General Construction
The transmission case, clutch, clutch housing, engine and front axle support are bolted together to form
a rigid unit.
Front Axle & Wheels
The 4WD front axle is a center-pivot, reverse eliot type. The front wheel drive mechanism is incorporated as
a part of the axle.
The front wheel drive power is taken off the rear transmission and transmitted to the differential in the front
axle where the power is divided into right and left and to the respective final cases.
In the final cases, the transmitted revolution is reduced by the level gears to drive the front wheel. The 4WD
mechanism with level gears provides wider steering and greater durability.
Engine
The tractors are fitted with fuel efficient Turbo charged engines with 4 cylinders of HORTUS HS65 designed
by DEUTZ Engines Company.
Clutch and transmission
A single plate dry clutch (11.81'' diameter) is used on these tractors. Tractor with IPTO (Independent Power
Take Off) are fitted with hydraulic clutch assy. The transmission gear box has twenty four forward & twenty
four reverse speeds of HORTUS HS65 with high-low selector lever, Presently, Zetor tractors are fitted with
partial synchro mesh type gears.
Brakes
Zetor tractors are provided with independent disc brakes operated by two road travel. Hand brake lever is
fitted for parking.
Rear axle & wheels
This is mounted on ball bearings and is enclosed in removable housing which are bolted to the transmission
case. The rim & disc fitted with rear tires are bolted to the outer flange of rear axle.
Hydraulic System & Linkages
Zetor tractors are fitted with live (i.e. system is in operation even when clutch is disengaged.) independent,
very touch of hydraulic System. Three point linkages can be used for category 2 type of implements.
Steering
It consists of hydrostatic power steering system, which has a hydraulic cylinder and tandem type hydraulic
pump.
Electrical System
A 12 Volt Lead Acid Propylene Battery is used to activate the Engine through the Starter Motor and the
Electrical system comprising Horn, Head Lamp. Side indicator Lamps, Plough Lamp, Brake Light, Gauge
lamp, Hazard Lamp. Generator or Alternator, Fuse box also from part of the Electrical system.

ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structures)
Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS)
Zetor tractors are equipped with a frame for the protection of operators.
In the case of cab tractors the frame is incorporated in the cab structure.
The objective of the frame or cab structure is to protect the operator in the event of a roll over and they are
designed to support the entire weight of the tractor in that event.
Each Zetor ROPS frame or cab structure is designed and has been tested to meet industry and or
government standards.
Included in these tests were all mounting bases and bolts or other fasteners.
Danger: For ROPS frames to be effective and protect the operator, the seat belt provided must
be worn in order to keep operators within the ROPS protected area in the event of a roll over. Failure
to use the seat belt can still cause serious injury or death.
On some models the ROPS frame has a fold down feature, which can be used to enter low buildings etc.
Take care when lowering the upper section of the ROPS frame and take extreme care while driving the
tractor with the ROPS frame lowered.
Do not wear the seat belt with the ROPS lowered and please remember that the fold down facility is for
special circumstances only and must not be lowered for general use.
Use of the tractor with the ROPS lowered can cause fatal injuries!
As the ROPS frame or cab together with the seat belt was designed to meet certain standards, they must be
maintained in good order and condition. To achieve this objective, both the structure and the seat belt should
be inspected on a regular basis. (Every time the tractor is serviced)
In the event that the seat belt is damaged or frayed, it
should be replaced and in the event that the ROPS frame
or any part of the mounting structure is damaged or
cracked, the faulty component must be replaced with
a new unit. Such a unit must meet all of the test criteria of
the original unit. Fitment of an inferior item or items affects
the certification of the entire ROPS structure and the
effectiveness of the structure in the event of an accident.
Drilling or welding of the ROPS structure is forbidden.
HODP006
Damage of the ROP
S
GENERAL INFORMATION
17
If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has damaged (such as striking an overhead object during
transport), it must be replaced to provide the original protection. After an accident, check for damages to the
1. ROPS. 2. Seat. 3. seat belt & seat mountings. Before you operate a tractor, replace all damaged parts.
Warning: Do not weld, drill or straighten the ROPS.
Warning: Never attach chains, ropes to the ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause the
tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from the tractor drawbar. Be careful when driving through door
opening or under low overhead objects. Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance for the
ROPS fatal injuries.
Warning: If the ROPS is removed or replaced, make certain that the proper hardware is used to
replace the ROPS and the recommended torque values are applied to the attaching bolts.
