ENGINE DETAIL
The Zetor 7245 is powered by a robust 3.6L diesel engine, featuring a 4-cylinder configuration that delivers a maximum output of 64.6 hp at 2200 RPM, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooled system and 14.5 qt coolant capacity ensure optimal temperature regulation during extended operations. While the starter system operates on 12 volts, ease of starting across a range of idle RPMs (600-2400) is beneficial for diverse field conditions, although operators should monitor cooling levels to prevent overheating during heavy workload scenarios.

ZETOR 7245 ENGINE
The Zetor 7245 is equipped with a 3.6L 4-cylinder diesel engine, ensuring a robust power output suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its relatively compact design allows for enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces, which is advantageous in smaller farms or orchards. However, the engine's power may be limiting for heavy-duty applications, making it less ideal for large-scale operations requiring higher horsepower.

TRANSMISSION
The Zetor 7245 features a sliding gear transmission with 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatility for various field conditions. Its dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches. This setup is advantageous for tasks needing frequent speed adjustments, though it may pose challenges in extreme conditions due to potential wear.

MECHANICAL
The Zetor 7245 features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability across diverse terrains, which is ideal for both agricultural and utility applications. The power steering system improves maneuverability, while the hydraulic drum brakes provide reliable stopping power, ensuring safety when towing heavy loads. However, the 10-speed sliding gear transmission may present challenges in gear shifting under heavy loads, potentially affecting efficiency in high-demand scenarios.

ZETOR 7245 TIRES
The Zetor 7245 tractor features standard agricultural tires with a front size of 11.2-24 and a rear size of 16.9-28, providing a balanced stability and traction for general farm operations. Optional tire configurations, including 16.9-30 and 12.4-36 for the rear, can enhance floatation in softer soils or improve overall load-carrying capacity, which may be advantageous for specific cultivation tasks or heavy machinery usage. However, selecting larger tires may affect turning radius and increase the center of gravity, impacting maneuverability in tighter spaces.
