This is an interesting thread, as there has been very little bad said so far. I have no personal experience with Zetor. That said, I know half a dozen farmers in my area who have had various Zetor's. Of that half dozen or so (and probably a dozen tractors between them), there is only one who would buy another. The remainder have learned an expensive lesson in downtime. The most common models in my area were the 5011, 7211/7245, and the 8011/8045. The 72 and the 80's in this area ALL had engine failures at less than 5000 hours. These tractors are all on farms where there are Fords, Deere's, Massey's, David Brown's and Internationals running beside them, with some over 12000 original hours. That's the local stat's on Zetor. Judge for yourself wether or not that fit's your needs. Mabey the newer model you are considering is more reliable, but personally I wouldn't waste my time on a phone call. Best of luck.
