Xingtai XT-180 is a classic model of Chinese tractor, which is produced in Xingtai City, Hebei Province. Tractors have been manufactured since the 80s, during which time the design has changed, the equipment has expanded and the technical characteristics of tractors have improved. However, the combination of a two-cylinder engine with a 3 + 1x2 gearbox remained low.
Tractors are delivered to Russia from several factories located in Xingtai.
- Xingtai Tongde Machinery Co., LTD supplies tractors and spare parts under the Uralets brand. The factory also produces TY290 and TY295 engines and carries out SKD assembly of equipment based on these engines. The enterprise is not state-owned, but it undergoes a basic check of product quality. The quality is 6 out of 10.
- The ZHE JIANG TAOTAO VEHICLES CO., LTD plant supplies low quality tractors, branding products according to the buyer's order in the Chuvashpiller or Rusich corporate identity.

Mini tractors have always had a number of advantages over heavy equipment. Techniques of this type do not need much space, can work in tight spaces, and save fuel. And the type of work of the minitractor is no less than that of the "big brother".
Minitractor Uralets -180 is one of the most popular models of minitractors of domestic production. A lot of people talk about him, write and shoot videos. The history of the 180 model began in 1991, when the first such model was imported from China. But even now these mini tractors help people in the fields, gardens and roads. You can buy this model in any remote corner of Russia. What features does this model have and how to buy it in this article.
General description of the model, application and purpose
Designers improve the Uralets 180 every year and modern models are completely different from their grandfathers. At the Urals 180, at the present stage of development, the design received separate braking of the rear wheels and a more advanced hydraulic output. Attachments Uralets 180 is diverse and grows every year. The XT is an economical and manoeuvrable model that can work in greenhouses, narrow streets and small areas. The design of the case has changed and has become more optician, the material used for its manufacture is high-strength plastic. This makes the model easy and less expensive.
Spare parts for this mini tractor can be found in any agricultural equipment store in the country. It is fully adapted to the climatic zone of Russia and is used at different times of the year.
He easily copes with any kind of work put before this type of equipment. In agriculture, they are used for plowing, harrowing, loosening the soil, planting and harvesting root crops (potatoes, onions, beets, etc.), spraying and spudding crops, mowing and harvesting hay.
Utilities also like to use the Uralets 180 model. With it, you can take care of lawns and clean streets at any time of the year. This technique copes well with the loading and unloading of heavy or bulk cargo. And many more specialized types of work can be performed by this versatile craftsman. The only condition for such a wide application is the purchase of attachments and trailers.
Separately, I would like to say about the Urals XT 180. This model is also produced by Tractor LLC Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, but their engine manufacturers are different. XT has a Chinese-made Xingtai engine. And so in general it is one and the same model. HT can be seen in the proposed video:
It is the base model and differs only in name. But in fact it is all one technique.
Technical characteristics of the minitractor 180
The technical characteristics of the Uralets xt180 are not inferior to many models of powerful tractors. The only thing they are different about is their compactness, the Uralets is 253x120x175 cm in size. The hook has a traction capacity of 3.7 kN. The turn of the XT minitractor is 3.9 0. But with all its minimalism, it develops a speed of up to 27 km / h. This mini tractor weighs only 940 kg, but the weight can vary by 50-100 kg, depending on the configuration of attachments.
Engine type - diesel two-cylinder four-stroke engine. Some models come with a gasoline engine, they are excellent in noise level and fuel consumption. Gearbox (3+1)+2. The front wheel track of the XT reaches 120-134 cm, rear 100-120 cm. The number of wheels: 2x4. The manufacturer, when finalized, can increase it to 140 cm.
With all this, the machine is very economical, the consumption does not reach 246.2 g/kW/h. This is one of the reasons for such popularity among farmers.
In addition, the XT minitractor has a beautiful design and a dual braking system with improved hydraulics. But every year the minitractor is improved. The model is easy to maintain, and the number of spare parts makes its work uninterrupted. It is believed that this is the fastest payback model on the Russian market of mini tractors. For greater convenience, manufacturers and sellers offer to test this technique. On the territory of Russia there are 165 service centers of this model.
Of course, like any model of tractors, the Urals has its negative sides. But to the credit of the manufacturers, this model has few of them. The main ones are:
- This model cannot work with heavy equipment, they are even unacceptable to install. For example, excavator, KUHN, etc.
- This technique is not suitable for all farmers, if you have large land, then it is better to use more powerful models.
Features of the Uralets XT180 model:
- The rubber of the front wheels is "industrial" domestic.
- Domestic battery with the latest current pre-start system.
- The wiring has been improved and strengthened.
- Diesel engines have a cold start system.
- There is a sound signal, which is not available on most mini tractors of other models.
- The gears in the gearbox are reinforced.
- The rear hitch has reinforced levers.
- The muffler is made of welded pipe.
- The seat for the convenience of the driver is horizontally adjustable.
- All lubricants and fluids used in the domestic production model.
- All instructions and catalogs in Russian.
- The manufacturer guarantees this model for 1 year from the date of purchase.

