The world's first crawler tractor

All Russian inventors passed through indifference and pushed their innovative ideas, which have been picked up by the West and implemented in their economies. The same story happened to come from the people mechanic, innovator, Fyodor Abramovich Blinov, who developed in 1877, homemade crawler tractor, radically changed the agricultural technology not only in Russia but all over the world. His invention became the basis of the tank was widely used in the technical equipment of heavy industry and space technology, landed on the moon.

The First crawler tractor was a platform for a locomotive moving on the endless rails caterpillars. Fyodor Abramovich and called him – the car tracks. The track was made up of small sections and closed, forming an unbroken circle. Given the Russian roads, this mode of transport had advantages over wheeled vehicles, and the trains, as it could move in any direction on any road, and the swampy terrain.

The condition of the road for him does not matter, because crawler tractor leans all his weight on the broad tape, which reduces the pressure on the ground. This is a unique invention of deserved attention, but government officials without proper attention reacted to the inventor of the nugget. Small local merchants trying to attract to the invention of interest and even to petition for grant of a patent for an invention, but did not get on.

In gratitude for the trouble, the inventor has designed one of them self-propelled tug and metal machinery instead of wooden plows and Sokh, and the first trailer, representing the same tractor crawler, only unified in one chain (like a train). Thus, there was a steam transport, which has several engines and reaching capacity in several tens of horsepower.

However, all of these steam machines are not used independently. They were designed as a support mechanism for the horse-drawn carriages. Three years later, F. A. Blinov invented the first oil engine design and only now completely self-propelled crawler tractor.

Money is not the development of this complex mechanism, the inventor was not, so pancakes and he started to engage in entrepreneurial activities. He designed the pumps for fighting fires, and began to produce them. In a wooden Russian fires occurred all the time, so orders for the pumps were many. The proceeds he invested in your main project – enhanced oil crawler tractor.

Eventually he rigged his cabin for a mechanic who is also a fireman, a driver, a braking and stopping the vehicle. Who showed a genuine interest in his tractors, so that German entrepreneurs. They are constantly asked to sell them a caterpillar tractor. But he did not, continuing to improve the device, came to the invention of the internal combustion engine, made unnecessary expensive motors RV Diesel.

Pancakes Later opened his own production of crawler tractors, oil engines. After his death, the children continued his business. But in the Western countries, started manufacturing crawler tractors.
