The water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 2,900 cc and produces 67 hp, or 50 kW, at 2,200 rpm. At 3,865 mm long, 1,620 mm wide, 2,545 mm high, with a 2,188 mm wheelbase and 2,520 kg weight, the CL 65 reaches a design top speed of 32.5 km/h. The hydraulic lift capacity is 1,930 kg.
Tractors for orchard and vineyard work are usually narrower and lower than standard tractors to fit between tight rows of trees or vines, though the CL 65 at 1,620 mm wide is not yet an extreme narrow-track version. The 1,930 kg lift capacity is enough for the sprayers and mulchers typically used in this kind of cultivation.
When buying a Zetor tractor of this class, the condition of the hydraulic pump given the stated lift capacity, the tightness of the cooling system and clutch wear matter most. As Zetor tractors are widespread across much of Europe, sourcing parts for the engine and gearbox is usually straightforward. On versions set up for row-crop work, it is also worth looking over the narrow fenders for paint damage from tight turns between rows.
