TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Zetor Utilix 45 features a 16-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, providing flexible speed control and efficient torque management for various agricultural tasks. The hydrostatic system allows for smooth operation and quick direction changes, ideal for applications requiring precise maneuverability, such as loading or tillage. However, the mechanical shuttle may have a steeper learning curve for new operators due to its complexity compared to fully automatic systems.

Description 16-speed mechanical shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Zetor Utilix 45, equipped with a mechanical shuttle transmission, offers 16 forward and reverse gears, providing enhanced maneuverability and precision in various operational conditions. An advantage of this setup is the improved control during direction changes, which is beneficial for tasks like loader work and tight turns. However, the mechanical shuttle may lack the seamless operation of hydrostatic systems, potentially leading to more driver fatigue during extended use.

Type mechanical shuttle
Gears 16 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Zetor Utilix 45 features a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for seamless speed control and enhanced maneuverability, making it ideal for applications requiring precise speed adjustments such as landscaping or small-scale farming. Its infinite gears in a 3-range setup provide versatility for various terrains and tasks, ensuring optimal performance whether in forward or reverse. However, hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance and can have higher operational costs compared to traditional gear systems, impacting long-term ownership costs.
