The plant was founded on April 1, 1950 in Kurgan on the basis of Uralselmash. At the time the manufacturer specialized on producing balers, harrows, forage harvesters, threshers, etc. In the second half of the 1950s due to the increased need of the national economy for heavy machines, the plant was repurposed to produce wheel tractors. It was renamed Kurgan Wheel Tractor Plant (KZKT) by the Order of the Minister of the automotive and tractor industry on June 11, 1966.
In the 1970s and 80s, it employed about 11,000 people, that were specialists in 219 professions. Pride of the collective was Hero of Socialist Labor Yuri Nabatnikov. Mass edition factory newspaper "Factory Life" was issued. KZKT had a Palace of Culture, Sports Palace, Stadium and "Dolphin" swimming pool.
In 1981 the plant was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
On July 10, 1993, JSC "Rusich" — "D.M. Karbyshev Kurgan Wheel Tractor Plant" was registered. The volume of government procurement in 1991 dropped from 91% down to a level of 4.5%. Due to the lack of funds oil and gas companies rejected ordered vehicles, resulting in 286 unsold vehicles accumulated in warehouses. The volume of production in 1993 decreased by 34.2%.
