ХТЗ 248К

A reliable workhorse for heavy-duty tasks

When you take a heavy disc harrow or a wide-seeder into the field, you realize why the KhTZ 248K is still a staple in many fleets. This machine doesn't require the delicate care of expensive imported tractors; it simply pulls what it’s supposed to. The heart of this model, the FPT-Iveco engine, is a game-changer. Unlike the old-school engines, this one starts reliably in cold weather, runs cleaner, and demonstrates much better fuel efficiency under load.

Maintenance and serviceability

The simplicity of the design is its best feature for an operator. If something breaks down during the sowing season, you can often fix it right in the field without needing a specialized computer diagnostic system or a week in a service center. Access to the key components is straightforward, and spare parts are readily available and affordable, which is crucial when every hour of downtime means potential harvest loss.

Ergonomics and daily operation

Let's be clear: this isn't a luxury machine. You will deal with engine noise and some vibrations, and the A/C needs to be maintained to keep the cabin cool during summer. However, compared to older series, the cabin is well-sealed and offers much better visibility. The hydraulic controls are intuitive and within reach, allowing for long 12-hour shifts without excessive fatigue.

• Traction class 4-5 provides enough versatility to handle a wide range of agricultural implements.
• The articulated frame design ensures good maneuverability on tight headlands.
• Drivetrain: requires consistent lubrication but is built to withstand high torque loads.

If you are looking for a tractor that is designed to perform in real-world conditions rather than sitting in a showroom, the KhTZ 248K is a machine that justifies every dollar spent on it.
