Crystal Tractors?

jd2210 · Feb 20, 2006

I recently saw a picture of a Crystal 169 tractor. It actually lokks pretty cool. I'm guessing it was 100ish HP and had almost a Valtra look to it. Anyone know anything about these tractors? I'm assuming that they are only sold in Europe. Are they affiliated with anyone?

A neighbor imported a used one from Canada, I think they are the higher powered versions of Zetors.

I haven't found much on the Internet, but I think I found the company's website. It's in Polish I think.

Built in Poland. At least some have Deutz engines.

Zetor made chrystals ,better than their other stuff but still a zetor .

If Zetor made it I would not be worried. I owned a Zetor and it was a rock solid basic work horse. I always thought the engine and hydraulics were very strong and the fuel consumption was unbelievably fuel efficent.

The Crystals in question are built in Poland using parts from some pretty prestigious manufacturers. If they can bolt them altogher correctly they'll be good tractors.

The Crystals from Zetor were actualy built by ZTS in Slovakia. They built all the larger Range II Zetors.
