Ursus 914 / 1224 / 1614 / 1634 / 1734 – Polish tractors from Warsaw built under Massey Ferguson licence with Perkins engines, four- to six-cylinder, 58.8 to 125 kW, 4,420 to 5,920 kg unladen weight

Ursus built these tractors at its Warsaw plant under licence from Massey Ferguson, using Perkins engines; the range spans the smaller 914 to the large four-digit 1224, 1614, 1634 and 1734, whose type numbers order the power class upward. The models were built between the 1980s and 2000s and shaped Polish farm machinery of the era.

The register lists 5 versions with 58.8 to 125 kW (80 to 173 hp) from four- to six-cylinder diesel engines of 4,562 to 7,299 cm³, unladen weights of 4,420 to 5,920 kg, lengths of 4,160 to 5,020 mm, widths of 1,970 to 2,365 mm, heights of 2,640 to 3,550 mm and torque of 237 to 603 Nm at 2,200 rpm.

Ursus was Poland's central tractor manufacturer, supplying the country's agriculture and export markets across the former Eastern Bloc for decades; licensed production with Massey Ferguson technology and Perkins engines combined Western drivetrain engineering with domestic manufacturing, and Ursus tractors remain a common sight on Polish farms today.

On used examples, check the injection pump, cylinder head gasket and cooling system on the Perkins engines, and the clutch and differential on the gearbox and axles; rust on the cab, fenders and frame is common on these older model years, while parts for the Perkins engines are usually readily available through independent parts dealers.

What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
