The motor is a pretty good one. The transmissions and hydraulics are not as good as the motor. The controls are a nightmare. You have several levers down on the transmission hump that control whether you have the hydraulic pump engaged and the PTO working. The wiring is the major draw back to them. If you have much trouble just tear it out and put a single wore Delco alternator on it and wire the important stuff. Forget the warning lights and gauges as they rarely work for long anyway.

You would need to buy it cheap. I do mean cheap. Do not even compare it to any major brand as far as resale. A Zetor 7710 2wd will need to be in the $4000-4500 to be any kind of a deal around here.

I worked at a dealership that had some to sell. I worked there for 7 years and they sold ONE. Had six in stock but you could not give them away in this area. I have one repair customer that has two of them. His are total junk. Not a single piece of sheet metal not beat up or missing. The motors run IF you can get the starter and some type of charging system to function. LOL

IF you buy one get a operators manual. You will need it to make sure you have the levers set right for what you want to do. If you drive it too long with the PTO disengaged it will ruin the throw out bearing. If you are not using the PTO you disengage the output shaft and engage the PTO clutch an that takes the pressure off the throw out bearing. Like I say get a book to learn what to do.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
