DT-75 tracked dozer

The DT-75 is a tracked agricultural tractor that excels, among other things, as a dozer, and it is in this form that you can find it on a Nikiniki T-shirt. It was constructed at the Volgograd Tractor Plant and was produced from 1962 to the early 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 of the units were exported, mainly to Eastern Bloc countries such as Poland, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia. What's more, the DET also proved successful 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 with the popular DET. A T-shirt with the DT-75 tracked tractor will certainly help you cherish them!
