Ursus C-328

The Ursus C-328 is an exceptionally sleek model, standing out among the other tractors produced by the Ursus Mechanical Works in Warsaw. Its production lasted from 1963 to 1968, during which over 75,000 units were delivered to Polish farmers. The C-328 was the successor to the Ursus C-325, hence their almost familial resemblance – in short, our hero today looks like the biological brother of the C-325 model.

The Ursus C-328 was the result of modernization carried out by the Warsaw plants – compared to its predecessor, it had a more powerful 28 HP engine, and its overall efficiency was increased through a series of improvements in the hydraulic system. One of the extraordinary advantages of the Ursus C-328 – in addition to low fuel consumption – was its ease of starting in winter, which meant that brave farmers did not have to struggle with a stubborn machine during harsh frosts.

The Ursus C-328 features an elegant body, whose hood's appearance harks back to the tasteful passenger cars of that era. The gleam of the Ursus C-328's cherry lacquer is no different from the gleam flowing along the rounded bodies of luxury machines that could be found in the city. The only thing our hero requires is thorough washing and polishing to present itself with big-city chic.
