Zetor posted some pictures from TechAgra on their Facebook page. On one of the pictures we see a Forterra with a new roof and a awful big exhaust. Should this Forterra have more improvements?
This is most likely the Forterra with Zetor TIER 4 Final engine, with SCR. According to tests by Mendel University (agricultural University of CZ ) the fuel consumption is lower than the previous model and they still use a mechanical fuel pump
I havent found the tests, i just report what Zetor is saying in the press release.
So, they finally tidied up the cab interior of the HSX ? Thank goodness...
Oh, and they tidied up the hostess that presents the Zetor by Pininfarina too... This time a well figured woman in a stylish dress... The girl on Agritechica totally didnt fit the "family tractor" image, because the Mrs. would get aggrevated when the husband keeps getting distracted by the scarcely and cheapishly dressed hostess...
Seems as they have up the power aswell a new 140 forterra is 136hp/607nm of torque over the previous 136hp/581nm
And the crystal 160 is up at a maximum of 171hp now aswell
The Crystal is still Stage 3B whilst the Forterra is already Stage 4
....I wonder what will happen with the Crystal... Stage 4 engine with DSG gearbox ? They dont sell big numbers of them yet, so they might as well flex another year with the Crystal in Stage 3B.
I'd really like to see those fuel consumption figures of the new engine... Torque is upped a bit, and they claim to have achieved a 20% increase in fuel economy... whilst the TIER 3A 16V engine was already the one but leanest in its class...
With grand plans to create larger and smaller tractors, news on Zetor’s TechAgro stand this week was headed by the brand’s first Stage IV-compliant tractor.

This article does state that the Stage 4 Forterras are on display. Also talks about the other upcoming ranges of tractors.
A first impression about the Crystal from a leading Dutch magazine.
Guess what ?? "Afknapper" translates as disenchantment. Thats what they call the hydraulic levers.
If they had the side console of the Proxima on it, with 4 external remotes (the HSX and Crystal have only 3) and also the hand throttle on the side console, it would stand better against the competition. Also because the price is only a fraction cheaper than its direct competitors, so its important to put more emphasis on these details, because those are what can make or break a deal, when the price is equal.
