Not so long ago, a tractor was tested in cooperation with a sowing complex Turbosem. It should be noted that in September XTZ will participate in one of the largest international agro-industrial exhibitions in Ukraine - AGROEXPO-2018. At the event, the tractor plant will be presented with the serial model XTZ-243K.20. Also, a demonstration show of both Track-type and wheeled tractors produced by XTZ will be held at a special testing field. Fri, 27 Jul 2018 09:40:50 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/35.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/34.html Kharkiv Tractor Plant continues testing its products using modern agricultural tools produced by leading Ukrainian and world enterprises. This test was conducted on the fields of Agro-Soyuz holding company. There the serial model of the XTZ-243K.20 tractor worked with the sowing complex "Turbosem". This is a pneumatic universal unit for direct seeding, which is equipped with a mono-disc coulter that accurately replicates the soil relief. - Representatives of the plant together with colleagues from Agro- Soyuz conducted tests of XTZ-243K.20 attaching the sowing complex Turbosem. Both we and the unit manufacturers were satisfied with the results, which once again proved the effectiveness of XTZ tractor in cooperation with leading agricultural attachments, - said the commercial director of XTZ Trading House in Ukraine Golovach Yuriy. Both machines have similar purpose, which is minimizing pressure on the soil surface with maximum efficiency, thus preserving the organic part of the soil (its "immune system"). This is achieved through using double wheels and ballast weight, which allows to realize the maximum tractive effort that a 240-250 hp tractor engine is capable of producing. In this case, the pressure on the soil is much less intense than that of a single-wheeled tractor without ballast weight. As for the seeding complex, the disc coulter makes the minimum V-shaped cut, the special pressing device places the seeds in the soil, and the seeding wheels that close the rigs complete the sowing process. When purchasing XTZ machinery and the seeding complex "Turbosem", Ukrainian farmers can receive partial compensation for the cost of products. Read about details here – compensation procedure 25% and compensation procedure 40%.

According to XTZ management, thanks to the arrival of a new investor - Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy's DCH group - the enterprise operates stably and develops at a planned pace. "After the forced downtime in 2016, production was restored in the shortest term. In February 2017, the first tractor came off the assembly line, and by the end of the year 794 units of machinery were produced," the plant reports.  The company's products are sold both in Ukraine and abroad: in Moldova, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Poland, New Zealand, Belarus, etc. The search for new markets continues. The enterprise says, that renewal of the equipment park and the modernization of production facilities will be the key goal for 2018-2019. Investor - Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy – has allocated more than UAH 300 million for this purpose. At the same time, XTZ General Director Andriy Koval notes that this year the plant will be focusing on improving the manufactured products according to consumers' preferences. "The production capacity ranges from 80 to 150 tractors per month, the peak capacity of the plant makes it possible to produce up to 180 machines per month, and the plant is planning to produce more than 800 tractors in 2018. At present the enterprise has already formed a portfolio of orders, implying the sale of about 300 tractors in the domestic and more than 500 tractors in foreign markets," the plant's management notes. The company participates in the state program, according to which the domestic agricultural enterprises will be compensated for 25-40% of the cost of tractors produced by XTZ starting from February 2018. Earlier, compensation was 20%, in this program the plant sold 87 tractors for a total of UAH 127.7 million in the second half of 2017. As it was informed earlier, the largest machine-building enterprise, starting its history in 1930, was acquired by Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy in 2016. At that time the plant was going through a long crisis, but thanks to the activity and investments of the businessman, the enterprise was able to resume its work. After the machine-building giant, the beneficiary of the DCH group acquired a number of other industrial assets. The total amount of investments made by the businessman in projects of various industry affiliations in Kharkiv region alone exceeded $ 1 billion (including $ 300 million in Kharkiv's preparation for Euro 2012). Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy is one of TOP-10 Ukrainian entrepreneurs according to Forbes.

