Test production of tractors RSM 3485 DT, RSM 3535 DT, RSM 3575 DT started in October. The lineup falls in the segment of extra-heavy-duty tracked agricultural machines. Before, similar machines were built at the company’s factory in Canada.
This lineup was named DT, DELTA TRACK, because it uses delta-shaped half-tracks, this reduces ground pressure and provides good performance in power-demanding applications. The track drive system is one of the most advanced in the industry. DT series tractors boast exceptional power ratings: 492, 542, 583hp, and RSM 3575 DT (583hp) is the most powerful agricultural tractor built in Russia. Such machines are normally used to work a big acreage - from 2,500 to 3,000 hectares and more. A high power rating and a number of technological solutions allow the use of a wide range of implements, reduce time and fuel and labor costs.
Building tractors, the company has very soon become a major maker of such machines in Russia. “Over a short time, Rostselmash tractors have won the market in Russia and CIS. Today, the company produces machines with power ratings from 270 to 583hp in different configurations — from conventional to articulated and tracked tractors,” says Product Manager Oleg Stetsiuk.
This September, the construction of a new tractor factory started in Rostov-on-Don, which will significantly boost the company’s production capacity. On a 14-hectare land plot, the following facilities will be sited: a production building with an overall footprint of 62,000 sq.m, a trial shop, and buildings of the commercial and engineering services. The factory’s capacity will be 5,000 units per year. The construction is expected to be complete by late 2022.
