question Zetor 7211 - Hydraulic oil capacity ??

[Edward Branecky]

I have acquired a zetor 7211 and was wondering is that correct the hydraulic and gearbox system holds 25.6 gallons. Seems like a lot for this size of tractor. Thanks

Hello!

Although I cannot confirm your tractor's specific values, it's quite common for such machines to require a lot of oil in the common reservoir for hidraulics/gearbox.

Zetor 7340, for instance, which is not that bigger than 7211, uses 32 Liters.
And there are several models from other branches which easily fit more than 25 Liters for smaller tractors, like 45~60 Hp.

And please keep in mind an observation included on user's manuals : if you often use the tractor on high inclination terrain, always keep the oil levels higher than the recommended, so to avoid any kind of no-liquid-but-air or even dry system.

Ok thanks, using the GL4 oil it will cost almost more than I gave for the tractor

25.6 US gallons = 96.9 liters. This number can't be correct.
I just checked the user manual for 7211, and it says minimum 25 liters (6.6 US gallons), and up to 32 liters (8.5 US gallons) if operating in slopes.

Great, thank you so much. I figured that to be a lot of oil, but you never know. I have to order the oil so need to know how much before I drain. Thanks again

Thank you!

Yeah, crap.. I have completely ignored the fact you wrote GALLONS, not the LITERS I have used as reference.

I believe this is where Edward may have found some info about his 7211:

A few weeks ago I changed the Gearbox/Hydraulic Oil and Filters on my 3340.
The Magnet Filter by the pump looked like it had never been cleaned.

 

[Edward Branecky]

I bet mine hadn't been cleaned either. It says on the back of tractor every 300 hrs. Mine has 900 but tach is not working

 

[jcataclism]

Oh, yeah. Surprisingly easy job to do, in my opinion.

Why you guys use sites like tractor data, instead of the original free to use for everone Zetor tractor manuals ?

FAQ - Manuals for Zetor tractors

Due to the legal situation with the provision of operating instructions for Zetor tractors, there is "only" a link here, but to the official Zetor website. There you will find most of the operating instructions that exist for Zetor tractors and in many languages as well. So click on the...

I never will understand why people give money for the machine, but wouldnt download or buy the manual for. Its for me the first I will do after or bevore I buy a machine. The same with spare parts books... that make things so much easier in work with and service the machine.

AND
Please do not mix a Zetor 7211 with a Zetor 7340 - they have other filters, so the service work will not be the same. 7211 do not have a filter at front left side of the motor.
