Since the works started the tours, tourists fr om Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Germany, and the Netherlands visited it. Next month, tourists from Spain and Norway are expected to come here.

During the tours, tourists learn about all the nitty-gritty of manufacturing – starting with a mechanical shop that produces cogs and beams, and ending with the works’ main assembly line – the tractor assembly facility. Then, tourists visit tractors exhibitions wh ere they learn about the past and present tractor models. The exhibition also features the visitors’ favourite – agricultural machinery.
