GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to KZbin. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!

You jump in and want to do a simple task and the john deere needs an update and a visit from mother deere to change a sensor but then your off and the zetor just goes and goes 😀

Zetor was my 1st tractor 7745 turbo, amazing simple tractor, put 9000hrs on it, only fault on it was the brakes...

[@caragray7010]

Zetor was one of the first to have two seats, alot of livestock men had them, 7245 back in the 80s.

[@VelEire_]

Lots of livestock men still have them, or something like a 6211 for light jobs

[@Robstew9000]

Now then that’s a modern tractor I understand without needing any instruction just like tractors used to be..

[@gwill983]

That’s more like boys! Never heid yon 4 wheel drive iPads you keep show’n us!

[@lindarooney3833]

This is Linda's husband here. At long last Zetor has woke up to KZbin. Now it's time to shut up all the boys that hate Zetor. No better men to test this tractor. Fair play to you boys.

[@tipperarymick5337]

The newer Zetors are a fine tractor, but when i was changing my Massey last year and pricing around there really wasn't a lot of difference in price. Went with New Holland in the end, purely as they were the nearest to me.

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

I looked at one and just had my reservations on keeping it going down the road the dealership was hour and a half away. We have a great kubota dealer close and they open gates after hours, keep parts that I need and will overnight the odd part they don't have and that's happened twice in 10 years. We run case on the big stuff but we have to keep 1 small case farmall around open cab for the yard stuff and gardens.

[@_2formore2_77]

i feel like Kubota has snatched the spot for low priced fairly specced tractors now, as they really try and get into european market

[@tipperarymick5337]

@@_2formore2_77 True, but Kubota is hardly low priced.

[@MOOBOOSE]

I am on my second proxima 110 from Zetor and they are a bloody great machine

[@tipperarymick5337]

@@MOOBOOSE I have no doubt that's true. For me it came down to dealer location and backup as I plan on keeping the tractor long term.

[@ianhaggart1438]

Hope she shows us proud 👏 can't wait to hear the thoughts on the new crystal. Iv been trying to get a demo so thumbs up to your dealer. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@maggikrissi6526]

There is always good room in a Zetor. Man that video gets the buyer in my exited and I am a cheap ass mostly. I mean its high comfort with all the utilities you want and the nostalgia of working on a Zetor. The only thing missing to make this the perfect machine is the big stick on the left side of the seat for forward and backward and its perfect. I will be looking for one of these in Iceland, heck I'd even try to be the first to get on of these

[@darrencarr9176]

Well I've subscribed on the back of the Zetor.... they are bombproof the 8011 Is a CLASSIC

[@olafkmiecinski6169]

Will there be any polo shirts with Zetor?

[@SimonKL11]

Looking forward to see how you like the zetor😉👍 can't wait to see it at work👍😁 Nice video👍

[@marksheridan7754]

You lost me when you said deutz engine

[@alanmarshall874]

Sure fendt have deutz engine

[@theforester3426]

Nothing wrong with a Zetor Crystal even the old style was something to be reckoned with.

[@DonegalTDI]

All hail the underdog 💪💪👍👍 Simplicity is king.

[@WilliamStevens007]

Only problem for me is the fact its not a Zetor with a Deutz engine, In fact there isn't much Zetor about the new "Crystal". Better off getting a Forterra as at least its mainly Zetor.

[@willdornan9929]

“Gearbox will take a bit of getting used to” I’m glad you said that! That new gearbox in the Zetors really threw me when I was over at Ballymoney last month 😂

[@andybunney7902]

We used to have the zetor 7745 turbo wen I was a kid , they have come on leaps an bounds. I drive the zetor 140 on neighbours farm blowing grass she's a good little zipper. 👌 nice to see the new crystal 170.. donkey the way you say zetor . 😆 haha

[@jayd1974]

Looks a tidy tractor 👍Do URSUS still make tractors?

[@karstenandersen3253]

No

[@slickymick]

Well lads, great to see Crystal can't to see her doing some work. How mush is she coming into?🤑

[@stefantriller7598]

That yellow stick behind you said its for gears its for automatic couplling behind😂😂😂

[@jamieshields9521]

My old boss had 3 cylinder Zetor with ROPS n front screen, with loader. Not bad tractor, simple to maintain n could carry n pull well too.

[@seamusmcelhinney5951]

In my opinion zetor and Massey is the two best tractor

[@pauricmcentee4429]

Massy is flashy but zetor is better 😉

[@M_Grezo]

you will be happy twice, the first time when you buy it and the second time when you are able to sell it

[@janolecorre2574]

Pour moi les 2 petit zetor à côté manque de puissance et même le gros ses pas assez 170 CV moi j'aurais mis 200 CV

[@martas_42]

Zetor make 1st safety kabyn on world

[@mattafakkah]

looks like a Kubota😂😂😂

[@victorcox7683]

What would your voice based on the final v

[@MrFoxman360]

Will be interesting to see how it compares with the other mainstream brands.

[@roisinmctague1985]

. I Have been working for Rea’s for now 15 years

[@theforester3426]

What a beast.

[@FUBAR666]

well , im really looking forward to seeing what you think of the Big Crystal i really hope it opens your eyes and proves to be a good yoke .id love to hear you say its as good or even better than some of those common as assholes Ipads on wheels .

[@zoran3912]

I can say that Crystal is great machine! If you think to buy him you will be happy with that tractor

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Looking forward to more of your Zetor videos

[@neilbowness6074]

Sometimes the simple things just make sense

[@farmerfuller87]

It’s lovely that

[@stanleycobb1800]

In the POTTINGER IMPRESS Baler Demo Tour there is a jcb 2140 in the background is it a new tractor 🚜 to the fleet

[@PatrickHoran-ms3ez]

How much

[@mauricehiggins7661]

Have fun with zetcher might be superized👍👍

[@aidenmeagher5760]

Just had a bearing Fáil in my hd 130 transmission at 5000 hrs cost 6 g to get it back on the road. Never did a hard weeks work in that 5000 Had Zetor’s for last 40 years always a zetor man won’t be having another. Smaller ones still ok I’m told. Quality not keeping up with the price I’m afraid

[@Grassmen]

Oh dear

[@fordford9133]

Will you be going out video on the 8011 crystal

[@nellie.]

Beans

[@stakman78]

Reminds me of a cvx

[@Grassmen]

A wee bit yes apart from the gear stick 😆

[@jimgannon1917]

What the list compared ,to a JD

[@jimlondon1]

Did Zetor have an assembly plant in Dublin? I'm sure there was, I remember loads of them outside a warehouse just up the road from my uncles house. He used to take me down to look at them when I was over on my holidays.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Yes They had on the Naas road Sean O Shea was the owner , it was one of the best tractor and machinery distributors in Ireland and as far as I know did england also It was a huge complex I was in there in the mid eighties when it closed down In those years Zetor had as good a back up as any tractor in Ireland ,But alas due to Zetor been manafactured in a communist country it all went belly up for a while But in those years it was near impossible to get spare parts for other makes also

[@hedydd2]

The linkage controls are just a slightly restyled version of the system fitted to my 1993 Same Titan160. Very reliable and easy to control. Hope they have linkage suspension for transport though and, ideally, slip control over-ride as well.
