New Ursus tractor range - looking good!

[smcapstick]

Just been checking out the new tractors being offered by Ursus and I like what I see!

They look to be of good quality and made of proven parts. Euro 3A Perkins engines will be familiar to all, as will the Bosch hitch control. They are also 40KPH which has been markedly lacking from a number of other budget marque's tractors.

Something else that has been lacking is style - something which this new range has in spades!

Have any Irish or Continental TFFers tried one out, yet?

Don't often hear a bad word about them when they were in front line service. They rather lacked the good looks of their younger relatives, though!

Might have to pop over to Portlaoise for the day and try one out!

Just lack of brakes let them down

i thought it was the clutch was the worst part of them

Did see a lot of the Massey copies around in the early 90's as they were cheap at the time.

Laoise, Cork and Wexford. Obviously they are available in Poland, I'll find out where else tomorrow/Thursday.

any idea of price ,

 

[Barleycorn]

Price could be the decider. Zetor now are more expensive than Case.

Hopefully competitive, the mainstream manufactures need a kick up the hole with their pricing, but until someone else comes along and shows them the error of their ways tractors will be overpriced..


Look to the Transport industry and see how much 50 grand buys in a decent truck compared to a tractor....

I'll do my homework in the next few days. They look promising, though - especially now they are up to date

They need an engine update in the first instance. Is the transaxle a standard Cararro unit?

Why? Stage 3 is compliant. Not sure about the axles, yet.

i ike the 15014 , 6- cyl. SISU- ZF transmission that must be like the orange tractor everyone is talking about

 

[Mursal]

Yes I agree, but they seem to think the smaller 4 cylinder (Perkins) will be more of a seller, especially as they are pushing them as a loader tractor. Like everything else, the devil will be in the detail and only time will tell.

 

[snowhite]

bet they will cost as much as a nh , which will do them no good , even if they are better people will not pay extra for them like a zetor ,
