Zetor 7211

This Czech counterpart to our domestic Ursus rolled off the production line for the first time in 1985, which was also when Stanislav Griga scored the most goals for Czechoslovakia. The 7211 model featured a 4-cylinder diesel engine with 64.6 HP, a 12-volt battery, and weighed nearly three tons. This strong contender immediately found its place, helping farmers traverse rapeseed fields. The Zetor, whose name sounds like the roar of its engine, could lift nearly 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 the work pioneers feel more cheerful. The only drawback of the open cabin was the cold wind blowing inside and frozen ears, though our Czechoslovakian friends didn't yet have the option to buy a warm sweatshirt with their favorite tractor then.