Owner reviews about Uralets
Nothing can characterize technology more accurately than users. Reviews about this machine can be found on numerous forums. For the convenience of readers, we have combined the most frequent of them in a table in the form of opposites to each other.
| Positive reviews | Negative Feedback |
| The tractor can be borrowed. This is especially useful for rural residents who have 5 hectares each, who use the plowing service for a fee. It is more profitable to purchase your own mini tractor and it will pay off in a year. And if you plow the land for neighbors for money, then you will still remain in profit. When calculating for a year of work, it paid off both the loan and interest, and even the gasoline spent on work | The high cost of replacing an oily engine in this model. But if you take into account the total costs and profits, then a quick payback. |
| The price and quality of the XT model is adequate, especially when compared with JM or SF. The XT 180 model is one of the most powerful in its line. Works without buildup with any mounted and trailed equipment. The fuel consumption is very low compared to the JM type model. In winter, it showed itself at 100%, easily rakes ice, sleet and even a stale embankment. Starts up quickly in cold winters. | It takes time to master, it is difficult to immediately get used to the elements of the control system. Spending on training is about the same as driving a passenger car. |
| Easily steerable and manoeuvrable model, especially useful when working in small and tight areas. Indispensable in the greenhouse industry. Power 18 hp suitable for all agricultural work. Beautiful and modern design. | The body is made of plastic, which makes the model more vulnerable to mechanical damage. |
| Does not damage lawns when working on them and has a wide range of attachments. | Attachments are unreasonably expensive, the price of some models reaches 100 thousand rubles. |
Judging by customer reviews, this technique has more pluses than minuses. And the cons either pay off during work, or require a small amount of personal time.

Tractor in basic and modified versions
The Xingtai-180 minitractor is structurally focused on the effective mechanization of labor-intensive agricultural work, but can be used with equal success in the municipal and construction sectors.
Its technical capabilities are expanded due to:
- onboard hydraulic system with remote hydraulic cylinders;
- universal mechanism for three-point attachment of working equipment;
- pneumatic drive of brake devices of towed trailers with a carrying capacity of up to 2000 kg.
Some series are equipped with a light cab with good visibility, the increased cost of such a model is offset by the full operation of the machine, regardless of weather and climatic conditions.
Specifications

power unit
The tractor is equipped with an economical and reliable two-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine of the TY 290 brand. At maximum speed, the engine develops 18 hp. The advantages of this unit:
- economical, within 255-259 g / kW / h fuel consumption;
- combined lubrication system;
- free access for maintenance;
- remote electric start.
Transmission
The power transmission of the classic type includes a mechanically controlled single-plate clutch mechanism, an 8-speed gearbox with 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds. The range of working and transport speeds is within 2.7-27.3 km / h.
The transmission also includes wheel reduction gears, a center differential and shoe brakes. To activate mechanically driven attachments, an independent single-speed power take-off shaft is used.
Chassis
Xingtai-180 tractor chassis, formula 4x2, with rear axle drive wheels of increased diameter. The wheelbase length of 1440 mm stabilizes the directional stability of the machine when driving on a complex micro-relief, a large deflection angle of the front wheels made it possible to reduce the turning radius of the tractor to 3.9 m.
The passability of the machine is ensured by chevron lugs of wide-profile wheel tires and a road clearance of 300 mm high, reliable adhesion of the undercarriage to loose and waterlogged soils is achieved by mounting ballast weights.
Advantages
The Xingtai-180 model proved to be the best when operating in the northern and southern regions. The indisputable advantages of this miniuniversal:
- more than democratic price of the machine itself and the cost-effectiveness of its maintenance;
- flexible traction characteristics;
- compatibility with agricultural and municipal attachments from other manufacturers;
- a high level of maintainability, allowing owners to independently eliminate failures and malfunctions, including in the field;
- interchangeability of spare parts with a repair range of tractors of the same type in terms of power and purpose.
Xingtai model 180 is fully adapted to the peculiarities of the Ukrainian climate, so the preparation time for a cold engine start at an air temperature below -10 ° C is minimal. As practice shows, the high self-sufficiency of the machine allows you to compensate for the funds invested in its purchase for a maximum of 2 years.
Flaws
The hydraulic system of the tractor is single-acting, since it only works on lifting. The absence of a forced deepening function creates difficulties when plowing and subsequent processing of dense soils.
- The capabilities of the machine are significantly limited by the lack of front-wheel drive and a center differential lock mechanism. The efficiency of many attachments is lower due to the lack of increased, 1000 rpm, power take-off speed.
- The accuracy of setting the relay-regulator leaves much to be desired, the lack of power reserve in the generator negatively affects the charging time of the battery.
A significant proportion of negative reviews refers to a model that is identical in name, but of lower quality, which is semi-legally produced in small private enterprises.

The price of new cars and used
In the domestic market of agricultural and tractor equipment, the base model Xingtai 180 costs an average of 80,000 hryvnias ($3,000). The upgraded version of this machine, known as Xingtai T-18, is in the price range of 89-92 thousand ($3300 - $3400).
The higher cost of the upgraded tractor is offset by a reinforced frame, a significant extension of the life of loaded components and assemblies, and an increase in the reliability of the entire machine as a whole.
The price of used equipment in good technical condition and with a 50% reserve of overhaul life is 50-60 thousand hryvnias (1850 - $ 2200).
Analogues
Identical in terms of power and application features, mini tractors, Caliber MT-180, to a lesser or equal extent, duplicate the design and technical capabilities of the basic development of the 18-horsepower station wagon Xingtai. Moreover, the Xingtai 180 SWATT of the same type is practically its clone.
