This publication is about Alexander Soshnykov a leading designer, engineer and talented leader and organizer of domestic tractor building. Furthermore his biography and creative input are revealed.
Being a chief designer of Kharkov Tractor Plant in 1963-1967 he stood at the origins of the big wheeled tractors. The development of new models of wheel tractor PMZ-6 on Southern Machine-Building Plant in Dnepropetrovsk was equally important merit of Alexander Andreyevich.
The family of wheeled tractor T-125 created under his leadership formed the basis for a new generation of well-known powerful wheeled tractors T 150 K, that took from the T-125 such components: layout, system of rotation, frame, axles, steering, universal joints, pneumatic, suspension etc. The tractor T-150 K inherited progressive transmission with switching on the go from family-type tractors of T-150.
Special attention in the publication is given to the descriptions of complicated history of legendary tractor T-150 development and implementation, to which O. Soshnikov was directly involved (he created a wheel modification of it).
O. A. Soshnikov demonstrated its best not only in designing but also as organizator, manager and mentor, his hard work and dedication improwed the the process of development a range of wheeled tractors models at Southern Machine-Building Plant and Kharkov Tractor Plant. An essential rule of O. A. Soshnikov was the young scientists involvement many of whom later became outstanding designers and engineers of the domestic tractorbuildung.
Through his dedicated work there was created and enhanced a number of domestic wheeled tractors: T-90, T-125, T-150 K, PMZ – 6, PMZ -6 L\6 M etc.
