FORTSCHRITT ZT 300 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Fortschritt ZT 300 tractor features a robust VEB diesel 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 6.6L, delivering 98.6hp at 1800 RPM and a substantial torque of 317.2 lb-ft at 1350 RPM, allowing for effective operation in heavy-duty farm tasks. Its bore/stroke ratio (120mm x 145mm) indicates a longer stroke conducive to high torque output, particularly beneficial for plowing and towing applications. However, the relatively lower rated RPM could limit high-speed operations but enhances fuel efficiency and engine longevity under typical agricultural workloads.

MECHANICAL
The Fortschritt ZT 300 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing adequate traction for light to moderate agricultural tasks but may struggle on uneven terrain or in wet conditions. Its 9-speed transmission allows for versatile speed selection, enhancing efficiency in various operations. However, the lack of a 4WD option limits its capability for heavy-duty applications or operations in challenging environments.

FORTSCHRITT ZT 300 TIRES
The Fortschritt ZT 300 is equipped with 7.50-20 front tires and 18.4/15-30 rear tires, providing a balance of stability and traction for agricultural applications. The larger rear tire size enhances soil contact and improves flotation in muddy conditions, beneficial for working in challenging terrains. However, while the tire selection promotes performance, it may pose challenges in tight maneuvering spaces due to the tractor's size and turning radius.
