Zetor 7341

ZJ_HR · Oct 5, 2003

From every tractors here, allmost half of them are Zetors. A relative has 6211 with cab, and had it turned over few times. They are good on flat terrain, as Czech Republic is, but be carefull on slopes. That was reason why people in hills not buy them, and buy Universal (or Longtrac therein US) instead of it. Idea of my reply was just warning, and not to be critic to brand choice.

Around here the 6000 would be closest in price and horsepower, which was more tracor than I need and more money than I wanted to spend, so I went with the 4500. Chet

The 6211 is no longer available in the states. I am not familiar with it. If the wheels are loaded and set in the outboard position they are quite stable. Yes, some tractors will do better on severe slopes but set up properly the Zetor is very stable. Sorry to hear your relative turned his over. I do not think Landtrac currently has a comparable tractor to the 4341 in the states.
Thanks

Chipperman,

Here nobody uses loaded tires. Even for plowing. Maybe rear wheels weights, sometimes.
Good hydraulic system can add enough load to rear axle for plowing.
As we have narrow field roads, sometimes looking like a canyons, in 99% of cases 1410mm (55 1/2 in) rear wheels track is used (factory settings).

I know that UTB (Landtrac) can't be compared to x21/41 series, but we haven't a lot of this Zetor models here.

Price difference is too big for what they offer, so people buy more x20/40 series. I don't know how tractors are equipped there, but here x21/41 just have 540rpm PTO, no reverser, no A/C.

Most popular UTB model is Universal 643DTC, equipped with insulated cab and heating, like Zetor models. Cab is narrower and about 10-12" lower than on Zetor models.

Most popular Zetor models are 4320/40 and 6340.

Personally I prefer lower tractors, like NH TN(D) series. They have lower positioned seat, and are more pleasant for ride on bumpy terrain (because of lower left-to-right seat moving).

I like cab design of new x21/41 Zetor, similar to Fortterra series.
Anyway, Zetor is good choice, I think, as are many other brands, too.
Just look carefully for all advantages and disadvantages, and try it before purchase.
