I have a 1996 Zetor 8540 and it's engine has four glow plugs. It starts easily even at under -10 celsius. This tractor also has old type front axle and I have not bad thing to say about it.

Zetor went to Carraro because their own axles were too expensive: They are allmost wheel loader axles, with a huge overcapacity. I havent heard bad about the Carraro, but the general opinion is that Zetors axles were beefier.

there is nothing wrong with the carraro axels they are just as strong as the zetor original axels. but the originals are good axels if you remember to change oil an grease the joints
