Zetor launched some upgrades and new tractors at Techagro in Brno, Czech Republic. The biggest attraction was the upgraded Major model series featuring a new design. The design, developed for Zetor by the Pininfarina studio of Italy, emphasises the dynamics and power of the tractor and shows that design can be both attractive and practical.

The relocated front headlights now illuminate a greater working area in front of the tractor and the unique hood angle ensures greater visibility of the working area around the tractor, providing the operator with a better view during loader work.

The tractor features an upgraded braking system and now comes with a sensor that disengages the PTO when the operator leaves his seat. All seats are equipped with safety belts.

The tractor cabin is also more comfortable – the air-suspended swivel seat takes operator’s comfort to a new level. Customers can look forward to the launch of the MAJOR HS and CL in summer 2018.

Utilix and Hortus

The new Utilux and Hortus tractors made their Czech debut at Techagro. These 40hp- to 70hp-range tractors were added to the Zetor portfolio in late 2017.

Their size makes them ideal for agriculture, farms, municipal services, plant cultivators and garden centres, as well as hobby farmers. Sales of the tractors will begin during the second quarter of this year.

“Machines in this power range account for 20% of total European sales. This is why Zetor has launched two new tractor models in four specifications – the Utilix HT 45, Utilix HT 55, Hortus CL 65 and Hortus HS 65,” said executive director of Zetor tractors Marián Lipovský.

The new products are compatible with Zetor system front loaders, which were also on display at Techagro, including the ZC series designed specifically for the Utilix model series.
