The refinement boosted Vladimirets’ ability to traverse damp surfaces while keeping asphalt roads intact, reducing wear and preserving the pavement while still enabling practical mobility in less predictable conditions.
For the T-28, an extra set of rubber-metal tracks was paired with two tensioners, one for the left side and one for the right. These tensioners functioned like an auxiliary duo of wheels placed in the chassis area between the front and rear axles, adding stability and distributing load more evenly on soft or uneven terrain.
When needed, the tracks could be taken off with ease, and the central wheels could be hung from the frame to revert the tractor to its standard, original configuration. This modular approach allowed quick adaptation to different working environments without permanent alterations.