Sincerely, the staff of the Kharkiv Tractor Plant. Fri, 29 Dec 2017 13:36:18 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/20.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/19.html Kharkiv tractor plant has prepared, adjusted and launched a special laser complex designed for marking spare parts and parts that are manufactured at the enterprise. This complex uses a non-contact application to produce a clear, practically non-destructible image on metal products, their alloys, and other materials used in production. The applied information also contains additional security elements, which will prevent the possibility of counterfeiting, even if similar equipment is used. - We have to admit that recently a large number of counterfeit products appeared on the market, which not only hits the consumer's pocket, but also affects the image of our plant. Spare parts for tractors were produced and sold under the XTZ brand, and their quality was very poor. The system that we have introduced in our company will help to protect the manufactured products from forgery and provide the end customer with a quality product, - said Andriy Koval, General Director of the Kharkov Tractor Plant. Also, in October-November 2017, specialists of the Kharkiv Tractor Plant together with scientists from the Kharkiv National Technical University tested the traction characteristics of tractors, revealing that the use of ballast weight and doubled wheels increases the efficiency of the tractor during the agricultural operations by 20%, and also allows to significantly expand the range of agricultural equipment modularized with tractors XTZ-242K, 243K.20 and 280T. Wed, 27 Dec 2017 13:49:29 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/19.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/18.html For a month specialists from Kharkiv Tractor Plant together with scientists from Kharkiv National Technical University have been conducting a study on traction characteristics of the following tractors: XTZ-242K (with engine capacity of 240 hp), XTZ-243K (with a 250 hp engine) using ballast weight and a system of doubled wheels, as well as of a four-link crawler tractor XTZ-280T (with engine capacity of 220 hp). In the course of the study, the scientists measured tractive effort on the hook of the tractor, depending on the following variables: - load (varied depending on the depth of the plow); - ballast weight; - doubled wheels. As a result of the analysis of the obtained data*, the following was established: - the use of doubled wheels allows to increase the tractive effort without exceeding the permissible slippage (15% in accordance with state standards GOST 27021-86) by almost 70% (42 kN instead of 25 kN); - the use of ballast weight allows to increase the tractive effort without exceeding the permissible slippage (15% in accordance with state standards GOST 27021-86) by more than 80% (46 kN instead of 25 kN); - the use of ballast weight combined with doubled wheels allows to increase the tractive effort without exceeding the permissible slippage (15% in accordance with state standards GOST 27021-86) by more than 2.5 times (66 kN instead of 25 kN); - XTZ-280T has demonstrated tractive effort without exceeding the permissible slippage (5% in accordance with state standards GOST 27021-86) more than 3 times (80 kN instead of 25 kN) on the ground with high humidity (20%). Thus, the use of ballast weight and of doubled wheels increases tractor's efficiency during agricultural works by 20%, and also significantly widens the range of agricultural equipment modularized with tractors XTZ-242K, 243K.20 and 280T. *Note: calculations were carried out according to data that were obtained empirically using wheel speed sensors, three-dimensional acceleration sensors and other inertial-measuring devices, as well as a track control system using GPS navigation. The slippage coefficient was also calculated for all modes during the study. Mon, 18 Dec 2017 10:43:54 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/18.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/16.html Kharkiv tractor plant together with Kharkiv National Technical University named after Vasylenko, as well as with Kremenchug Wheel Plant held a three-week test of the traction characteristics of wheeled tractors with 240 and a new 250-horsepower engines, of the new wheel doubling system, as well as of a ballasting system. XTZ-280 tractor with four tracks instead of wheels was tested, as well. It was determined that the use of doubled wheels together with ballast weight allows applying maximum tractive effort, which a tractor engine with a power of 240-250 hp is capable of. At the same time, the pressure on the soil is less than that of a single-wheeled tractor without ballast weight. This allows retaining the organic part of the soil (its "immune system") as much as possible. Increased traction will improve the tractor`s productivity, using modern agricultural tools. This, in turn, reduces the specific fuel consumption per unit of processed area due to the eliminating the slipping of the wheels. - This is not the end of our work. At the next stage, we will hold tractor`s resource tests before the first major repair, - says Viktor Pivovar, KhTZ technical director. At the "AgroExpo-2017" exhibition Kharkiv tractor plant presented the updated XTZ-243K.20 tractor, which was significantly updated and showed high results when working with agricultural attachments of domestic and foreign production during demonstration. Wed, 08 Nov 2017 07:31:00 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/16.