ENGINE DETAIL
The Zetor 5245 features a robust 2.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine with a direct injection system, ensuring efficient fuel combustion and better torque at lower RPMs, ideal for agricultural tasks. With a moderate power output of 45.9hp at 2200 RPM and a high idle range (600-2400 RPM), it caters well to varied operational demands; however, its smaller engine size may limit performance in heavy-duty applications. Maintenance-wise, it requires attention to oil (9.5 quarts) and coolant (up to 11.1 quarts with heater) capacities, ensuring optimal engine longevity and performance during prolonged usage.

ZETOR 5245 TIRES
The Zetor 5245 tractor features standard agricultural tires (9.5-24 front and 14.9-28 rear), which provide a balance of traction and stability on varied terrains. Optional tire configurations (16.9-28 or 12.4-32) allow for increased load capacity and improved flotation in soft soil conditions, offering enhanced performance for heavier tasks. However, selecting wider tires may lead to increased soil compaction and impact narrow spaces during maneuvering, so tire choice should align with intended applications.
