Introduction
Zetor 8045 Row-Crop Tractor
Produced between 1968 and 1987 in Brno, Czechoslovakia, the Zetor 8045 is a row-crop tractor designed for medium-to-heavy agricultural operations. It belongs to the 8011 and 10011 series and was engineered to offer reliable mechanical performance for diverse farming applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Zetor Z 8001, a 4.6-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It utilizes a direct injection fuel system to achieve a power output of 85 hp (63.4 kW). The bore and stroke dimensions are 110 mm by 120 mm, ensuring consistent torque delivery for field traction.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features a four-wheel drive configuration, providing stability across varied terrain. The transmission system offers 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, structured into four gears across two ranges, supplemented by a two-speed torque multiplier to adapt to specific load requirements.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 8.4 gpm (31.8 lpm). The rear hitch is categorized as Type II and includes lower-link draft control. It provides a maximum rear lift capacity of 7,496 lbs (3,400 kg), suitable for various mounted implements.
Operational Features
The Zetor 8045 is equipped with an independent rear PTO capable of operating at 540 or 1000 rpm. Braking is managed by hydraulic dry disc brakes. The tractor comes standard with a cab, and it operates on 11.2-24 front and 16.9-34 rear agricultural tires, with a total operational weight of 9,149 lbs (4,149 kg).
Conclusion
The Zetor 8045 represents a period of robust, mechanical agricultural engineering. Its combination of four-wheel drive, substantial lift capacity, and versatile transmission makes it suitable for row-crop farming and general field operations requiring reliable, high-torque performance.
