ZT 300 is a series of 20 kN agricultural tractors, produced from 1 September 1967^[2] to 1984 by the VEB Traktorenwerk Schönebeck. It succeeded the RS14 Famulus series, and unlike the Famulus, the ZT 300 series was sold under the brand name Fortschritt ("Progress"). ZT 300 refers both to the initial ZT 300 model, and the ZT 300 series. In total, 72,382 units of the ZT 300 series were made. The model with the highest production figure was the ZT 303, which was introduced in 1972. It features an automatic all-wheel-drive system; in the early 1980s, it cost 81,000 Mark. Starting in 1983, the ZT 300 series was succeeded by the ZT 320.
