Can not really comment on those bigger tractors.... But dad bought a new Belarus 250 with frontend loader in the late 70's
It was a OK hobby farmer tractor at best.
While or winters are mild; never had a problem starting it because of the compression release lever. Had power down on the 3 point that I sometimes miss having now.
Using the gear selector took some getting use to as the high low selector; forward and reverse selector; and the gear selector was all the same handle. The tires seemed to small for the weight. Just driving within 5 feet of a mud puddle seemed enough to get it stuck. Sure glad ours had a loader you could use to push yourself out. Castings seemed crude and some of it seemed harder to work on but that may have just been my inexperienced age showing.
It was a little over 10 years old when he sold it with no real problems so I can not really say it was a bad tractor. In fact for the money it was most likely a good tractor.
Today I think MTZ has less that 25 dealers in the U.S. nation wide. For that reason I would find it a hard buy today.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
