    news Zetor Utilix 45 and 55, Hortus 65 on Agritechnica

    R we finally going to get the perfect(at least mine)zetor tractor,if they make their own none common rail 6cyl (cheaper to run and repair)and drop it into the 150HD,bringing it to 150-170hp in a relatively compact manoverable package with the inforced cab updates the possibility's are...

    news Zetor Utilix 45 and 55, Hortus 65 on Agritechnica

    There doesn't seem to be any reports anywhere of further development of the pininfarini design....has all that stalled or is it the best kept secret in the trade....on a side note had a Crystal 160 on demo during August....was impressed by its simplicity and raw power but alas the few minor...

    info Zetor engine displacement increase studies

    That is crazy indeed,....look what's happening at John Deere,rightly or wrongly the market leader in most countries,they consulted a lot of there big contractor customers across Europe to develop the 6230R and 6250R,and I even see in farming press today that they r offering a 5 pillar cab on the...

    news Zetor design concept by Pininfarina, on Agritechnica

    I know I'll be accused of being negative and having a rant,but why don't they just buy a tractor from the SDF group altogether and re-badge it,they have their engines,probably a zf backend and now their styling,time they either man up do their own thing or just sell out to the highest bidder

    news Zetor design concept by Pininfarina, on Agritechnica

    No definitely not,they were mitas,John Deere are using mitas on their combines and silage harvesters too,don't think these companies r thinkin they're better rubber just every 1 saved is better for their bottom line and I can only imagine on a set of harvester tyres that saving could be in...

    news Zetor design concept by Pininfarina, on Agritechnica

    U should tell that to the guys that have tried mitas tyres and only gettin 2500-3000hrs out of them that r switching back to Trelleborgs that were doing 6000-8000hrs out of them at the same work,call me old fashioned but I hope they switch back to the Zetor engine across the board,from 3-6cyl...

    news Zetor design concept by Pininfarina, on Agritechnica

    It doesn't look long enough to be the crystal 2,although pictures can be hard to get scale of tractor from,perhaps a 50km box,hence switch from mitas to trelleborgs

    Some Crystal videos on YT

    No to the best of my knowledge that is true,in 1971 a MF 175 had a list price of over 3200,a135 2000,and a Zetor crystal 8011 a list price of 2250,I remember as a kid finding a scrap of paper with all these prices on it,written by my father years previously after the national ploughing match,or...

    news Zetor design concept by Pininfarina, on Agritechnica

    My thoughts exactly,the tractors are already good lookin machines on the outside so let's hope they match the external looks with what's really needed in the cab

    Some Crystal videos on YT

    We all know how 'list prices' r inflated to deceive u into thinking ur getting a great deal for ur old tractor,but here in Ireland that's why zetor was so popular in the 70's,80's and early 90's their price,let me give an example,when the original crystal was introduced it cost the same as a...

    Some Crystal videos on YT

    I agree with everything you said,most 'normal' farmers want a no frills comfortable reliable tractor for long hard days,even rectifying those ergonomic issues Zetor still has a major problem and that's price,in Ireland at the ploughing championships the dealers were quoting 94000 for basic...

    Hi all was at the Irish national ploughing championships yesterday and got to sit in the cab of the new crystal,I have to say the tractor was attracting a lot of attention both good and bad,apart from all the issues mention in this forum about cab layout and design faults there's 1 thing that...

    news New Zetor Crystal... June 25th

    Is that not typical of zetor the last 10yrs,wait 6 months wait until next spring and it doesn't happen,the model they bring out should have been the one before,I'll give u my own example,happy owner of a 8145,7320,10541,when I was looking for a main workhorse at the time zetors best offering was...

    news New Zetor Crystal... June 25th

    In my opinion there's nothing wrong with gearbox or lever position or its movements,it's just to get used to it compared to all the push button electric systems that r out there,at least it falls to hand,unlike some of the other features like the spool valves or hand throttle which u nearly have...

    question Question on 6 cylinder Deutz engine on new forterra's?

    Just in relation to Aaron11441's comments on size,I've read somewhere Zetor are trying to do a 'Skoda' on it,and like skoda did zetor should concentrate on looking after its existing customers needs first instead of trying to play with the big boys in the 200hp class,a lot of farmers r still...
