Thank you for your input on my post about Cold Weather On Hydraulic System. Looks like I will not have to worry about my hydraulics freezing up, or being damaged here in Kentucky by from all the post from up north on this issue LOL. One post said that a tractor and loader could be operated in temperatures at a -20 degrees, and would not hurt the hydraulic system, as long as the tractor was warmed up before using it.

thegreatrandini I went with a new 4341.1 Zetor tractor, with cab, with 4X4, with shuttle, and with a 102SL loader. The reason I bought the Zetor tractor and loader is that the first time I saw it, I liked it. It also has a very large cab on it for a 55 PTO horsepower tractor that I really liked. Also, the cab is large enough for a instructional seat that I bought and installed myself. The main thing that I really liked about the Zetor tractor and loader was the price. I checked a lot of different brands of tractors with loaders, and none of the other tractor brand dealers could come near the price that I paid for the 4341.1 Zetor tractor with 102SL loader. I saved $5,000.00 on this Zetor tractor and loader compared to the other brands of tractors and loaders that I checked on. Although, I did find one tractor brand with loader that was a little less than I paid for the Zetor tractor and loader. The tractor brand that I found for a little less than the Zetor was a Foton tractor. After I looked the Foton tractor over, I liked the Zetor tractor much better. It was just a more nice looking tractor overall. The Foton tractor cab was nothing near what the Zetor tractor cab is. The Zetor tractor with cabs will be hard to beat for the price compared to other brands of tractors. So far, I like this Zetor tractor with cab a lot. At the present time, I just have a few hours on the tractor. I am still learning things about the tractor and loader, and I also am learning things from people here on the board about my new Zetor tractor and loader.

Be sure to warm the tractor up before using it in extreme cold and investigate if there are auxiliary heaters available. I've got a transmission heater on mine and it really makes a difference in cold weather performance. Also check the viscosity of the hydraulic oil and if there are cold weather alternatives available
