difference between a rts and zau

[buzz36]

size wieght and such i know the rts is a wide front but what are other points i have a chance to pick one up and the R is about as big as I can get weight and size wise

I don't think there would be 500lb difference with the wide front on the R they should weigh close to the same. The R would be more value-able
The zau would have more power with the longer stroke engine. I hope this helps Roger

thanks i think your right after looking it over should be a good buy a the price asking but one thing is it has spoked wheels never seen a MM withthis style wheels before these look earlier MM wheels any ideas one I thought is since its a 43 model year the MM afctory used what they had also think these may reduce the weight then the steel disks

They did not start making the ZAU until 49 So it could be a ZTU. But either way they should not be that much of a difference in auctual tractor weight you might want to consider if it has fluid in the rears or wheel weights on it for added weight The Z will be touch longer and it will depend on wheel spacing for the width but it could be narrowed up with some work.

The R may be more valuable, but in terms of rarity, there are a lot more Rs than Zs out there.
