New Zetor owner by chance looking for info

[plowpowermods1022]

I wasn't planning on getting a Zetor. I was after a John Deere 3025E, but the deal didn't happen. Then, I saw a new Zetor Proxima at a local dealer. Never thought much about Zetors, but after hearing about how reliable the old ones are, I bought it. Now, I'm looking for any info, tips, or advice about these machines since they aren't common around here. I appreciate any input from Zetor owners

Well... I dont think they get much attention in North America, but they're good, keep an eye on the hydraulic lines and electrics early on, just to catch any loose fittings or quirks from the factory, the parts can be a bit slower to get, but they're out there

People romanticize old Zetors way too much, just because the old models ran forever doesn't mean the new ones will. Modern Zetors aren't built like those old tanks, and parts availability can be a headache in the U.S

The build is okay for what it is, but give those screws, wires, and seals a quick look when you first get it. Parts can be tricky to get sometimes, so think about maintenance ahead of time.

I really appreciate the feedback, everyone! I'll get started on a thorough check of the hydraulics and electrical connections right away. It's also helpful to know about the parts situation, I'll be sure to stock up on essential maintenance items and establish a good rapport with my dealer early on
