Ursus 30 series – the big farm tractors from Warsaw: 932/934 to 1934, 59 to 140 kW from four- and six-cylinder Ursus and ZTS Martin engines

The Ursus 30 series from Warsaw bundles the Polish maker's big four- to six-cylinder farm tractors. The type designations 932/934, 1134, 1234, 1734 and 1934 span the medium to big power class; the engines come from Ursus itself and from the Slovak engine maker ZTS Martin.

The register lists here 5 versions with 58.8 to 139.7 kW or 80 to 190 hp from four- to six-cylinders of 4,562 to 7,299 cc, unladen weights from 4,240 to 6,555 kg, lengths from 4,130 to 4,580 mm, widths from 1,966 to 2,365 mm and heights from 2,920 to 3,550 mm, torque from 254 to 722 Nm at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm.

The 30 series formed, in Poland and the export markets of the Eastern Bloc, the upper power class of the Ursus programme for large farms and heavy draft work, above the more widespread smaller ranges of the brand. The shared use of Ursus and ZTS Martin engines reflects the close cooperation between tractor makers within the Eastern Bloc in building large farm machinery for collectivised agriculture across the region.

On the big Ursus tractors, what counts is the condition and compression of the four- or six-cylinder diesel, the condition of clutch and gearbox, the tightness of the hydraulics and lift, and rust on the cab and mudguards; parts are partly still available through Polish and Eastern European 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.
  • Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
  • 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.
