How many hours in year are you doing with your tractor ?
What kind of work are doing mainly ?

I am doing in year about 250 hours, mainly field works, ploughing, cultivating, seeding and spraying.

 
Hi,

Normal year about 2500 hrs but this last year they will do over 3000 hrs each. Mainly hauling dumptrailers and a lot of road work with it. Muck shifting on building sites and hauling stone back is normal daily work for me.
 
For last year:

- ploughing, slurry spreading, bale carrying, haymaking, earthmoving with the 5245 about 250 hrs a year.
- about 100 to 150 hrs a year on the 6718 driving a stationary irrigation pump, contract hauling, mowing, general PTO work.
- about 70 hrs on the Deutz D50 for haymaking, hauling and loader work.

Next year:
- 300 hrs with the 5245 because i am mounting an industrial front loader on it.
- the 6718 will do about 100 hrs (depending on summer drought)
- the recently bought 2011 will do about 70 hrs haymaking, stable manure spreading, and general hobby use ;)
- The D50 will retire from the loader, and i expect it to make about 30 hours just in general.
 
Harrowing, manure injection, earthmowing, transport, rotating sawing system, snow works, sanding roads and cultivating. About 250 to 300 hours in a year. (ZTS 14245) This is getting more work and hours at this year.

Seeding, ploughing, cutting hay (silage), wrapping, spraying, transport, light earth mowing, snow works and spreading muck about 800 hours in a year. (Zetor 7745 Jubile)

Forestry works, silage transport, lumber transport, lifting work, silage baling, rotating Murska crimber mill, etch about 300 to 400 hours in a year. (Zetor 6245)

Cattle feeding works only about 400 hours in a year (MF 165 mp)

Digging, loaderworks, contracting and snow works. About 200 to 250 hours in a year. (MF 60H digger)


 
Markku, have you already seen new Proxima? You are very wellcome to have a test drive... We will also have new forterra 11441 in couple of weeks...
 
Yes,

I will visit there sometimes when i have time. I am interested about 11441 Forterra because our 6245 is getting really too weak for fullday working. We can buy new one this year, because we are going to building 2 new cattle shields and our moneys are going those projects!! but maybe next year.......

Saku did gave me "prochyr" about new forterra series in Turku last autum. It looks really promizing for our use.

Unless there will be presented new 160hp range, then we consider tractor like that...


 
Do you know Zetori-saku personally? He has got unbelievable knowledge and experience of all zetors. I can claim that he is top 5 zetor expert in world. Unfortunately he doesn't speak english at all, otherwise this forum could be much more professional than now (I'm not claiming about this sites members, but Saku is something...)

He has got over 20000 spare part items in his stock and he claims that he can identify all of them with blind eyes...

You probably know the transmission problem (sifts 2 gears at same time) with older zetor URI-range. Guess who taught to Zetor-factory how to repair it without taking gearbox to pieces...
 
I have met Saku couple of times, But I do regularly some sparepart orders from his company. So i cant say i know him "personally" but as business partner.

Yes, he has allways had straight reply for all questions about Zetors and ZTS i have presented to him. And if i do sparepart order to Kesko, it takes 1 hour least, but if i do that to saku it takes 2 minutes on the phone!

Ive been lucky.... I didnt order nothing bigger for zetors last year, only fillters etch. and something little, like fans and multi-funktion switch for signal and lights... :)

You must start bending saku for english lessons ;)
 
Markku, now we have T-shirts for zetorlovers. Please visit
http://www.zetra.fi/zetor_paidat.html

That "jrkimiehen valinta" is finnish and means something like this: "Choise of a reasonable man"
 
Nice T-shirts Hogi!

How about you offering to send a T-shirt to the members of the forum in return for a gift from their area/region/country?

I wpuld send you a "wee sup of poteen".
Poteen = moonshine...180 proof liquor!

How about it?

Tom, it is a good idea to change t-shirts. But the problem is that the t-shirt business isn't actually our companys business, my brothers girlfriend takes care (and profit) of it. So they aren't so cheap for me either...
 
What the hell...it was worth a try anyway!

(I must tell you about the story when I swaped local delicacies with a Swedish counterpart - he got a bottle of poteen and I got salted herrings! I'm still trying to work out who got the best deal;))
