MJB1 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 i like the wording on the leaflet in pic 2 , thats probably why they were always breaking down , they were sent out before they got to finish them properly :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belarusfan Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The Zetor doors opened forwards and the Ursus backwards :) Very nice tractors in my view, not that I've ever driven one \ Made in separate factories I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belarusfan Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 well either they are or they're not ? so is that a numpty for belarus fan or nashmach Please don't take this as gospel, but if anyone is interested I *believe* the story is that the Crystals were built in the Zetor (later ZTS) factory in what is now Slovakia. The tractors were developed jointly with Ursus, each company supplying engineers. The Ursus tractors were built in Poland to help develop the production of larger tractors, with Zetor supplying quite a few components (I used to know which but have forgotten ) and Ursus supplying parts back to Zetor in exchange.

MJB1 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 got to admit the zetors do clock up some fairly hefty hours, so there's got to be something in it , not driven many older crystals , but the newer duncan supercab models were comfortable , of whigh i drove the 9045 , 114145 & the later 12145 all very good & trouble free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
