About the Zetor M88 Series

The Major 80 series has been a Zetor best seller for over 10 years. Our latest version is the Major 88SSC with all-new elegant styling and comfort enhancements. The Major 88SSC is a modern heavy duty utility ag tractor with an all-mechanical transmission. This tractor is built around simplicity, ease of use, fast service work and affordable repairs. Even the engine has been simplified and uses no DEF. The M88SSC features a fully synchronized 12F/12R Shuttle transmission with a 540/1000 independent PTO that’s mechanically engaged. Ground speed PTO is also standard. The transmission and PTO use 11” heavy duty dual ceramic clutch disks as most Major tractors are taking on heavy loader work.

Simple Yet Premium Cab

The cab is designed with regard to practical use, narrow pillars provide great visibility and FOPS (a falling objects protective structure) is built in. The side and rear windows open to allow for ventilation. Front and rear wipers come standard. A ventilating canopy window comes standard that allows you to see your front attachments when at max lift height. Excellent heat & A/C is built in, overall the cab is very high quality, but not overly luxurious, there’s not a lot of electronic controls or fancy touch screens. Instead the controls are more mechanical making it much easier to maintain and work on.

Comfortable Ergonomic Design

The suspension seat is super comfortable, it has arm rests and is fully adjustable. There’s a heel operated diff lock pedal, storage cubbies and a buddy seat. The steering wheel does tilt, on the steering column there’s a throttle lever, forward/reverse lever, turning signals, light switches, a digital display and A/C controls. All of the controls are right there at your fingertips making the M88SSc a  snappy tractor to operate.

Plenty of Lights

There are plenty of lights mounted on the cab, you have brake lights, hazards, turning signals plus high and low beam headlights. Basically you will have lights pointing in every direction, full 360 degree coverage.
