April 14, 2014. On April 12, 1969, the first set of industrial tractors T-130 was embarked upon at Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (ChTZ, a member enterprise of Uralvagonzavod Corporation). According to the corporation’s press service, the new tractor came to replace the T-100 make, which proved the bestseller of the 60s.
‘The machine was designed by a large team of designers from the plant’s lab chaired by Ivan Kavyarov. It was he who coined the term ‘industrial tractor’ – the collocation was faced with some skepticism on the experts’ part at first, but was later fully adopted into scientific and technical parlance. All the jobs relating to the mass-scale launch of the T-130 were supervised by Boris Magarillo, who later developed a series of modified versions of the original make fit for the marshes, the woods, the Polar North, and so on,’ the press service says.
