[AT] Belarus 822

[Cecil Bearden]

I bought a Belarus 822 with a Memo Loader yesterday.  Had to drive it 
home 15 miles.  It has a cab and needs the air conditioner compressor 
replaced, a Sanden compressor,  The tractor is a 1990 model with 82 
horsepower, 4 wheel drive.  I really like it and it has a lot of 
features that are mechanical, no real electronics.  Looks like a real 
reliable dependable tractor. The cab is built heavier than any american 
tractor, and has a roof hatch that can be opened for a vent.  I had no 
problem with the "greenhouse" effect in the cab with no air conditioner. 
  A lot of tractor for less than $6K.  There is one at a consignment 
sale about 40 miles away next week.  I may try to get it also.  I have a 
lot of hay clients that need a loader tractor.    Hydraulic control for 
the loader were on the tractor from the factory.  I am really impressed. 
  Not what I expected from all the coffee shop info I have heard over 
the years..  It will need some cab interior work and a little firt aid, 
but it was a one owner tractor for an old farmer that used it for 
feeding cattle and mowing.  The 3 point lit has a down pressure that 
will lift the back wheels.  This will really be handy for building 
fence, installing fence posts and using a post hole digger.
