UTB 650 tractor, Hachette/IXO, 1:43, multicolored

The UTB 650 is one of the most recognized tractors in Eastern Europe, produced by Uzina Tractorul Brașov (UTB) in Romania. Designed for reliability, versatility, and durability, the 650 series became a common sight on farms across the Eastern Bloc from the 1960s through the late 20th century. Its straightforward mechanics and robust build made it a favorite for generations of farmers.

This 1:43 scale model, produced by IXO for Hachette, faithfully captures the rugged charm of the original machine in miniature. With its multicolored finish, visible engine detail, and realistic proportions, it’s a standout piece for collectors of vintage agricultural or Eastern European vehicles.

The model was part of the Hachette “Kultowe Traktory” (Cult Tractors) collection, published in Poland, which celebrated iconic farming machines from around the globe. These models, released in limited runs, became popular among collectors for their blend of historic significance and display-worthy quality.

A must-have for enthusiasts of farming history, Cold War-era machinery, or regional collectibles — the UTB 650 brings character, color, and a piece of rural heritage to any 1:43 scale collection.
