DT-75 tracked dozer tractor

The DT-75 is a tracked agricultural tractor that excels, among other things, as a dozer, and it's in this form that you can find it on Nikiniki's T-shirt. It was designed at the Volgograd Tractor Plant and produced from 1962 until the beginning of the 21st century.

The DT-75 tracked tractor is the successor to the DT-54 model, produced since 1949. In the mid-1950s, work also began on other replacements for the well-known DT-54, but the newly created DT-56 and DT-61 models did not meet all the requirements. This led to the creation of the DT-75 tractor, into which many innovations were introduced. As a result, on December 30, 1963, the DT-75 officially replaced the DT-54 model on the main assembly line of the VgTZ.

By the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, as many as 2,741,000 units of the popular DET were produced. From the mid-1960s, most units were exported, mainly to Eastern Bloc countries such as Poland, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia. What's more, the DET also proved its worth in Cuba and some African countries. The main advantages of the DT-75 tractor include its reliability and very simple construction.

Polish villages and farmers have many memories of the popular DET. The long-sleeved T-shirt with the DT-75 tracked tractor will certainly help you cherish them!
