TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Zetor 5718 features a 10-speed/20-speed partial power shift transmission, allowing for enhanced torque management and smoother gear transitions, which improves operational efficiency in varying agricultural scenarios. This setup optimizes fuel consumption and allows for precise speed control when navigating diverse terrain or performing specific tasks. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with the shifting patterns, as mastering partial power shifting can be more complex than traditional gear systems.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Zetor 5718's 10 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration offers versatility for various agricultural tasks, allowing for efficient speed adjustments and maneuverability in tight spaces. The broad range of forward gears enhances operational flexibility, while the limited reverse options may pose challenges in reversing operations on steep terrain. Ideal for diverse agrarian applications, this transmission setup can facilitate both fieldwork and transport, balancing performance and control.

Gears 10 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Zetor 5718 tractor features a partial power shift transmission, offering 20 forward and 4 reverse gears, enabling robust versatility across various operational conditions. The optional multi-power transmission enhances efficiency by facilitating a two-speed power shift, which is beneficial for tasks requiring both high torque and speed variability, such as plowing or hauling. However, users may need to familiarize themselves with the gear shifting mechanisms to maximize performance and avoid potential wear on the transmission over time.

Gears 20 forward and 4 reverse
Description The optional multi-power transmission provided a two-speed power shift between direct drive and a lower range.

MECHANICAL

The Zetor 5718 features a robust 4x2 2WD chassis, suitable for applications requiring less complexity, but it may encounter traction limitations on uneven terrain. The differential hydraulic drum brakes provide reliable stopping power, though optional air trailer brakes add a level of control for heavier loads. The 10-speed/20-speed partial power shift transmission enhances versatility and efficiency during operation, making it ideal for both fieldwork and transportation scenarios.
