The T-130 ( Russian Т-130 ) is a Soviet chain tractor , which was produced as the successor to the T-100 from 1969 in the Chelyabinsky Traktorny Sawod (German: Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, short ЧТЗ or TschTS). The vehicle was used both in agriculture for tillage and in industry as a bulldozer and was built in different versions, some copies also came to the GDR . In 1988 production was switched to the successor T-170 .

The first prototypes of the T-130 chain tractor appeared in 1961. The vehicle was intended to close the performance gap between the smaller S-100 (from 1963: T-100) and the significantly larger T-140 (from 1965: T-180 ). The prototypes were equipped with different engines. a. Four-cylinder type KDM-130 were used, which delivered 130 HP (96 kW) with a turbocharger. The body and the driver's cab were rounded and had hardly any resemblance to the later production vehicles. In 1963 the prototype of a version for particularly swampy terrain was shown at a Soviet exhibition.

There was no series production in the following years. Instead, the cabin and body were redesigned and the four-cylinder pre-chamber diesel engine was revised. It was given the designation D-130 and developed 140 hp (103 kW), displacement and cylinder dimensions did not change. In 1969 series production of the T-130 began in various versions. The predecessor T-100 was manufactured in parallel until 1983.

In 1981 the tractor was revised and the basic model received a new engine. The D-160 largely corresponded to the D-130, but now developed 160 hp (118 kW) with the same displacement of 13.54 l. As a result, the pulling force of the machine increased significantly from around 90 to almost 130 kN. Some models continued to be built in parallel with the weaker engine and were produced at least until 1985. The appearance did not change and was also retained for the successor T-170 . In 1988 production of the T-130 was stopped. Some late versions of the T-100 use components from the T-130 from the 1980s.

Like its predecessor T-100, the T-130 also came to the GDR. In agriculture, it was mainly used for special tasks, including plowing heavy soils, compacting silos, and in melioration work . The vibration loads caused by the semi-rigid track chassis and the noise that affected the driver were particularly problematic. The T-100 and T-130 tractors were not listed separately in the GDR inventory lists. Based on the years of construction, however, it is clear that at the end of 1988 there were at least 26 T-130 chain tractors and at least 53 bulldozers based on the T-130 in the GDR. An import of the successor T-170 was planned for 1990 with 50 pieces, whether the delivery actually took place is unknown.

Model variants

Various versions of the T-130 rolled off the production line in just under 20 years of production. The list below is not exhaustive, but is intended to provide an overview.

  • T-130 - basic version, built in series from 1969. Without hydraulic equipment, blade or rear ripper , nor with a D-130 engine and 140 hp. All prototypes from the 1960s also bore this designation.
  • D-532 and D-533 - First bulldozers based on prototypes with a round body. The series production of the sliding plate and hydraulics took place partially in other plants.
  • T-130A - model with hydraulic system for the development of ore deposits in Siberia and the Far East . Designed for operation in particularly cold temperatures. Built from 1969.
  • T-130B - The designation was given twice. A bulldozer prototype was presented under this name as early as the early 1960s. The series version was later named for particularly swampy terrain (with wider chains). Series production from 1969.
  • DS-27 , DS-28 , DS-109 and DS-110 - bulldozers based on the T-130.
  • T-130BG-1 - model variant for agricultural tillage on particularly wet soils. With hydraulic system, built from 1969.
  • T-180BG-3 - For use in melioration work with heavy rear attachments.
  • T-130.1.G-1 and T-130.1.G-3 - Universally applicable chain tractors with increased traction and for use in moderate climates. The G-3 version has more powerful rear hydraulics.
  • T-130MG-1 - Modernized version, built in the 1980s, basic model with hydraulic system.
  • T-130MB and T-130MBG-1 - Modernized basic versions for swampy areas.

In addition to dozers and rippers, various special attachments were also developed for the T-130. These included rammers and bucket wheel excavators (ETR-204 and others) for digging trenches.
