Hello and welcome Timo !

Nice to see you here on Zetorworld.com

Wow! Fantastic collection!

 

[Zetroen]

Nice looking Crystal, wish mine was like that . How is the front lift attached? Is it a ready-made kit or self made or modified?

Zetor forterra 120hsx

I have never seen a 120 HSX. In Ireland your options in HSX is either 130 or like mine a 140. I wonder is there much difference between a 120 and a 140?

 

[timos]

I don't think so, only the engine power as far as I know.

right - it cames with 100 up to 140 hp (Forterra 100, 110, 120, 130 and 140)

It may have come in different sizes when it first came out, but in Ireland in the HSX models, they were only importing a 130 or 140.

 

[Joachim]

Yes, I believe that.
It just depends on what the customer wants. Some people are fine with a large Proxima with 100 HP, others wanted a more stable rear axle and more load capacity, etc. but only wanted 100 HP because it was cheaper than 130 or 140 HP.

Other manufacturers do the same, with series that overlap in terms of pure engine power but are built in chassis of different strengths.
And hey... if you wanted a 100 HP tractor with a suspended front axle, then a Forterra 100 HSX was perfect. You didn't get that with the Proxima.

then a Forterra 100 HSX was perfect. You didn't get that with the Proxima.

I say that would be the case in Ireland, as there isn't many HSX tractors in the country overall. It's not as if everytime I'm out on the road I meet another HSX.

 

[Joachim]

Thats the same in Germany... unfortunately.
