Minneapolis-Moline ZA

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Minneapolis-Moline ZA is a utility tractor known for its simple and robust design. It features a 2WD configuration on a 4x2 chassis. The tractor is powered by a 206 cubic inch, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled Minneapolis-Moline 206B-4 gasoline engine with a rated RPM of 1500 and a displacement of 206 ci. Although the horsepower is not specified, the large bore and stroke dimensions suggest it is capable of handling a variety of tasks. The ZA sports a 5-forward and 1-reverse unsynchronized gear transmission and uses a dry disc clutch. With a height up to the steering wheel of 78 inches and a ground clearance of 25 inches, the tractor functions well for a range of field activities with its ample clearance and utility-focused design. Operating weights range from 3750 to 4290 pounds, indicative of a solidly built machine suitable for diverse agricultural purposes. Tire configurations vary between models, with the ZAU having a front tire specification of 5.50x16 and the ZAE model accommodating larger front tires. Details on the PTO system, hydraulic type, and hitch specifications are not provided, so functionality in these regards would be subject to further research or direct inspection of the tractor.
