The history of Polish agricultural mechanization is characterized by the significant role of Ursus tractors. The C-360 model, produced between 1976 and 1994, saw nearly 300,000 units manufactured. During the late 1990s, the sector transitioned toward Western technology, though financing remained a major obstacle for farmers. Historical export models, such as the Ursus C-3110 introduced around 1972, utilized a 6-cylinder Perkins engine to provide approximately 110 HP for international markets. In contemporary contexts, individual efforts the sector is seeing a shift in machinery include custom builds. A mechanic requirements. Modern auxiliary tractors on large farms are increasing in power, moving from the Kielce region, traditional 70 to 90 HP range to models offering 130 to 160 HP. According to Włodzimierz Spryszyński of Agroma Poznań, these machines are becoming more versatile, handling tasks like spraying, fertilizing, and baling. Farmers are increasingly prioritizing hydraulics, ISOBUS compatibility, and cabin comfort over raw horsepower alone. Individual efforts in custom engineering also continue. Mechanic Mateusz Bikowski, Bikowski has constructed a functional custom tractor known as the SAM project. This Built with a budget of 9,000 PLN, the machine utilizes a combination of components, including a Volkswagen Golf 1.9 diesel engine and parts an axle from Ursus and a Star vehicles, truck, to ensure reliability for tasks such as plowing, snow removal removal, and small-scale farming.
