Zetor News

What's up at Zetor and Zetor dealers?
http://www.zetorna.com/new-dealer-opportunities https://web.archive.org/web/20120119172629/http://www.zetorna.com/new-dealer-opportunities They seem to refocus on the NA market... Zetor NA now covers not just the USA but Canada as well, and is looking to dense their dealer grid (or that is: put up new outposts ;) ) Anyways they have their act together in the 70-120hp market which means the models are ripened in farm practice in Europe, enough to send them out to remote areas of America with just a few dealers.

Are they going to get the Forterra Power 125 and 135 with ZF rear end with powershuttle out, as promised ? ...If they ARE going to use that ZF rear end in a complementary Power series, i hope they have improved the rear axle: Those ZF rear axles of the Fendt 500 series just broke off when...
I havent heard much lately, not even from the website of the development bureau of Zetor (which sometimes accidently post some bits of info) nor anything else. About the speculation about the ZF transmission being used, ZF is buying clutch packs from BorgWarner, where Zetor can also shop, as they already have a good transmission factory. Graziano of Italy also builds powershift clutchpacks, with which Zetor has a long lasting relationship as they began buying synchromesh rings from them in 1992. The clues Zetor publiced, which could only lead to the ZF speculation, may be just a distraction and they are developing their own transmission with bought in components ? I cant imagine ZF can do it cheaper than Zetor, but i can imagine...
finally with powershuttle: the prototype has been showed and discussed at the dealer conference. Dont know when they go into production, and when more models follow. Video gelöscht. source: Nový Zetor PROXIMA - Stránky 3 - Nasetraktory - http://www.nasetraktory.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?p=99910#p99910
i hadnt checked the Agrostroj Pelhrimov website for some months so i did. I saw that it was under reconstruction, and that a Trac-lift logo was showed on the site. Did these companies join forces ? I think its a great idea for them to join forces on the export markets. They both produce exceptional value for money, but just lack the proper dealer support. With 1 product name, marketing cost is cut in half... I just think that Agrostroj Pelhrimov should change their trade name a bit, to make it pronouncable by foreigners ;)
Hannes Drechsler, chief of Zetor Trade, said in an interview with Profi 2/2005, that Zetor will introduce their orchard and vineyard tractors of 50-80 hp, a heavy duty compact of 45 hp and a 3 cylinder Proxima of 55 hp. I think that 3 cylinder proxima is old news, as Zetor withdrew the 5441 from actual production, while it was mentioned on early sales literature. He also mentioned a heavy range of 140-180 hp so the original intentions of 155 and 170 hp have moved, upward as well as downward in HP range. With the new 16 speed Proxima gearbox, which is split in two compartments, Zetor made it easy to build the compacts on the basic gearbox and rear end of the standard farm tractors, they can just design a shorter first compartment, to...
Does anyone have any new rumors about the Zetor Maxterra range, which is to be produced from 2009 ? A 24/24 gearbox with 4 powershift steps and powershuttle, and 40 speeds if fitted with optional crawl gears, doesnt that sound a lot like the ZF 7000 series transaxles ?? http://www01apps.zf.com/kst827/ZF_ProduktDB/produkt_app_print.asp?bgcolor=0&langID=2&doSendAnwend1=1&anwendID=12&doSendAnwend11=1&anwend11ID=null&doSendBereich=1&bereichID=null&doSendProd1=1&prod1ID=6&doSendProd2=1&prod2ID=143&doSendProd21=1&prod21ID=null&doSendUnterEbene=1&unterebeneID=null&doSendProdTech=1&prodtechID=1 The ZF transaxles are efficient and durable, though many tractor producers that used them right from the start, Deutz and Steyr, had trouble with...
This is the English verzion of the article we were trying to translate last year: http://node1.bvv.cz/i2000/Akce/b-agro.nsf/WWWAllPDocsID/BEXP-5XJLAJ?OpenDocument&LANG=GB&NAV=1&ID=0 It says that they are developing new tractors up to 160 hp to be introduced in 2006.... we will see... Also, it was in the news that there is a new subcompact coming from Zetor: with or without co-operation with a foreign company... ?? There were also rumors of a new vineyard and orchard version of the UR1 series. The 5441 Proxima was advertised but disappeared before the proxima series was actually sold. I suppose they wait to put that 3 cylinder UR3 engine in that subcompact/orchard/vineyard tractor alone. Also official news is that the Proxima is the...
Hey guys i found this article: http://www.agroweb.cz/projekt/clanek.asp?cid=17275 I translated parts of it, word by word, using slovnik.cz translation. It seems to say: ====..The Proxima range has wet lamella brakes for the 40 km/h version. A 50 km/h version will need front axle brakes to comply to the legislations.... (But will there ever BE a 50 km/h version ???) About the rumor about the Forterra range being lifted up to 160 hp making use of a new Zetor engine, Chief director of Zetor, ing. Vratislava Goje, says that we can welcome the new range of tractors within 2 years. The new engine will also be fitted in the Forterra range.??? For the models of 120 hp model 11741, this will make it unncessary to fit the Italian Same engine...
When I went to pick up my parts order from the Zetor dealer he told me what I already suspected-he was giving up the Zetor franchise to stick with Motokov UK and Landini! We will now have Zetors imported by a new company-Zetor UK hurrah!!! Lets hope they make it work. My ex-dealer told me he could still supply parts for me.The look on his face when I told him I could get my own parts from Slovakia and that I had got myself a parts catalogue was priceless;);)
folks, I have some updates and more details about the new Proxima range. The transmissions, apparently, are not UR3 Forterra based ones. The basic version comes with the classic UR1 10 forward / 2 reverse gearbox as known from the Super series. Another version is a 12/12 with shuttle reverser, maybe they have changed the reverse gear for an extra forward gear ?? the top version, not ready yet but coming, is 16/16 with two speed powershift. I doubt if that rumor about the UR3 rear end has any truth.. i think i was misinformed:(:sneaky:
