Ursus 385
Series: Other models
The Ursus 385 belongs to the tractor group and was produced in the stated production period. It is equipped with a 4‑cylinder engine with a displacement of 4.562 cm³. Key dimensions are 3.945 mm length, 1.930 mm width and 2.484 mm height, with a wheelbase of 2.385 mm. The empty weight is 3.525 kg and the fuel tank holds 90 l.
The engine reaches a nominal speed of 2.200 U/min and delivers a torque of 215 Nm, providing sufficient pulling power for field work. The transmission offers 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, allowing a wide range of operating speeds; the top speed is 25 km/h. The drawbar speed of 540/1000 U/min supports power delivery under varying loads. With a Cat II power lift category, the tractor can handle common agricultural implements.
Without direct sibling models, the Ursus 385 sits in the middle power range of its class. Tractors of this size and specification are typically suited for medium to large farms that need both pulling and transport capabilities, while benefiting from a versatile gearbox for diverse working conditions.
Ursus — one brand, two licences, many relatives
Anyone looking at an Ursus rarely sees a purely in-house design. The brand's history is a history of licences — and that is precisely why parts are often easier to find than the production figures would suggest.

In 1965 the Warsaw plant began building the C-4011 under a licence agreement with Zetor in Brno. At its heart sat the S-4001 engine, the Polish version of Zetor's Z-4001. That kinship runs through the ranges: the later C-360, built from 1976 and in the programme until the end of 1994, used the S-4003, the strongest engine of that family.
In 1974 a second licence followed — the British one from Massey Ferguson, together with the associated production plant. Models such as the MF 235, MF 255 and MF 265 were then built in Poland with Perkins engines and became a fixture on many farms. The higher Ursus ranges with four-digit numbers descend from this line.
One remarkable long-runner stands out: the C-325 and its revised versions C-328 and C-330 — popularly the "thirties" — plus the C-335 export version, ran without interruption for 34 years until 1993.
When buying used it is therefore worth establishing the range's ancestry first. An Ursus from the Zetor line shares engine parts with Czech machines, one from the Massey Ferguson line with British ones. That decides where to look for components.

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.
