| LAMMA Zetor at LAMMA Show 2018 Bucking the trend from previous years the start to 2018 see’s Zetor a.s focus on the lower end of its portfolio with the introduction of the Utilix and Hortus ranges of tractor in the 40 to 70 HP market segments. he new models are made up of the Utilix HT 45, Utilix HT 55 and Hortus CL 65 and Hortus HS 65. Despite their size, at the heart of the Utilix and Hortus is a four- cylinder engine with ratings at 43, 49 and 67 HP, add to that a choice of hydrostatic, mechanical and power shuttle transmissions (dependent on model) makes these tractors suitable for a variety of applications including municipal, grounds care and small holdings. The Hortus HS 65 will be on the Zetor UK Lamma stand R20. T The Major CL 80 is one of our first new ‘Mother Regulation’ compliant units to land in the UK Also for viewing will be the Major CL and HS variants both fitted with the same 2.9-litre engines, the 76 HP model HS gets a broader spectrum of gears to play with via a three-range transmission with four gears in www.farmingmonthly.co.uk each and a splitter, 24 forward gears and 12 reverse are available – maximum speed is 40 kph. In addition, a power shuttle affords clutch-less direction changes. Cab space has also been increased, now featuring more steering wheel adjustment, more storage space, a new dashboard, and the addition of a passenger seat. The Major CL 80 is one of our first new ‘Mother Regulation’ compliant units to land in the UK giving a clear view as to what the future ranges have in store for us. Despite the new regulations we will also be displaying the last of the 2017 specification products offering some fantastic deals on the Proxima and Forterra ranges. On stand will be the ever popular Proxima CL 100 and HS 100 & 120 models giving the choice between absolute mechanical or power shuttle transmissions from 100 HP to 120 HP offering superior value for money. Pushing the HP higher and finalist in the 2017 Tractor Of The Year awards is the Zetor Forterra range. We will be displaying both the Forterra CL 140 and HSX 140 further demonstrating Zetors product strategy of offering both a low specification and higher specification at every horsepower level. The Forterra CL boosts an all mechanical 24/18 manual shuttle transmission when compared to the Forterra HSX’s 30/30 power shuttle transmission. Both machines are specified with 40kph, four speed PTO, mechanical spools, electronic linkage, air seat and with the option of cab suspension. All Zetor tractors boast 500 hour service intervals, are supported by a UK based parts satellite warehouse offering a fast, efficient, and reasonably priced aftersales service giving our customers peace of mind and low cost of ownership.
