question Zetor 5011 Lift Questions

[Travis43]

I just got an Agripower 5000 and I'm trying to get it back in service. I've already found a lot of information on here and will be using the brake repair video pinned to the top soon.

My biggest issue right now is the 3 point settles and then jerks back up. Sometimes it will nearly bring the front tires off the ground. I assume the lift cylinder is leaking past the seals ans needs redone. Is there a way to access the lift cylinder without pulling the cab?

Hello and welcome Travis!

Would be nice to see some pictures from the here in Europe not often to Agripower 5000 (Zetor 5011).

Your hydraulic trouble is in most cases easy to fix - there are just to change some rubber seals at the inner hydraulic cylinder + a new paper seal and 2 new rubber (silicon) and copper seal rings. Not a big thing.

But... if that problem exists a longer time, then it can be its more to change like the complete hydraulic cylinder.
You have first to open it, take a look at the parts and then change the damaged ones.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to figure out how to post pictures. I'm familiar with rebuilding hydraulic cylinders but I'm wondering if there is a way to get to it without pulling the cab off?

• Remove the handbrake cable and PTO cable
• Remove the hydraulic lever console
• Remove the rear lower window with the metal frame
• Unscrew the rear lower floor panel and then tilt it forwards towards the steering wheel with the seat on it and support it

Then you can get to it from behind with a workshop crane and remove the heavy cover with the hydraulics. Not complicated, but a lot of work.


I had dismantled the cabin for other reasons (rust and welding as well as new paint )

Thats the info I needed. Thanks. Hopefully it goes as easy as it sounds. I'll probably tear into the right brake at the same time.
