Zetor Tractor?

[Rich Feickert]

Looking at a used Zetor. My gut tells me to stay away (ala Belarus). Am I wrong?

Based on my experience with Zetor you are wrong.
I have 3, 5011 and 2 5245s. All have been great,
very cheap on fuel, well built, easy to work on
and parts are easy to get and priced fairly. I've
had very few repairs. Resale value is dead, but
it opens up buying chances. I'm not an expert on
other Zetor models but those built in the middle
1980s to early 90s are pretty good.

Thanks for the input. The one problem I see is that I cannot find a Dealer within 150 miles. ???

I fix my tractors myself so getting parts is my
only issue. I get my parts from an outfit in
Arkansas named Ridgeway. Good to deal with and
his prices are better then any dealer I found.
