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.

The new Major series utility tractors combine Zetor's legendary large capacity, high torque, extremely fuel-efficient engines with a new 12/12 fully synchronized transmisson with synchro shuttle.

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.

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.
