TRANSMISSION 1

The Zetor Compax 40 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless gear changes without interrupting power flow, enhancing operator efficiency during operations. With 12 forward and reverse gears, this tractor provides versatile speed selection suitable for various agricultural tasks, from tillage to transport. However, operators should be mindful of the learning curve associated with synchronized shifting to fully leverage its advantages in productivity.

Gears 12 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Zetor Compax 40 features a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for seamless speed adjustments without the need for shifting gears, which enhances operator comfort and precision during tasks. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears offer versatility in various applications, making it suitable for both narrow field work and tight spaces. However, the hydrostatic system may experience higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear transmissions, and operators should be familiar with the nuances of hydrostatic control to maximize efficiency.

ZETOR COMPAX 40 TIRES

The Zetor Compax 40 features standard agricultural tires with a front size of 8.0-16 and rear size of 12.4-24, optimizing it for field operations, while the lawn/turf and industrial tires provide versatility for different applications. The lawn/turf setup (27x10.5-15 front and 41x14-20 rear) minimizes ground disturbance, making it suitable for landscaping or maintenance on sensitive terrains. However, the ineffectiveness of the industrial tires on soft ground could limit its performance in agricultural scenarios, posing a challenge in varied operational environments.
