zetor put sticker on century now??

I got an email from amjawa about were a dealer was located. just 30 miles north of my house. I just had to run up and look at what he had. He had 2 century's left till next order gets in. both were 2535 models. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifsweet little tractors. They fit my 6'2" frame nicely. The one with the canopy had the c system 50 loader on it. the other had the c40 loader on it. I liked the c50 cause I like the joy stick on the fender, closer reach. Never run one like that but took about 10 seconds to figure out. Smoothed out some gravel at end of his lot. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif It was smaller tires than I guess the 40 hp would have,but I like it and the center of gravity was nice. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif If I could only afford it right now. also would look good with a 7.6 hoe on it.
/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I guess the main question that I have is that he said he has ordered a 42 and 47 hp in and that they will say Zetor on the stickers instead of century /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I realize there is no difference but when did they change?? I have a brochure that says Zetor C-Series Tractors. models C29/C35/C38L/C42L/C47L. It looks just like a century brochure that I saw on line. tractor in the same position with bucket up in the air.
If I remember right reading the past forums the frame size is the same?? just bigger tires and maybe 4 inches longer on the bigger pony ones ?? what would that gain me?? sure could use some insite. thanks mark

P.S. I didn't think that I would like the canopy but it was nice. Also I guess they also have options for putting soft side cabs on them. glass window with manual wiper. be nice in the winter. ALSO the 2 he order are coming in with the cummins motors in them. It will be interesting to see them. also see attached scan of brochure.

well I guess I may have posted a bit early. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I found in reading about zetor and century. I'm trying to read all of the posts and it takes a while. lots to look at. I still would like some input on the 2 different sizes. The smaller of the 2 feels nice. though I've not seen the big one yet. I'm very pleased with what I've seen so far though. I know that I can run bigger implements but not sure that I need to.
I want to be able to get into tight spots for say plowing gardens for people and such. so I would think that would be a plus.???? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif also would run the 7.5 hoe quiet nicely. anyway for now thanks mark

Bluecarpenter, I have one of the 2535 Century's and I love it. It works great in my garden and is small enough to work in our wood lots. The C-50 loader is a great and strong unit and does all that I have safely wanted to do and a few things that were more than I should have been doing. I got the R1 tires which are best for the garden, both in traction and width. I also bought a set of the quick tach brackets and have made a set of forks. Having worked with diesel tractors for the last 40 years I can say that this is the best starting tractor I have ever used. Fires right up in 20 degree weather. The Fords and JD's we had never started that good. I debated for a long time about buying a lesser known brand, but am convinced it is one of the best values on the market. Good Luck. Willie Jones
