In 1999, Belarus took a bold step towards larger tractors with the introduction of the 155-horsepower 1522. The 7.12-liter six-cylinder engine was fundamentally the same as the one previously introduced in the 1221 model. Similarly, the 16+8 transmission without a creeper gear was derived from the smaller model. The angular, 1990s-style design was new, and no other models with a similar style were introduced. In the 1523, introduced in 2004, the design shifted to a rounder, streamlined style, following the trend of smaller new models. The 1523 featured the same curved-glass cab as the 1222.

The lifting capacity was 7000 kg, appropriate for the tractor's size, and a Bosch electric lift was typically standard equipment. Three hydraulic valves were standard. The standard tires were relatively small for the size of the tractor.

In the intermediate-cooled 1523.3, introduced in 2006, the design shifted to a rear end and shorter wheelbase similar to the smaller models. The 1523.4, equipped with a Deutz engine, was also produced with a longer wheelbase.

The 2022 differed in design from the 1522/1523 but had minor technical differences. The engine was either Belarus’s own 7.1-liter or a similarly sized Deutz.
