no pics? no dates? electric shuttle sounds good the synchro type is a bit (jumpy) next time zetor should fit a wet - turbo clutch like fendt then zetors would be perfect! nearly all zetor problems come from the brake/clutch/transmission area??? they have (new) gearboxes (new) brakes so turbo clutch is the next step it seems proxima (plus) still has syncro shuttle until 2008N shit! i think the (new) gearboxes are left - overs from the old forterra? the new rear axles look good look much stronger??? we will see if they acctually are! i dont think i will be trading in the (old) 8441 for the plus version just yet not much diference beetween the two? maybe in 2008 i will think about it unless zetor make a proxima (super plus) they have done it before!!! 
i can see what you mean with all those red lever tops and things but if you think a tractor is good because it is ( nice in the cab). then You dont spend much of your own money do you i think you are wrong about turbo clutch i used a fendt last week ploughing for a sick neighbour ( been in hospital brocken 2 ribs and a leg) nasty anyway the turbo clutch made it easy peasy you just put the tractor in low gear open up the revs and off you go no need to use the clutch i was using my own 4 furrow reversible the one i use behind the proxima and i could plough much quicker than with the proxima because i could slow-down the fendt with out using the clutch then when i had turned over the plough i could open up the revs and go again easy but with the proxima i had to stop turn over the plough ( hydraulics a bit slower?than fendt?) then use the clutch to go again every time. just think turbo clutch improves, productivity? there- for profit? torque converter isnt really a clutch at all just two pedals forward and reverse and a gear lever on some loading shovels to go fast , slow, ect.. your next project maybe renze? on the 5245!! you could get a torque converter from a massey ferguson industrial (digger) do you get those over on your side of the puddle? then bolt that on the flywheel make some (adjustments) with the hammer and you are done i dont think it would work with standard zetor gear box?
I didn't mean it. I didn't know being moderator was so hard. Its difficult to know when your not a moderator. All torque converter transmissions in uk have 2 pedals= forward and reverse, exept cars that have only throttle and brake, they are not known as torque converter, but automatic then you have power shuttle type TC just a lever that goes to F and R . i didnt know things were different were you come from.
I should have never told you about turbo clutch. Its becoming a "never ending story". Yes hyster forklifts, the good old days. Most industrial loaders and forklifts in uk are like this; 2 pedals. All the best ones also have torque converters. Anyways i find torque converters slip a lot if you "slam" on a pedal, at high revs. It makes a kind of wooooooosh noise. rather than a normal clutch that just goes bang. Not a very good noise i aggree. But turbo clutch takes up the drive very slowly and smooth, with no noise. but back to the torque converter, Do you really need that much torque on a tractor????. On a loading shovel ok, you have about 15 tons of weight to get traction, But on a tractor you wont get enough traction to get all that torque on the ground???.
