Tractor Rollover with Pics

I've never needed the front pin but being the Zetors are European you can get a front 3 point hitch assy to lift-push-pull.

The Zetor loader breaks out 5K lbs & I used it to lift my skidloader out of the ditch during the last snowfall of the season. I had a 7' blower on the back for ballast.

The thing weighs 4K lbs & I managed to slide off the apron & could not get itself back uphill.

Thanks for the info Barry. Front 3PH makes since. I used my FEL a couple months ago to lift some monster rear tires off of a MF275 that were filled, to put brakes on it. Had to almost go full height to get them off the ground. They made rear very light and front tires sunk in the soft ground. Probably the heaviest thing I've lifted for sure.

Tractors in Europe are often used to transport stuff on four wheel wagons. The front pin is used to hook up the wagons and push them. Some two wheel drive Zetors are (were) available with so called highway gear, air compressor, brake controller for wagon's air brakes, front suspension and four wheel brakes. I don't think those models were imported to the US. My neighbor has two Zetors. They still have air compressors but not the air brake hookup.
