I am looking at a Belarus 9345. Looks to have brand new tires on a 23 year old tractor. 4WD, loader. Good price, but I don't know much about this brand. Anyone have any experience with this or heard anything about this tractor? The company has been making tractors since 1946 but this is the first time I have heard of them.
Looking to purchase a Belarus 98 hp tractor

Don't know about the newer ones, but the old ones where a marvel of simplicity. Diesel in fuel tank, and 30W oil in Everything else, hydralic, axles, transmission, oil sump, ect.

Heavy, very heavy built tractors.

Russian engineering. Maybe OK if you are an experienced heavy equipment mechanic.

US market model numbers always seemed unique. Looking at photos of one it looks like an MTZ built tractor. Appears similar to a 5480 or 5490 which would be similar to the older 925.
14/4 speed or 9/8 speed shuttle, dry clutch.
They are cheap power and if you get a good one, you have a good one
Heavy, simple tractors with a decent amount of thought put in them.
They have poor resale and were often bought new by smaller farms wanting a new tractor for a lot less money.
MTZ were sold worldwide and parts shouldn't be a crazy issue when ordering online, just don't expect to go to a dealership for anything. The Ukraine/Russia thing could pose some parts challenges since they are built in the country Belarus next to Russia.
If it's MINT and CHEAP I'd consider it.
