Zetor 3320 overview
The Zetor 3320, part of the Czech manufacturer’s popular Range 1 Series, was built between 1993 and 1997 in Brno and served as an accessible and dependable utility tractor for small to medium-scale farms. This 2WD model delivered a solid performance with its simple yet robust 3-cylinder 2.7L Zetor Z5201 diesel engine, offering 46 horsepower. Known for its mechanical simplicity and durability, the 3320 became a popular choice among farmers who valued ease of maintenance and straightforward functionality. Its low purchase price and low operating costs made it a strong alternative to more complex Western tractors of the same era.
A highlight of the Zetor 3320 is its 10-speed synchromesh transmission, known for being smooth and forgiving, especially in loader and light fieldwork scenarios. An alternative mechanical shuttle version provided full 10 forward and 10 reverse gears, adding flexibility for operators needing more responsive directional control. Although the hydraulic system isn’t high-capacity by modern standards, the open center system provided reliable performance, with enough flow for typical implement needs and an optional front-end loader.
Operator comfort was modest but functional. The standard cab provided basic weather protection and visibility, with optional radio for convenience. One of the most appreciated elements was the tractor’s rugged construction—components like the engine block, hitch, and loader frame mounting points were overbuilt compared to competitors. However, the Zetor 3320 wasn’t without its quirks. Reports from owners and forums point to issues like cold-weather starting difficulties (especially without a block heater), occasional hydraulic leaks, and some discomfort during prolonged operation due to basic seating and cab ergonomics.
On the positive side, the Zetor 3320 was easy to repair and parts were relatively affordable—traits that continue to make it a favorite in Eastern European markets and developing regions. The model’s simple mechanical systems meant most servicing could be done by the operator without special tools or diagnostic software. It also offered strong rear lift capacity for its class, at over 3800 lbs, and a dual-speed PTO suitable for a wide range of implements.
Zetor 3320 remains a respected model in used tractor markets. Its design philosophy focused on practicality, reliability, and affordability. For operators who need a no-frills machine that gets the job done with minimal downtime and running costs, the 3320 is an enduring example of why Zetor has maintained a loyal following in utility tractor segments.
