The numbers 35 and 50 denote the approximate power class, while the P suffix indicates a particular equipment variant.

The register lists 3 versions with 30.9 to 36.8 kW from four-cylinder diesel engines of 4,156 cm³, unladen weights of 2,740 to 4,495 kg, lengths of 3,330 to 3,360 mm, widths of 1,640 to 1,875 mm and heights of 1,760 to 2,200 mm; torque ranges from 222 to 240 Nm at rated speeds of 1,500 to 1,650 rpm.

Zetor Super-range tractors were widely used, rugged and easy-to-maintain standard tractors for farms across Czechoslovakia and the wider Eastern Bloc, and were exported in large numbers; the brand is still associated today with durable, mechanically simple engineering. That reputation for simplicity is one reason so many examples have survived in working order to this day.

When buying used, condition of the injection pump and cooling, the clutch and gearbox, and rust on sheet-metal parts and mudguards all matter; since the range has not been produced for decades, spare parts are mainly available through the used-parts market and Eastern European Zetor specialists.

What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
