Bought new 8441 Dec 05 fitted with 120SL Trac Lift Loader & 34inch 16.9rears & whatever the front are to match, oh & 12 speed shuttle gear option, so had it a year now, only done 700hrs mainly with trailed post knocker attached at fast tickover, but done some loader & field work.
Find it a good basic tractor, smokes a little at startup but soon clears, lift arms still the old ball type as on 7711 (which I also own 17 yrs old !) so a little weak if a lot of implement work, & the pin type stabalisers never seem to be just in the right place, lift good though; brakes very good once I backed them off binding.
Could go on more both good & bad but overall quite happy with it for my farming / fencing, 12 speed manual shuttle is excellent, though it does mean only 540 PTO available.
One last thing that has briefly been mentioned on here, the left hand door exploded the other day while it was sat in the yard, why I ask did it wait till a week out of warranty . Wierd.

Phil my door just decided to implode aswell! anyway i havent compalined bout my 11441 in a few months now since she has done very little BUT last week she decided to crack the mesh on the exhaust and now it rattles like mad. will have to get the mig out. AND the badge decided to fall off the front of her too! got it stuck on with sealer though! probably strongest part on the bloody thing! Anyone else with horror stories of relatively new zetors out there?!? surely its not only me!?!?!?!?

Gibson, could you please use a smaller avatar ?? it is a bit big, making the text hard to read for guys that only run 1024x768 pixel screen resolutions...
Forterra 9641 we have had almost 5 years now and its proved a very sound tractor, no significant problems and its done over 2000 hours now.
Running a 8441 proxima on daily loader duties, it does more work in the Summer bale carting and such.
Again, its been faultless apart from a slipping fan belt noticed soon after deliverly about a year ago.

REnze, Yes, it is now 12441. (I don't understand why did they change model so quickly)
Rob: Bouth 11441 and 12441 are now TIER III. Bouth machines has got air to air coolers now.
