The Zetor 16145 is a standard tractor of the Zetor brand, which originated in Brno and became known for sturdy-looking yet plainly built tractors. Here it is listed under Ursus. Output is 145 PS (108 kW), the engine is water-cooled, and four-wheel drive can be engaged, so the front axle drive is used only when needed.
Within the recorded series, rated power runs from 21 to 142 kW; at 108 kW the 16145 sits in the upper third. Its direct neighbours are the 1201 Turbo with 102 kW below and the 1.604 with 110 kW above. The gap to both is small, so the 16145 fills a space in the upper mid-range.
Switchable four-wheel drive is a typical feature of this size class: on dry roads the tractor runs on rear-wheel drive and saves tyre wear, while on fields or wet grass the driver adds the front axle.
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.
