Ursus C45 tractor. Poland (1950-56).

Ursus C45 tractor performs various tasks in Polish farms. In the film you can also see Zetor 25 tractor, which was imported in large quantities to Poland from the Czech Republic.

The Ursus C-45 and C-451 was a popular Polish model of tractor. It was manufactured from 1947 to 1959 by the Ursus Factory in Warsaw, and from 1960 to 1965 by Zakłady Mechaniczne in Gorzów Wielkopolski.
Production of the Ursus C-45 model began in 1946. Due to the need to begin production quickly, the Ursus company decided to copy the Lanz Bulldog D 9506. Lanz had successfully exported tractors to Poland and Russia in the pre-war period. Examples of this German model were prevalent in the formerly German parts of post-war Poland. Apart from its proximity and prevalence, the model also was advantageously high-powered relative to its simple construction and operation.
At the beginning of its production life, the C-45 was manufactured with steel wheels. Modernising modifications were made to the tractor in later years, resulting in the improved C-451.
The very first C-45, serial number 0001, worked 12,000 hours without intervening overhaul. Approximately 6,000 C-45 and C-451 tractors were exported to Brazil, China, and Korea.

Based on the Polish newsreel.
