Abroad, Zetor is represented through seven affiliations in North America, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and India.

[1] The name Zetor, which was later to become the name of the brand and which was used by the state Company to mark the tractors, was created by Rostislav Sapák, a member of the Czech Economic Department, in the spring of 1946.
In the late 1950s, ZETOR was the first to introduce the concept of using unified parts to produce tractors worldwide.
It included many innovative features for the time, e.g. the world's first safety cabin with rollover protection system, mounted on vibration isolators.
New tractors are small and light, equipped with 4-cylinder engines with power outputs of between 43 and 67 hp (32 and 50 kW).
It was a simple tractor with a power output of 80 hp (60 kW), appreciated for its reliability and low operating costs.
In late 2016, the company launched new Major HS, which offered higher comfort while retaining low operation costs.
Tractors of the Major range included in the medium-power class are appreciated for easy operation and service.
[10] The Forterra range introduced robust tractors equipped with four-cylinder Zetor engines, which were suitable for heavy-duty work in farming and forestry.
In 2014, the range was extended by the Forterra HD, with a power output of 147 horsepower (110 kW) and electronic hydraulic regulation.
The operation of the tractor was made easier by three-stage PowerShift, PowerShuttle and PowerClutch, with the clutch button incorporated into the gear-shifting lever.
The first two or three numbers of the marking of the tractor related to the approximate power of the engine in horsepower, e.g. 72, 80, 121, 162, etc.
The BBC said of the Italian Pininfarina studio design that it is the most sexy tractor in the world.

Front-end loaders marked ZL and ZX differ in size and lifting force, with both being compatible with all current Zetor tractors.
