TRANSMISSION 1

The Zetor Proxima 65 features a synchromesh transmission with 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing smooth shifting and efficient power delivery for a variety of agricultural tasks. The 310mm hydraulic cerametallic disc clutch enhances durability and performance, allowing for effective handling of heavy loads while reducing the risk of slippage. This combination makes it suitable for diverse field operations, though operators should be mindful of maintenance requirements to ensure optimal clutch longevity.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Zetor Proxima 65 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, facilitating smooth directional changes without the need for clutch engagement, which enhances operational efficiency, particularly during field maneuvers. With 12 forward and reverse gears, it offers versatile speed control, enabling the tractor to be well-suited for various agricultural tasks, from plowing to transporting materials. However, the moderate horsepower may limit performance in heavy-duty applications, making it more advantageous for smaller scale operations or situations where agility is prioritized.

ZETOR PROXIMA 65 TIRES

The Zetor Proxima 65 tractor's 2WD configuration optimized for standard agricultural tires (7.50-16 front, 16.9-28 rear) provides excellent traction and stability on firm surfaces, making it suitable for plowing and tilling. The 4WD variant, equipped with larger front tires (11.2-24), enhances maneuverability and traction in softer ground conditions, ideal for diverse farming scenarios including rough terrain and heavy load operations. However, the trade-off lies in increased maintenance and fuel consumption associated with the 4WD system, which may affect operational costs.
