Zetor 7211

The Czech friend of our domestic Ursus first rolled off the assembly line in 1985, which was when Stanislav Griga scored the most goals for Czechoslovakia. The 7211 model had a 4-cylinder diesel engine with 64.6 HP, a 12-volt battery, and weighed almost three tons. This strong contender immediately found its place, helping farmers traverse rapeseed fields. The Zetor, whose name echoes the roar of its engine, could lift almost 2.5 tons on its rear hitch, while an additional 70 liters of fuel added to its weight. Sometimes a luxury model appeared with an extra passenger seat and a radio, to make it more cheerful for all the exemplary workers. The only drawback of the open cab was the cold wind getting inside and frozen ears, as our Czechoslovakian friends did not yet have the opportunity to get a warm sweatshirt with their favorite tractor.
