Zetor 5 er-Serie (UR 1)

The register lists four versions here with 16.9 to 38.2 kW from two- to four-cylinder diesel engines with 1,559 to 3,119 cm³ displacement. Rated speed lies between 2,000 and 2,200 rpm, unladen weight ranges from 1,340 to 2,444 kg with lengths from 3,040 to 3,710 mm, widths from 1,620 to 1,833 mm and heights from 1,456 to 1,620 mm; torque lies between 88 and 188 Nm.

As Zetor's first modern generation, the 5 series, with its robust and simple technology, laid the groundwork for the brand's export success into the Eastern Bloc and numerous developing countries, where it remained in agricultural use for decades.

When buying used, on these older tractors check the condition of the clutch and gearbox, tightness of the injection pump, corrosion on the wings and bonnet, and wear on the front axle and steering linkage. Parts for this widely used generation remain well available through specialist Zetor used-parts dealers in central and eastern Europe.
