    Was one of the local garages at the weekend and spotted one of these Zetor Major 80 tractors.
    The father seemed impressed enough and they seem fairly strudily built. any one here got any experience of them, we've an Ursus 475 2wd at the moment, its grand a basic but we were looking at upgrading to 4wd at sometime in the future, we only do bales and and we've a loader thats probably pushing the 2wd too hard at the moment.

    Know nothing about them, but if I was in your shoes I'd ask about the clutch? It's a good idea to have an oil clutch on a 4wd with a loader.

    yea I thought that alright, thing is the old lad is totally anti anything that looks modern and as he does most of the feeding for me I'd hate to see him in a NH or MF...I'd imagine he'd have a few dents in the sheds not to mind the tractor

    Sales guy said they might be a bit light with the loader and to maybe look at the proxima instead. I'd rather spend the money elsewhere but alot to be said for having a machine strong enough for lifting around those fusion bales

    neighbour has a proxima, goes very well for him but has a dry clutch and only lasted 1700 hrs with loader work

    could feed 300 bales and a hundred acres of pit in the winter, it wouldnt really have a hard life but it would be in everyday use

    Fendt have become half Zetor !

    Never had one but several around us did and I can understand the appeal

    Zetor Major was €31k inc vat

    http://m.independent.ie/business/farming/new-lowtech-zetor-major-will-benefit-familysized-operations-29198156.html

    That is an astonishing price.

    Deutz engines and power shuttle were on the way, the crackers actually did it.
