[AT] Zetor tractors

[Grant Brians]

I can comment about Zetor tractors as for a while there were quite a number
sold in our area. The dealer said that before they sold each one that they
had to replace all rubber parts (hoses, belts etc.) as the quality was very
low. Then they had good service. BUT, parts availability through the North
American distributors were so bad that they finally stopped selling Zetors
and only sold their "mainstream" Massey Ferguson brand. Parts on those AGCO
units were very easy to get and again, they are reliable too.
    I ended up buying a new New Holland at that time (7 years ago), as the
local dealer had a very good deal on a model that did what I needed. The
Zetor parts availability in Europe has gotten better since John Deere bought
them.......
