ZETOR HORTUS 65 ENGINE
The Zetor Hortus 65 is powered by a robust Deutz 2.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient power delivery suitable for smaller agricultural tasks. With an 18.5-gallon (70.0L) fuel tank, this tractor offers a decent operational range, reducing the frequency of refueling during extended work sessions. However, the smaller engine may struggle with heavier implements, making it ideal for light to moderate agricultural applications rather than intensive farming scenarios.

ZETOR HORTUS 65 TIRES
The Zetor Hortus 65 tractor, equipped with standard agricultural tires (front: 280/85E20 and rear: 380/85R30), offers enhanced traction and stability on varied terrains, making it suitable for plowing and cultivating. The larger rear tires improve weight distribution and reduce soil compaction, which is beneficial in crop production. A challenge may arise in navigating narrow pathways due to the wider rear stance, which could limit maneuverability in confined spaces.
