question New Zetor Forterra M 2017 (CL / HSX) experiences?

[forterra9641]

if he keeps getting the beeping noise, he is misusing the tractor, jut use either the powershuttle lever or the clutch button and there is no problem taking off, the beeping comes on if you are using the clutchpedal at high revs fr over 20 sec. its not a problem just learn to disconnect your left foot and keep it in the floor. the dpf in the old ones is often replaced with a service filter or just smashed out the internals of the filter. the new ones with adblue has active regeneration wich is a much more reliable system. im getting my new one from the factory at oct 24.

Yes it will be like driving an automatic car and I'm looking forward to have it for hedge cutting, all the F/R changing that has to be clutched before now just power shuttle. can the glass hatch in the roof be opened or is it fixed?

 

[forterra9641]

the hatch does not open. not on the one ive ordered but ive seen crystal with this hatch open,but they have a slightly different roof.
its a big advantage with the powershuttle on zetors that you can just lift the lever to declutch you dont have to put it in neutral like almost any other brand.

So a driving lesson then: your on the road coming up to a T junction, you are turning right you can see theres nothing coming so you don't have to stop. you slow down take foot off the throttle, as about to turn out on to the road a car comes and you have to stop. do you a) press the clutch pedal, b) lift the power shuttle lever, c) press the button on the gear stick?

either b or c. c if you have to downshift to get going again.

it rotates the pto as long as its pressed. it does not stop a running pto.

So I read in the manual that the pto can be turned off by lifting the 3pl arms up high and turns on again by lowering them, so if you were using a slurry spreader for example when its full I can press the button on the mudguard and lift the arms up to the top and knock off the pto from outside the tractor. am I correct?

Learn something every day never though of using the f/r lever to change gear got rid of last Zetor cause the tractor would not engange gear quick enough so and dealer tried every thing .on the cab front the cab we found used to rock like a noddy dog on the road so may be they change something in that department .

I was back at Zetor 's HQ in Ireland today and they were after getting in a shipment of new tractors so no shortage of new Zetors now but they were all only Proxima, different models 80, 100, and 120 with ad blue and front linkage according to the bloke unloading them they are now the best seller for them at the moment. Maybe this model will keep them a float as sales dive for the bigger ones?

Jorgen, did you say no EGR on the Tier4 engine ?

So I own a HSX 140 a month now and she's fine tractor, getting used to not putting my foot on the clutch pedal at all. Have even started to teach the wife how to drive it too.

 

[diyfarmer]

Thanks to Zetor Ireland for the goodie bag for Christmas. My wife even found something fancy in it too.

First day I worked the my hedgecutter on the HSX, it was well able for it anyway, and so after a long day it was great to not have to be clutching at all time,

 

[diyfarmer]

I don't know why a hedge cutter contractor sold his HSX after only 1 year saying it was not suitable for hedge cutting.

I think its a lovely tractor for the job. and so easy with the power shuttle and power shift.

The guy was probably driven crazy by the beeper because he had his foot on the clutch pedal all day..

The guy was not the only person to change brand zetor only sold 45 tractors i think in the uk last year while in ireland about 20 units that's what happens when you ignore your customers

Give Zetor a chance with the new upcoming Forterra (called series 6) - I think they made some things better. And no one is helped with a world with less and less tactor manufactors...

Other companys need also years to hear theyr customers, like CaseIH in the late 90s - dont forgett that, and CaseIH was much bigger with much more money in the back hand.

Update for this post. I have the tractor 7 years now, still love driving it. Hedgecutting is very comfortable, a long day at silage is not as tiring as when I used to drive ZTS. I still haven't use all the functions it has, but does everything I will ever need. In all the time I have it, I never seen it in pieces. It has had a few problems but never seen in half or the insides of her. I have driven a newer one again, but not planning on changing anytime soon. As I bought land since.
