C-Man and C-Munger:
I'm a little disappointed. After the big build up for the upcoming announcement regarding Century not one picture posted of the new 'Zetor by Century'. It's the last day of the Tulare, CA show and the second day into the Louisville, KY farm show and still no pictures. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Whasup?

Fellow TNBers
Sorry about the pictures. I have my camera and have taken pictures but I am having software problems transferring them to my laptop. I may need to wait until I get home to use my flash card reader to transfer the pictures. The tractors look great with the Zetor by Century name on them. The grill is/ will now be black. The new name will only be on the tractors with new engine.
Thanks

That Zetor/Century was made up for the Louisville show (The second Largest show in the US) We did have a new 3647, at Tulare Ag Expo (The Largest Farm Show in the US)with the new engine, it got sold and is being delivered today, I don't think the paint had time to dry on that one.

Yes,
The Decals/paint was last minute but was by no means "made up for the Louisville show". It has been in the works for a long time. There were a number of issues/agreements that needed to be worked out. We did not get the final OK until just before the show.
Thanks for all your support

I have included below a few pictures of the Zetor by Century tractors from the Louisville show (C47L, C38L, C35, C47 Logo).
I had a chance to compare all of the compacts at the show. In my opinion, the C-50 loader was second to none.
The "Kukje" tractor appears to be one of the beefier tractors.
It was also interesting to compare the rear ends. I snapped a few pictures of those if anyone is interested.

Sorry about direct posting of the "big" pictures.
I should have included them as attachments.

Jim,

Thanks for posting the pictures. I like to see them like that, so I'll forgive you. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I'm on a dialup at home today, and it didn't take very long to load. Thanks also for posting your impressions.

It's kinda hard to tell, but is that Zetor Red paint?

Chipperman,
I walked past the Zetor display half a dozen times but didn't realize you were there /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
Sorry to have missed talking with you again.
