ZETOR 7421 ENGINE

The Zetor 7421 features a robust Zetor 4.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering reliable power for various agricultural tasks. Its dual fuel tank system—20 gallons for ROPS and 32 gallons for the cab—provides enhanced operational runtime, reducing the frequency of refuels on larger farms. However, consider the weight distribution and potential for increased operating costs due to dual fuel setups in smaller-scale operations.

Cab Fuel tank 32gal / 121.1L

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Zetor 7421 features a 10-speed synchromesh gearbox, ensuring smooth and precise shifting, ideal for varied field applications. The 12-speed mechanical shuttle enhances maneuverability, allowing efficient forward and reverse transitions—beneficial in tight spaces. However, operators should be aware that the syncromesh system may require more maintenance compared to non-synchronized gearboxes, particularly in harsh conditions.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Zetor 7421 features a syncromesh transmission with 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for smoother gear transitions and improved control during varied applications. The 304.8mm hydraulic cerametallic disc clutch offers enhanced durability and efficient power transfer, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks. However, potential challenges include the need for periodic maintenance of the clutch and transmission system to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

MECHANICAL

The Zetor 7421 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering lower initial costs and simplified maintenance, though it may struggle in traction on uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. Its optional air-conditioned cab enhances operator comfort for prolonged use, while the 10-speed syncromesh and 12-speed mechanical shuttle transmissions provide versatile speed control, optimizing performance for various agricultural tasks. However, the absence of 4WD limits its effectiveness in muddy or hilly conditions, making it best suited for flat, well-maintained fields.
