Crawler Tractor
Continuous track is a system of vehicle propulsion used in tracked vehicles, running on a continuous band of treads or track plates driven by two or more wheels. The large surface area of the tracks distributes the weight of the vehicle better than steel or rubber tires on an equivalent vehicle, enabling continuous tracked vehicles to traverse soft ground with less likelihood of becoming stuck due to sinking. Modern continuous tracks can be made with soft belts of synthetic rubber, reinforced with steel wires, in the case of lighter agricultural machinery. The more common classical type is a solid chain track made of steel plates (with or without rubber pads), also called caterpillar tread or tank tread, which is preferred for robust and heavy construction vehicles and military vehicles. The prominent treads of the metal plates are both hard-wearing and damage resistant, especially in comparison to rubber tyres. The aggressive treads of the tracks provide good tr ...

The plant was founded in 1933; the first product was a 60 hp tracked tractor C-60 (''Сталинец-60'', ''Stalinets-60'') fueled by petroleum ether (Benzine). In 1937 the factory produced its first diesel-powered vehicle C-65 (''Сталинец-65'', ''Stalinets-65''). By 1940 the plant had produced 100,000 tractors.

S-60 (tractor)
The S-60 or Stalinets-60 (russian: Сталинец-60, translit=Stalinets-60) was a Soviet tractor produced at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant between 1933 and 1937. It was based on the American Caterpillar Sixty tractor and was mostly produced for the Red Army, which used them extensively to haul artillery, as the tractor was heavily built and had a powerful engine. The tractor was used extensively in the beginning of World War II, but was gradually replaced by the S-65 tractor powered by a diesel engine. Many were captured and used by the Wehrmacht. The tractor was originally produced during the Second Five Year Plan (1933–37), produced for kolkhoz A kolkhoz ( rus, колхо́з, a=ru-kolkhoz.ogg, p=kɐlˈxos) was a form of collective farm in the Soviet Union.
