Hložek brothers´ family farm
Vážany nad Litavou is a town with long farming history. The farm itself used to keep several farming animals before the year 1990; however, there was no soil to farm. ‘In 1970s, we used ZETOR 25 A and then, from 1986 on, Zetor 4011,’ the story goes. After 1990, the farm was equipped with new machinery. They currently farm 189 hectares of land and specialise in crop growing. They grow wheat both for food and forage, barley and since 2018 also grass and alfalfa for hay and haylage production. Previously, also rapeseed and pea were grown.
Another milestone in the farm’s history was the year 2004 when the area of lands started to grow larger. This required new farming machinery with higher power. They bought new ZETOR FORTERRA 11441 (by purchasing a front loader Trac-Lift 260 SLi for this tractor they have had no problems with handling material, hay and so on) and ZETOR FORTERRA HD 150 (mainly for heavy-duty field jobs) from an authorized dealer, Ehl, s.r.o. company. From BOHATEC s.r.o. company, also an authorized ZETOR dealer, they bought another tractor, new ZETOR FORTERRA 12441. Mostly, the tractor works with a sprayer NAPA 24 and spreader RM 071.
The Hložek brothers appreciate ZETOR tractors for their low-cost service, availability of spare parts and straightforward technical design. Their patriotism is another good reason. They say that they have never been let down by ZETOR tractors that can be relied on even in the toughest conditions.
