ENGINES OVERVIEW

The Ursus 1204 tractor features a robust Zetor 6.8L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing substantial torque and power for demanding agricultural tasks. A key advantage of this engine size is its efficiency in fuel consumption, enhancing productivity in the field; however, its weight may pose challenges in certain soil types. Ideal for mid to large-scale farming operations, the Ursus 1204 excels in heavy-duty applications but requires careful handling on soft or uneven terrain.

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The Ursus 1204 is powered by a robust Zetor Z8601 diesel engine, featuring a 6-cylinder layout with a displacement of 6.8 L, providing high torque output of 302.4 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, advantageous for heavy-duty tasks like plowing and hauling. With a power rating of 120 hp at a low 2200 RPM, the tractor excels in fuel efficiency and operational longevity but may face challenges in acceleration due to its high weight-to-power ratio. Its bore/stroke ratio (4.33x4.72 inches) suggests a focus on torque delivery, making it ideal for applications requiring consistent low-end power.
