In Reply to: Talk Me Out of Buying a ZETOR posted by Lanse on February 06, 2017 at 18:39:22:

i worked for a dealer that sold zetor many years ago. they were an old time case dealer case took away the franchise in the early 70s. one of their suppliers had some English and Italian tractors so when the oil prices went up and the farm prices went bad thy sold a lot of them. after the English and Italian tractors went by the wayside they sold zetors. the zetors were the easiest tho fix the other ones had complex engine and transmission repair procedures. as for parts zetor has two large parts depots on in texas and one in pennsylvnania. anyone could call out to pennsylvnania to get parts or tech. advice the dealers got a price break. one thing the zetors used a lot of the same parts in most of their models.on the brakes and clutch master and slave cylinders the rubber parts couldnt stand the coid minnesota winters and leak but they were easy to replace. a 7711 would have a long steering cylinder on the side they were power assist if its leaking i wouldnt by it they are tricky to fix. as for resale the salesman had a sales pitch that went something like resale didnt matter because you didnt have to put as much money in the purchase. now the local dealers are trading those english and italian tractors in on CIH and deere tractors so they are only worth scrap price and what ever it cost to haul them to the salvage yards so the resale value is gone. but the zetors are tough tractors some of the ones they sold are taking a lot of abuse. i guess if you by one dont trade anything that has any value and run it till the wheels fall off

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
