Hey Triple F,
Not sure about south of the border,but up here they have stalled. With the increase in price,and not really having anything new,their marketshare has been shrinking steadily the last years.

That product range is impressive. But I suppose with a few pictures and data you can make any range seem impressive.
Does anyone know why UK ones use to be resprayed silver or cream. The US one's are the same as eastern block ones today, orange.
Are they not popular with some hobby farmers, I thought they were some years ago? Have they ever sold any of the big ones state side? With all the home grown artic competition I would think not.

Hi Triple F,
Sales in the US would be similiar to what Woodbeef stated for Canada, stalled.
Belarus US has restructured, supposedly new models are being sent over. Only found one dealer in Texas that has new ones to sell.
Fred,
There were very few artic ones sold here. Midsize models sold best.

Something like that what answered i estimated.
In Finland same situation,only some long term belarus users are still buying those.
Let see,maybe they must do something to construction.

I remember seeing alot of Belarus articulated tractors in Canada in the 80's probably sold to smaller-medium sized operators who wanted large cheap power. With the downturn of the farm economy, alot of smaller/medium sized farms dissappearing, and there were alot of Canadian/US articulated used tractors avaliable to smaller operators. By that time the only new articulated tractors were sold to the largest operators who wanted all the bells and whistles so there was aimost no market for a Belarus in that category. Even a good tractor like the Agcostar, which I think is a great tractor, had a hard time without the latest design features and creature comforts. There were some in the 80 hp mfd rowcrop style Belarus sold here to hobby farmers not to commercial operators that I know of. The bankruptcy of the US company didn't help and many other tractors were coming into the country from other countries for hobby farmers. concern about parts avaliability or cost is very important in North America.
