Cylinders: 3 or 4 Performance Horsepower Rating: Typically around 50-60 HP for models in the 52xx series. Torque Rating: Torque figures would be consistent with a naturally aspirated diesel of this size, likely in the 150-190 Nm range. Fuel System Injection Type: Mechanical direct injection Cooling System: Liquid-cooled 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Manual transmission with a synchronized gearbox. Gear Configuration: Likely an 8-speed or 12-speed gearbox (e.g., 8 forward + 4 reverse, or 12 forward + 4 reverse with creeper gears). Optional Optional Features: Possible availability of a creeper gear range, or a shuttle shift (forward/reverse lever). Independent PTO options were common. Features Pto Speeds: Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540 RPM, 1000 RPM) likely available, controlled via a separate lever. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Typically around 3.5 - 4.0 meters Overall Width: Typically around 1.8 - 2.0 meters (variable with tire size) Wheelbase: Around 2.1 - 2.3 meters Weights Operating Weight: Approximately 2500 - 3000 kg (unladen) Towing Capacity: Varies significantly by hitch type and tractor configuration, but typically rated for several thousand kilograms. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Rollover Protection Structure Rops: ROPS likely standard or a common option. Operator manual will detail safe use with ROPS. Active Features Parking Brake: Mechanical parking brake system. Safety Interlocks: Likely PTO and transmission interlocks for safe engagement/disengagement. Passive Features Operator Station Design: Ergonomically designed controls, seatbelt (if equipped), and clear visibility from the operator's seat. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Features: None typical for this era and class of tractor. Focus is on functionality. Driver Assistance Features: None beyond basic operational controls and safety features. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type. Air Filter Cleaning Replacement: Frequent inspection, cleaning as needed (e.g., weekly or daily in dusty conditions), replacement every 500-1000 hours or when damaged. Fuel Filter Replacement: Typically every 500-1000 operating hours, or as recommended by Zetor. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: API CD/CE or similar specification diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 commonly recommended. Hydraulic Fluid Type: Hydraulic oil (e.g., ISO VG 46 or universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) depending on specific Zetor recommendation for this model's transmission/hydraulics). Transmission Fluid Type: Likely UTTO or dedicated gear oil. Manual will specify. Coolant...
