“Farmer”-UAZ is a cargo-and-passenger modification of the legendary “loaf” (UAZ-3303), characterized by a 4 × 4 wheel arrangement and the presence of an onboard tent body for transportation of various types of cargo. According to the manufacturer, this car is capable of driving on all types of roads, whether it is an asphalt road, rural primer or rough terrain.
Design
In fact, the modification "Farmer" is the same "Loaf", only with a cargo body from the 3303rd UAZ. On the exterior and modern lines here you can not even remember. What can you do, the entire model range of cars of the Ulyanovsk plant was once intended exclusively for the needs of the Soviet Army, therefore, first of all, technical equipment was valued here, and nobody really thought about the exterior. By modern standards, the “Farmer” UAZ has been outdated by at least 30 years. Interestingly, over the entire period of production, neither he nor the Loaf have ever undergone changes externally.
Salon
"Farmer"-UAZ is able to comfortably accommodate up to 5 people. True, “with comfort” - it is said too loudly for this truck. Still, inside is not as comfortable as in the Mercedes Vito, but there are no conveniences here. Between the first and second row of seats, the manufacturer placed a special window partition, and a small table is installed in the center of the cabin.
It is also impossible not to note the presence of a new stove, which turned out to be much more powerful than on standard UAZs of the 3303rd model. It is simply impossible to freeze in winter in such a cabin, and this is especially true for residents of the northern latitudes, where, in fact, it is operated for the most part. Inside there is a lot of free space, and even in the back row you do not feel sandwiched between the walls of the cabin.
UAZ "Farmer": engine characteristics
Until recently, a truck with a carburetor fuel supply system was installed on the truck , but due to its environmental friendliness, it was replaced with a new 4-cylinder injector engine UMZ-4213 with a capacity of 99 horsepower. It is produced by the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant. According to environmental standards, it fully complies with the Euro-2 standard. Paired with the engine, a mechanical four-speed gearbox works. It is not known what gear ratio it should have if, according to passport data, it accelerates the car to 127 kilometers per hour. And why such a speed, if the car will be operated on the road?
In the near future, the Ulyanovsk manufacturer does not plan to change the 4-speed “mechanics” to any other, and even more so to install a “automatic” box on the “Farmer” -UAZ. Regarding the power units, too, no changes will be made, at least in the next 2-3 years.
UAZ "Farmer": price
The initial cost of a new light truck is 437 thousand rubles. In principle, for a truck equipped with all-wheel drive, this is quite an acceptable cost, but if you focus on the “modern” design and the “innovative” UAZ interior, then it definitely does not cost that much money.
