Mr Miroslav Adamička and his son Dominik run the company Mostroj s.r.o. It is a locksmith services business employing 20 people. The 21st member of staff is ZETOR UTILIX CL 55. In the winter, it removes snow in the premises of the company, in the summer it is used to maintain Mr Adamička’s lands that are located around the town of Ladce, Ilava County, Slovakia. Apart from other things, the town is famous for its pilgrimage site called Skalné sanktuárium Božieho Milosrdenstva on the Butkov hill. Below the hill, there is a meadow which was the shooting site of the photos of UTILIX.
Mr Adamička purchased the tractor from the dealer Jozef Bakoš – ZETOR Servis in late 2020 and he is very much satisfied with the dealing services. He used the option to have the tractor equipped with front Zuidberg three-point hitch. He does not appreciate solely the sales and aftersales services of Mr Bakoš; he likes the tractor as well. Yet, he felt there was still something missing. Because he is an experienced locksmith, he decided to use an aluminium plate to tune the tractor a bit. You can see his original tuning in the photo gallery. Adding a motive of the Canadian flag was just the icing on the cake recalling his friend who lives in Edmonton, Canada. With these adjustments, the tractor looks just as it should to Mr Adamička.
Kyjov Hospital is a complex facility providing emergency and long-term care to patients of the Hodonín County. The fact that the hospital uses a ZETOR tractor is not the only thing that connects us. It has been 75 years since both this health centre and ZETOR TRACTORS started to operate.
The tractor and the whole process of the large premises maintenance is taken care of by Mr Pavel Menšík. The hospital has been using COMPAX CL 40 since Christmas. Its main job is to clear tree cuttings and maintain all areas as the hospital premises is full of parks with flowerbeds and tall trees. For this job, the tractor is equipped with a front loader. In the winter, it uses a snow blade to clear snow. Another available equipment includes a trailer. They also plan to purchase a sweeper.
Both the tractor and all equipment have been supplied by NEJEDLÝ s.r.o. Company, an authorized dealer based in the town of Miroslav. The hospital is also satisfied with service provided by the company. They appreciate COMPAX for its spacious cabin and manoeuvrability. One of the motivations to purchase the tractor was also a reliable Yanmar engine that the tractor uses. It meets the latest emission standard Stage V and it is characteristic for its smooth run and saving fuel. An important part in the decision was also the customer-friendly attitude of Mr Nejedlý.
George organic farm is located in Jerlochovice at the outskirts of the town of Fulnek. It produces high-quality veal and beef meat and farms on 310 hectares of permanent pastures. The farm keeps top stud bulls of the Simmental breed and produces first-rate marbled meat of the Hereford breed. It is proud to have been awarded the certificates of Ecological Farming and Product of Ecological Farming. The farm is equipped with farming machinery of the ZETOR brand that makes their work easier and is friendly to the environment. Efficient design and economical operation help to save energy.
‘It is our main focus to keep our customers satisfied,’ says Jiří Ševčík, the owner of George Farm. And this makes a common ground with us. Customer satisfaction is the most important target for ZETOR as well. Thus, cooperation of the two brands is beneficial for both of them.
Jobs around the farm are done with four ZETOR tractors, which are taken good care. They are PROXIMA PLUS 105 from 2008, three years younger PROXIMA POWER 115. The most powerful tractor until recently was FORTERRA HD 150 from 2016. In 2021 Mr Ševčík extended his ZETOR fleet, with the most powerful and best-equipped tractors of the ZETOR portfolio: CRYSTAL HD 170. Due to longer wheelbase, higher weight and engine power, CRYSTAL is more convenient for ploughing. Mr Ševčík is really satisfied with the new helper
All tractors of the ZETOR brand on the George Farm were distributed by MITRENGA a.s. company. And how does Mr Ševčík assess CRYSTAL HD 170? Due to better performance and improved drag, CRYSTAL can work with tools with a bigger reserve. Mr Ševčík appreciates that this lowers the wear of both the tractor and the tool. Another positive fact is that speed can be kept between 7 and 10 kph at constant pace of 1,300-1,500 rpm even with the plough. This decreases fuel consumption to the lowest level, below 200 g/kWh.
ZETOR HORTUS is able to fully use its power thanks to the best possible combination of the engine performance and weight. The engine with the power of 67 HP with Common Rail injection system is outstanding for its low fuel consumption, reliability and simple construction. With a 70 liter tank, the HORTUS is ready for many hours of use on the field before the next refuel.
HORTUS transmission offers 4 main speeds and 3 ranges with an additional creeper gear for a total of 24 forward and 24 reverse speeds, enabling you to select the right speed for your work needs. HORTUS CL offers mechanical reverser, HORTUS HS is equipped with hydraulic reverser (Power-Shuttle), which brings better comfort for your daily work.
Category II hitches with a hitch lift capacity of 1,937 kg and two standard rear remote valves allow HORTUS to be equipped with a various assortment of rear implements.
