ENGINE DETAIL

The Zetor 5211 tractor features a robust 2.7L three-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 45.9 hp at a rated RPM of 2200, ideal for moderate fieldwork and operations. Its direct injection fuel system promotes better fuel efficiency and optimal power output, although users should maintain a valve clearance of 0.010 inches for optimal performance. With an oil capacity of 9.5 quarts, it facilitates extended operation but requires diligent maintenance to prevent overheating, especially under heavy loads.

ZETOR 5211 ENGINE

The Zetor 5211, powered by a 2.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a balance of efficiency and power suitable for various agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 14.5 gallons (54.9L), it provides reasonable operating range, ideal for small to medium-sized farms. However, its relatively small tank may necessitate more frequent refueling during intensive operations, which can interrupt workflow.

ZETOR 5211 TIRES

The Zetor 5211 tractor features versatile tire options, allowing for enhanced traction and adaptability across various terrains, particularly with rear options like the 14.9-28 and 9.5-32 providing a broad footprint. The combination of ag front tires (6.50-16) and the varying rear sizes allows for improved load distribution and stability when maneuvering in tight spaces or on uneven surfaces. However, careful selection of tire sizes is essential, as incorrect pairing can lead to handling issues or increased wear on drivetrain components, particularly in demanding agricultural applications.
