Busch 42856 Progress Tractor With Farmers Wife

In 1962, the GDR Council of Ministers decided to develop a new tractor to improve agriculture.With the target of 100 HP and a pulling force of 14,000 kN, the tractor should achieve the "highest level in the world".The first functional model of the ZT 300 was then available for extensive tests in 1964.In 1967 the ZT 300 was tested by Dipl. Ing. Erwin Stieglitz by the Central Test Center for Agricultural Engineering Potsdam-Bornim and in July 1967 the tests were completed with positive results.The chief designer, Dipl. Ing. Reinhard Blumenthal, and the team at the Schnebeck tractor factory have developed the ZT 300, a modern and powerful tractor that went into series production that same year.At the beginning of the 80s there were a total of 35,000 ZTs, which were only followed in 1978 by the improved ZT 320/323,which went into series production from 1984.However, since it received no major innovations except for the appearance, the connection to the world standard was lost.Technical dataMotor: 4 VD 14.5 / 12-1 SRW MAN system (4-stroke diesel / direct injection)Gearbox: Manual gearbox with gear shiftable under load / doubleclutch Clutch: Double clutch DK 80PTO shaft: Front, center and rear, speeds 540 and 1000Rpmwith 650 Nm torqueHydraulics:twin-flowradial piston pumpPower lift: automatic control with depth control, lifting force 1800 kp, swivel angle 800Steering: Mechanical hydraulic steering gear type 440 with hydr.Support (laterfully hydraulic steering)brake system: foot brake, hydr.Inner shoe brake;Handbrake, mech.Band brake acting on the brake drum;Hydraulic brake switch for single wheel brakingElectrical system: screw drive starter 24 volts, 4 hp, alternator 12 V 500 Wtank: 130 litersMain dimensions: length: 4690 mm, width: 2020 mm (with track width 1550 mm), height above sea level.Hood: 1800 mm, wheelbase: 2800 mm, track width: 1550 - 2000 mm, ground clearance: approx. 460 mmVehicle weight: 4820 KG curb weightMuch lighter, but by no means less detailed, the 1:87 scale model is even a driver. a driver to be precise.
