question 15 years and still learning

[big_orn]

Well - I've been a member here for 15 years. Great place. Great folks.
I have learned that a Zetor tractor is one tough hunk of machinery. Folks around here never heard of them and then when they watch what it can do, they never forget it.
I have also learned how to replace brakes, master cylinders, slave cylinders and door glasses real well...

And I have learned how to replace seals, bearing and O-rings in the front axle.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Wow your a member here 2003, back then I wouldn't have even known what the internet was. But I did my learning driven Zetors too, I had an 8045 with a Keltec cab back then.

Big orn,

Long time since ive heard of you: i see you upgraded to a 6341 ?

Hello diy farmer and Renze.
Yes 15 years. Time sort of slips away. And yes a 6341. Tough tractor.
Many hard hours on it and still going strong.

Thanks Big Orn, and hopefully many happy years of knowledge and learning to come for everyone.

I bought a new 6341/with loader in April 2003. It has been a great tractor. Have used it hard. The problem we have here in Ohio is the lack of dealers. I hope Zetor NA will get that situation corrected. I have been on this site ever since I bought the tractor, but never can remember my log in, so I just made up a new one.

This is the problem in a lot of countries including Ireland where their dealers have vanished, leaving customers or potential customers screwed.

We lost a good dealer in Naples, Texas. I drive all the way to Carthage Texas now to get large items and have them mail the smaller ones.
My neighbors can't even say "ZETOR " correctly, but they do brag on it...

And it will be the same here too. With them decided not to show their new tractors till 2019, Zetor in Ireland are becoming like the sugar factories a distance memory.