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/15.html Today the chairman of Poltava Regional State Administration Valeriy Golovko and more than 40 farmers of the region visited Kharkiv Tractor Plant, which, thanks to the efforts of the owner and the investor Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy (the owner and the president of the DCH group), has been successfully restoring its market positions after a long period of the down time. "Today, together with more than 40 farmers of Poltava region, we arrived at the Kharkiv Tractor Plant for a number of reasons. The first is to demonstrate to our people the analogues of the imported equipment. We see how many changes in product improvement the enterprise has undergone lately. The units were replaced and the cabin was improved for the tractor operator`s comfort. The second is the communication of the agrarians with the constructors, the management of the plant. Our representatives were able to learn about development trends, ask questions and share their views on the operation of the machinery. There is the state program, in which Ukrainian agrarians purchasing domestic machinery will be reimbursed for part of its cost, and in fact the cost of the tractor will be 4-5 times lower than of the imported analog," - said the governor of Poltava region Valeriy Golovko. Representatives of Poltava region had a tour of the plant, during which all present could ask questions to both the plant management and workers in the shops. "First of all, I want to thank the governor of Poltava region who brought farmers, heads of farms who buy and operate the machinery rather than officials. Thanks to this visit, we can hear the opinion of our customers, who know exactly what parameters of the tractor they need for work. After all, our main task is to make a good-quality product that will be reliable, functional and, most importantly, affordable," - said the general director of the KhTZ plant, Andriy Koval. During the meeting, the parties agreed on a joint demonstration of KhTZ machinery in Poltava region next year. At the event, it is also planned to use the machinery together with various agricultural equipment of both domestic and foreign production. Thu, 02 Nov 2017 12:48:00 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/15.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/14.html This agreement is a continuation of the joint work under the previously approved Memorandum on the strategic partnership between the Kharkiv Tractor Plant and the National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute", which was signed on September, 22 by the owner and the president of the DCH group Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy and the NTU "KhPI" rector Yevgen Sokol. Today, on October 27, during the signing, PJSC KhTZ General Director Andriy Koval noted that the dual training will allow students to see the practical side of working on a plant together with the theoretical knowledge in order to obtain the necessary experience that will help them in the future. - Together with the university, we`ve developed a set of activities to train future specialists. The training will be held both within the university and in the plant. We are ready to share our experience, and we are waiting for new ideas from young specialists, - Andriy Koval said. In turn, the rector of NTU "KhPI" Yefgen Sokol said that this agreement is very important for the university, since it determines the quality of training of specialists that are in demand now, and thus the university makes its contribution to the development of a tractor plant, and the economy of Ukraine as a whole. Info. The dual agreement in the field of mechanical engineering is used in Ukraine for the first time. As part of the training NTU "KhPI" and PJSC "KhTZ" shall create the conditions for obtaining theoretical and practical knowledge. All the trained students will have the priority when signing individual contracts for research, development and other works within the enterprise development program, and also face the competitive acceptance of NTU "KhPI" graduates on the basis of interviews considering their professional competence. Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:49:53 +0000 http://xtz.ua/lang/en/news/14.html http://xtz.ua/en/news/13.html Kharkiv Tractor Plant, which, thanks to the investor Aleksandr Yaroslavskyy, after a forced one-year downtime, has not only resumed its work, but already managed to produce more than 700 units of machinery, today introduced an updated tractor. Modernized cab-to-engine tractors designed by KhTZ were presented by Kharkiv Tractor Plant at the largest agro-industrial exhibition in Ukraine AgroExpo-2017 (Kropyvnytskiy). According to experts and visitors of the exhibition, Kharkiv agricultural machines demonstrated the best technical characteristics and pleased their potential buyers. Plant workers brought two machines to the exhibition, where the largest domestic and foreign machinery manufacturers usually demonstrate the abilities of their agricultural horses - KhTZ-242K.20 series tractor with a 240 hp engine and KhTZ-243K.20 (250 hp), which complies with the European Stage IIIA environmental standards. The exposition was all the more interesting, because the guests, as well as, of course, competitors, could evaluate what the updated KhTZ machines were capable of in their work. And as a subtext – to show what the company achieved in a relatively short period after recovery. KhTZ tractor did not disappoint: during the exhibition it showed better results than many other more expensive and more sophisticated machines manufactured by the industry representatives. Field demonstration of the equipment took three days. Kharkiv Tractor Plant worked with agricultural implements of domestic producers, as well as of the foreign leader Lemken (Germany). KhTZ-243K.20 tractor demonstrated its capabilities in deep tillage, pre-sowing cultivation and sowing. Visitors appreciated the changes that were made: those applied to the cabin, interior, hydraulic system. New modern engines have been installed. At the same time, the machine has maintained its simplicity and has not lost its price attractiveness. "The tractor`s maneuverability, the possibility of a simple, and therefore quick readjustment is worth noting, - says the participant of the exhibition, a tractor driver with experience Ivan Petrov. "When modularized with other equipment, the tractor keeps its characteristics and does not consume more fuel." Thanks to the field demonstration, the visitors of AgroExpo could first-hand evaluate all the possibilities of the equipment produced by different manufacturers. As well as compare, discuss and consult specialists right there, at the exhibition. For example, a machine with a capacity of 340 hp made by one of the manufacturers barely coped with plowing to a depth of 25-30 cm.
