question Zetor/ZTS UR 2 Hitch

[diyfarmer]

The 8045 I collected on Saturday, has an unusual pick up hitch on it. I have never seen this style hitch before. It looks like a Dromone style one and the pick up hook slides in very similar to a Dromone too. But the locking it completely different, but very secure once it's closed. The lift rods look on the light side to me though.

Maybe look like these one in a Zetor 8211-16245 parts book: lower universal suspension


I the eastern world often used for trailers with heavy weights for more traction at rear wheels.


or in UR1 Zetors with the RUR 5 muck spreader or trailers like HTS 30 or HTS 31.04 eg.

Edit: added a picture of a original Zetor/ZTS hitch

They look more like a Dromone hitch, with the locking hooks at the side. The one above is completely different locking as the hooks are higher up than the Dromone style. All my others zetors all have Dromone hitches. My HSX has a Dromone hydraulic telescopic hitch, with a short hook and drawbar.

Looks like a cross between a Dromone and original Zetor pick up hitches, there seems to be elements of both in the design.

There were variations of the zts hitches down through the years. Any I've seen in real life the pick up hook was not removable. The clevis drawbar could be attached with 2 pins underneath and that bracket held by 2 pins either side of the hook like in your photo. Could be got with a wider bracket as well that allows the drawbar to swing. The Dromone pick up hitch the hook is removed to be replaced with the drawbar like in diyfarmer 8045. The slides look like off a Dromone as well. Some of the hitch looks like a Zetor style, but I've never seen the latches done that way.

The hitch on this one was only fitted on tractors in Ireland in the mid 80's before all zetors from then on were fitted with Dromone hitches. These ones were a combi type as they allow you to use the straight bar along with the pick up. Where as the earlier ones were a job and half to swap over from pick up hook to straight bar. My one as above, is the first I ever saw with this style locking mechanism.

Suggestion - write to Dromone and see if they could help you determine the exact type of hitch and maybe even spare parts if you need any.

Be a waste of time, Dromone don't do spare parts for old hitches. I tried them earlier this year. They don't even sell the pick up hooks. I got it from QTP.
