ZT 300 is a series of 20 kN agricultural tractors, produced from 1 September 1967[2] to 1984 by the VEB Traktorenwerk Schönebeck.

The ZT 300 series tractors design is based on a combination of the frameless block construction for the rear part and a half frame for the front.

The ZT 300 has a three-point-linkage with a lifting force of 17.65 kN and a PTO as well as a hydraulic system.

Starting in 1974, an optimised hydraulic system was used, that automatically increased the weight on the rear axle by slightly lifting the farm implement attached to the three-point linkage, if required.

It can be switched without having to stop the tractor by moving the load stage lever and pressing the clutch pedal.

The front axle is same as in the IFA W50 LA, this results in less ground clearance compared to the rear wheel drive ZT 300 tractors.
