T-20 tractors were used until the end of World War II, including as light tanks and even gun platforms of the Red Army and the armies of Germany, Finland and Romania.
The creation of the T-20 was preceded by a whole series of experiments. On the chassis of the T-16 tank, a “passenger (small) tractor of the Red Army” was created, which did not go into production due to low traction characteristics (3 tons were required). As a temporary solution, T-27 wedges taken out of service by combat units were used as tractors.
After all the improvements and changes made, we can conclude that the T-20 turned out to be a completely serviceable vehicle. Small, fast (by the standards of that time), maneuverable, it was used not only as a tractor, but also replaced wedges and armored vehicles during reconnaissance.
