Early units featured original British-made engines, which were noted for having a longer service life than later domestically produced versions. Key Technical Specifications
The Ursus C-360-3P remains a staple on small and medium-sized farms throughout Poland. Due to its massive production volume, spare parts are still widely available through retailers like Truck1 , keeping these "working classics" in active service decades after production ended.

The Perkins engine was widely praised by Polish farmers for its significantly lower fuel consumption compared to the standard 4-cylinder model. It was eventually succeeded by the Ursus 3512
The is a legendary Polish utility tractor that represents a unique technical fusion between Eastern European ruggedness and British engineering. Produced primarily between 1981 and 1993 at the Ursus Tractor Factory in Warsaw, it was a specialized variant of the standard C-360, distinguished by its fuel-efficient "Perkins" heart.
