Zetor 7341

yooperdave · Oct 1, 2003

Does a Zetor 7341 with cab & loader for $32,000 sound like a good deal? The top of cab is 9' above the ground. My overhead door is also only 9' high. I guess I am going cabless /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif.

or

I could also get a 4341 (approx 55 pto hp) with loader and no cab for $22,000.

Both tractors are excellent. Ever thought of raising that garage door. You would really enjoy that cab. With either one you will "be better with a Zetor"
Good luck

My overhead garage door is less than a week old /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif!

My uncle has a few old Olivers with cabs and they are well below 9' high. So when it came time to build, I thought having an extra foot would really open things up.

I guess the 4341 with cab would be closer to 8'-8" high with the ag tires. I am going to take another measurement on the door.

Dave, I don't know about the 7341, but I was quoted $21,450 on a 4341 with loader last year. However, the dealer only had the tractor and did not know when a loader would be shipped. Since then he has gone out of business and another local dealer has taken up the Zetor line and dropped Valtra. I was really impressed with the 4341, but went with the Mahindra, ROPS height would not have fit into my existing tractor shed on the 4341. That was not the only reason, dealer and 0% financing played a big part in my decision. But I really did like the tractor. Chet

Hi Chet,

Which Mahindra did you feel was similar to the 4341?

I am guessing the 6000.

Were the prices and features similar also? I thought that the Zetor was the best bang for the buck for a full sized Ag tractor.

I am supposed to be getting some Zetor literature in the mail soon.

I wood be very interested in how the 6000 compares in price. The Zetor is more tractor but the 6000 is probably Mahindra's closest model. Also I don't think there is a cab for the 6000. I checked the specs on the 7341.1SR and the 4341.1SR (Cab unit) and they are 104 and 102 respectively. Therefore they should fit through your 108" door. For what ever it is worth if it will fit and you can afford it the Zetor cab with heat and air is wonderful.
Good luck

Hi Chipperman,

What does a cab cost, and what exactly do you get for it?

I would assume that there would be a quiet climate controlled environment. Is there a radio? Does it rob any of the engine horsepower? Does the cab get in the way of anything?

Thanks

( What does a cab cost, and what exactly do you get for it? )
At list price $6000+-. The deck on the cab units are completely flat where as the open station units have a 4 to 6 inck tunnel.
( I would assume that there would be a quiet climate controlled environment. )
Yes.
( Is there a radio? )
No but it is wired for it and some have speakers installed.
( Does it rob any of the engine horsepower?)
The cab does not but the air does use a small amount. (I would not be concerned about it.)
( Does the cab get in the way of anything?)
Not that I can think of.
Hope that helps
Good luck

Just be carefull, these tractors have high centre of gravity, if you have slopes. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Don't take this the wrong way but, what data do you have to back up that statement when comparing to other cab or non cab tractors in the same wieght class.
