Thanks to its universality, robustness and reliability, it has become one of the most popular ranges in the portfolio of the ZETOR brand. The marking MAJOR HS is and addition to the MAJOR range, thus making the current model be marked MAJOR CL.

The new tractor is powered by four-engine 2.9 litre engine with 76 hp.

Moreover, MAJOR HS is equipped with hydraulic PowerShuttle which allows the change of the direction of motion under load. The tractor reaches the maximum speed of 40 kph, which increases the speed of the basic model CL by 10 kph. The minimum speed is 0.5 kph. Within the operation range from 4 to 12 kph, MAJOR HS offers 6 gears. Other equipment includes hydraulics with mechanical regulation with above-standard lifting force up to 33 kN, 3,300 kg.

Sufficient lighting of the area around the tractor while working at night or in the dark is ensured by eight working lamps.
