Introduction
Ursus 1224: Heavy-Duty Agricultural Tractor
The Ursus 1224 is a four-wheel-drive agricultural tractor produced in Warsaw, Poland, between 1984 and 2009. Designed for heavy-duty field operations, this model is recognized for its mechanical simplicity and robust construction.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Zetor Z8701.1 diesel engine, a liquid-cooled 6-cylinder unit with a displacement of 6.8 liters. It produces 119 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2200 RPM and delivers a maximum torque of 302.4 lb-ft at 1450 RPM. This torque profile is specifically suited for sustained pulling tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features a 16-speed forward and 8-speed reverse transmission. It utilizes a configuration of four gears across two ranges, complemented by a two-speed power shift system. This arrangement allows the operator to adjust ground speed under load without interrupting power flow, which is essential for varied field conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is equipped with a pump providing a flow rate of 10.8 gpm. At the rear, the tractor features a Category II three-point hitch equipped with position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 12,125 lbs. The independent rear PTO offers dual-speed functionality at 540 and 1000 RPM, accommodating a wide range of powered implements.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The machine has a wheelbase of 106.1 inches and an operating weight of 10,737 lbs, providing a stable platform for traction. The operator station consists of a standard cab factory-fitted with a heater to facilitate operation in various climate conditions. Steering is assisted by a power steering system, while braking is handled by hydraulic dry disc brakes.
Conclusion
The Ursus 1224 is a durable, high-capacity tractor engineered for general-purpose cultivation and heavy pulling. Its combination of a high-torque 6-cylinder engine, significant lift capacity, and power-shift transmission makes it a practical choice for large-scale agricultural operations requiring sustained performance.
