In an interview about its move to new premises in Kalisz, Zetor Poland spoke of a market launch of the new Series 6, which has already been regularly photographed as a prototype, in 2025. And mentioned in passing the new Series 4 and Series 5 series that will follow.

Since the new Series 6 is supposed to have 126 to 171 hp, one can only guess.

• Series 5 = new Proxima?
• Series 4 = new Major?

The step would only be logical, since Zetor has not been building its own engines and transmissions since September 2024, a new replacement for the Proxima is urgently needed.

But when will the new big Zetor finally arrive - a Zetor Series 7 (Zetor Rada 7)?
As heirs to the Maxterra and Crystal, with 6 cylinder Deutz and ZF transmission...

It will be interesting to see what happens.

What do you mean, "drops"?
Usually drops means no longer happening. As in they have dropped the idea of building 4 and 5 series.

When I say "drops" I mean that someone has something dropped - a comment/saying, something has been revealed.
And since Zetor Poland is one of the usually very well-informed circles among Zetor importers, the 4 and 5 series can be considered fairly certain.

It's only logical if you call the new series the 6 series (Rada 6) and announce that you want to reintroduce this naming scheme, so that after replacing the previous Forterra series, the Proxima will also be replaced and renamed. And the same should apply to the Major, which will then be the 4 series in the future.

Since the Major is already made up of Deutz and Carraro with a dash of Zetor, it will probably mutate into the 4 series more quickly than the Proxima. There has been no sign of the 5 series so far, but here too it will probably be a Deutz engine, ZF transmission and Carraro front axle.

I'll use my crystal ball:
Zetor Primus = Zetor Series 1 = Zetor Rada 1
Zetor Utilix = Zetor Series 2 = Zetor Rada 2
Zetor Hortus = Zetor Series 3 = Zetor Rada 3
Zetor Major = Zetor Series 4 = Zetor Rada 4 (or Zetor 4060 and Zetor 4080 maybe ?)
Zetor Proxima = Zetor Series 5 = Zetor Rada 5
Zetor Forterra = Zetor Series 6 = Zetor Rada 6 (or Zetor 6120 to Zetor 6170 maybe ?)
Zetor Crystal = Zetor Series 7 = Zetor Rada 7 (or Zetor 7170 to Zetor 7240 maybe ?)

I think the new naming scheme is pretty clear what series means what older model name.


But the really hot question is when will the large series that has been "lost" since the Maxterra come? Formerly Crystal, and new Series 7/Rada 7
With 6 cylinder Deutz, ZF transmission, Carraro front axle or maybe even ZF front axle and 170 to 240 (?) HP...

I hope they have a better hand with the Series 7 than with the somewhat unfortunate Crystal, but at the same time have just as good marketing as when the Crystal was released.
