ENGINE DETAIL
The Zetor 4712 features a robust 2.6L three-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 45hp at a rated RPM of 2200, making it suitable for medium-duty tasks in agricultural settings. Its relatively high compression ratio of 17.9:1 enhances fuel efficiency, but may lead to increased wear if not properly maintained. Optimal for applications requiring agility and ease of maneuverability, this tractor is ideal for smaller farms or tight working conditions where versatile performance is advantageous.

ZETOR 4712 ENGINE
The Zetor 4712 features a robust 2.6L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering efficient fuel consumption for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its 12.4-gallon (46.9L) fuel tank enables extended operational time between refueling, advantageous for larger fields or prolonged tasks. However, the relatively smaller engine size may limit performance under heavy load conditions, making it less suitable for very demanding applications.

TRANSMISSION
The Zetor 4712 features a 10-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing flexibility for various field conditions and tasks. This extensive gear range allows for efficient power management and optimal speed adjustments, which is advantageous for both plowing and transport applications. However, operators may need to invest time in mastering the gear ratios to maximize the tractor's performance in diverse scenarios.
| Gears | 10 forward and 2 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Zetor 4712 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers lower traction on uneven terrain compared to 4WD tractors, making it more suitable for lighter agricultural tasks or flat fields. Its differential hydraulic drum brakes provide adequate stopping power for typical farm operations, though optional air brakes may be beneficial for towing heavier trailers. The open operator station design enhances visibility and comfort but lacks protection in adverse weather conditions, which could be a drawback for operators in harsher climates.

ZETOR 4712 TIRES
The Zetor 4712 features an agricultural front tire size of 6.00-16 and a rear tire size of 12.4-32, providing a balanced weight distribution ideal for plowing and fieldwork. The larger rear tires enhance traction and stability on uneven terrain, promoting effective power transfer during operation. However, the limited front tire size may result in reduced flotation in soft soil conditions, potentially affecting performance in wet fields.
