The T-54W ( Russian Т-54В ) is a Soviet chain tractor that was produced from 1967 in the Kishinjowski Traktorny Sawod (German: Kischinauer Tractor Factory, КТЗ or KTS for short). It is the successor to the similar T-50W and was technically based on the well-known MTZ-50 wheel tractor from the Minski Traktorny Sawod . The vehicle is intended for work in viticulture and special crops.
Vehicle history

The first tractor built in the Kischinjowski Traktorny Sawod was the T-50W, manufactured from 1962 onwards, which, depending on the source, is technically based on the MTZ-5 wheel tractor or even on the MTZ-50. From 1967 the T-54W based on the MTZ-50 was manufactured.
There were two versions of the T-54W that differed in track width. While it is 950 millimeters for the T-54W-S1, it is only 850 millimeters lower for the T-54W-S2. Narrower vehicles were intended for working widths between 1.5 and 2 meters, while wider vehicles were intended for working widths of more than two meters. The tractor uses the same engine and also the same transmission as the MTZ-50. There are also strong parallels in the design of the bonnet and cabin. However, unlike the wheel tractor, the T-54W has sliding doors.
In addition to the two versions of the T-54W with different track widths, the special versions T-54L and T-54S were also built. The T-54L was a forest tractor and was only produced briefly from 1969 to 1971. The T-54S, on the other hand, was designed for the beet harvest and, like the basic version T-54W, was produced from 1967 to 1974. From 1974, a successor based on the MTZ-80 was manufactured with the T-70 .
As part of a construction aid, all construction plans were made available to a manufacturer founded in 1965 in Karlovo , Bulgaria . He produced the T-54W with only minor technical adjustments under the nickname "Bolgar" from 1968 to 1972 under license.
