Brno, February 21, 2013 – This week ZETOR TRACTORS a.s., a well-established producer of agricultural machinery, is beginning serial production of its new tractor Zetor Major.

Zetor Tractors a.s. recently received the prestigious Zlatý klas s kytičkou 2012 and Zlatý kosák 2012 awards for its new Zetor Forterra HSX Series tractor exhibit.

Brno, 17 July 2012 – This year’s new model, the Zetor Forterra HSX, entered serial production in June. The first finished tractors are heading to the USA. Orders for the new line have also been coming in from the Czech Republic, England, Holland, and Poland. The first Zetor Forterra HSX tractor left the assembly line on June 25. Among the model’s main innovations is the power shuttle feature, which greatly contributes to the increased comfort of the tractor operator.

The new Forterra HSX is the most advanced tractor series we ever built. The HSX series is powered by the new 16-valve, high torque, high efficiency engine. Independent tests show that the new Zetor engine is one of the most fuel-efficient engines ever designed for a tractor. At today's fuel prices, this represents fuel savings of $2 to $3 per hour over an average engine of this size.

The Zetor Forterra 135 model with the new 16 valve engine is not only recognized by industry experts but also by professional farmers who use it daily. Actual data received from American farmer, M. Harper- Ky, praises the low fuel consumption.

Zetor Forterra tractors have traditionally been used for tillage by demanding professional farmers. No wonder, Zetor is the first tractor brand in the world introducing the new revolutionary "Hitchtronic" system. The new system employs intelligent software which continuously adjusts the three-point hitch, reacting to ever-changing soil conditions much faster than any other system currently in use. Expect increased productivity by up to 5% or more and reduced fuel consumption with less effort than ever before.

Zetor North America (ZNA) is one the most noticed tractor lines with aggressive models built to go to work! What we mean here is, this is the one to take out of the barnyard and work like a rented mule all day long, then do it again tomorrow! With a reputation of durability, low maintenance costs and industry high fuel efficiency, this is a tractor purchase which will pay for itself many times over! 

The book is an illustrated history of Zetor. An account of the impressive development of Czech engineering and one of the best known Czechoslovakian industrial groups, Zbrojovka Brno, tells the fascinating story of how an arms manufacturer in Brno, the “Manchester” of Moravia, turned to a tractor maker after World War II.

The Zetor Group, traditional Czech manufacturer of tractor machinery, achieved in the first half of the year 2011 consolidated profit before tax in the amount of CZK 54 million. However, the most important reward was the success in a tough test conducted by the German Agricultural Society (DLG), according to which the Zetor Forterra 135 with a new 16-valve engine is one of the most fuel-efficient tractors on the market.

The Zetor Forterra 135 tractor with a new 16-valve engine has won one of the most prestigious awards in a tough test conducted by the German Agricultural Society (DLG).
