The birthday of the Tractor Plant is - the first June of 1933. It was the day, when the first Chelyabinsk machines left the plant. These were the caterpillar tractors "Stalinets-60" (S-60) of 60 hp run on the naphtha fuel. From the establishment day the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant is still the main manufacturer of the powerful caterpillar tractors in Russia. Wherever the problems of national importance were resolved or the innovations were introduced the ChTZ machines were operated and are still into operation.

1936. Our tractors passed the hardest examination when they were in two great expeditions: "Snow Campaign" - two thousands kilometers through rigorous Yakutiya in February when the temperature was minus 50 degrees centigrade, and through the Pamirs Passage at the altitude of four thousands meters in the military command of Turkestan.

May 1937. The tractor S-65 is awarded with the top prize, the Diploma "Grand Prix", during the World Fair in Paris.

June 20, 1937 The tractor "Stalinets-65" (S-65) 65 hp with the diesel engine went into the serial production. We were the first company in our country developing the manufacture of the fuel equipment for the diesels. ChTZ had become the pioneer of the soviet tractor and diesel construction.

1939 ChTZ began to produce the military equipment: the artillery prime mover "Stalinets-2" (S-2) of 105 horsepower.

1940 The tractor designers developed the production of the heavy tanks КВ designed by the Kirov Plant in Leningrad as well as the 12-plunger fuel pump "TH-12" for the aviation engines of the heavy bombers. On the 31st of December in 1940 the State Commission accepted the first tank manufactured in Chelyabinsk.

March 30, 1940 One hundred thousandth tractor was assembled. The total power of the produced Chelyabisk tractors was equal to six millions hp or to ten DneproGESes.

During the World War II ChTZ was renamed as Kirov Plant of Narcomtankoprom in the city of Chelybinsk. The Plant together with the seven companies partially or completely relocated formed a tank industrial complex hereinafter called as Tankograd. In a record short time the Plant became one of the major front armories: 18 thousands tanks and self-propelled machines, 48.5 thousands tank diesel engines, 17.7 millions military ammunition sets.

Tankograd manufactured 13 types of the new tanks and self-propelled artillery sets (SAU) as well as 6 types of the tank diesel engines. For the first time in the tank construction history all-over the world the heavy tanks were assembled in series.

During the War the Plant was rewarded for 33 times with the Red Banners of the State Defense Committee for the victory in the Soviet Union Competition. Two Banners were reserved to the personnel forever.

January 5, 1946The first post-war machine "Stalinets" (S-80) equipped with a cab of closed type was assembled. Since 12th of June, 1946 its serial production had been started. This machine was extensively used in the different branches of national economy: our tractors carried out more than a half of the excavation works on Volga-Don Shipping Canal. The ChTZ machines were widely applied to plough up the virgin soils.

The Kara-Kum sands, the Antarctica ice fields… In all continents a tractor having the emblem of ChTZ is the real do-all. It is applied to construct the new roads, cities and hydroelectric power stations as well as to lay oil-and-gas pipelines, to drain the marshes and to irrigate the deserts.

June 20, 1958 - The historical name Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant was recovered. The S-100 tractor was put into serial production. In 1961 this machine was rewarded with the World Fair Gold Medal.

January 1961The diesel-and-electrical tractor DET-250 of 310 hp was put into serial production. It was rewarded with three Gold Medals of the different international exhibitions: in 1960, 1965, and 1966.

October 9, 1963 The first production tractor T-100M of 108 hp left the main assembly line. In 1968 it was rewarded with the Gold Medal in the World Fair. To increase the working efficiency, reliability and service life of the tractors to operate them under various climatic conditions (marsh, sand, permafrost, etc) the modifications of a base model were developed and put into serial production. For instance, in 1964 we manufactured 22 variations of the tractor Т-100М.

In the late sixties under conditions of current manufacturing of the industrial tractors T-100M their radical reconstruction and technical re-equipment took place to start manufacturing the tractors T-130. On the 26th of May 1970 the building and modernization of ChTZ was declared as Soviet Komsomol Top-Priority Construction Project.

November 10, 1971The joint factory association "V.I. Lenin Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant" was established for the first time in the branch of the tractor and agricultural machinery industry of the USSR.

August 6, 1982 On the Elbrus north mountainside at two-kilometer altitude where was the high-level battlefront during the World War II, the obelisk is built. In its foundation the wreckages of the mutilated tractor S-60 used as a military prime mover are kept.

June 1, 1983 To the fiftieth anniversary of ChTZ the first tractor S-60 was set up on the square beside the plant. That was the first Soviet caterpillar. The first in the world heavy-duty power domestic tractor T-800 with the engine of 820 hp designed to develop the super-heavy frozen and rocky grounds without explosion was assembled.

November 3, 1984 The millionth ChTZ tractor was manufactured.

March 1988 The Plant personnel started the manufacturing of the T170 tractor equipped with the advanced diesel engine. That year the Plant achieved the maximum performance: 31.5 thousands tractors were assembled.

September 1988 The tractor Т-800 is registered in the Guinness Book of Records.

January 1989 The tractor DET-250M2 was put into serial production.

December 30, 1990 The first serial tractor T10 equipped with the hydraulic mechanical transmission was produced.

November 1999 The serial production of the tank diesel engine V-92C2 was developed.

September 25, 2000 The ChTZ goods were rewarded with the Gold Cup of 1st Grade in the world exhibition "Uralstroy-2000" (the city of Ufa).

June 01, 2002 The tractor T10 was put into serial production.

December 18, 2002 The Quality Certificate (Model Testing License) on the bulldozer B-10.02 was presented by EEC Center (Germany).

June 01, 2003 It is the celebration date of the "ChTZ-Uraltrac" Ltd 70th Anniversary. This day the column of machines left the Plant through the main gate. There was all range of vehicles: tractors, wheel and other special-purpose machines, and mini-machines. That was really the review of the models that have been manufactured by the plant. The tractor-veteran S-65 produced in 1937, the tractors DET-250, and the bulldozers on the base of the tractor T-170 - all of them took part in this review. The legendary tanks T-34 and KB, machines T-72 and BMP-1 adopted by Russian Army represented the military models. The up-to-date models were represented by the family of engineering equipment produced on the base of tractor T10M. The wheel vehicles included compacting roller BK-24, loader PK-5, bulldozer BK-1, small-sized tractor "Uraletz" and engineering machines on its base. The bulldozer on base of tractor T3 represented the promising models. The column ran down along the central way of the regional center to the show area in triumphal atmosphere and Chelyabinsk natives and guests could admire these machines for several days. Thousands of citizens saluted and welcomed the column. During three days more than 15000 people visited the exposition.
