Ford 7400 or ZETOR 10111/10145?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 7400 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 10111/10145 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The ZETOR 10111/10145 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 104% (23.5 L/min / 6.2 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The ZETOR 10111/10145 suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 14% (520 kg / 1,146 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
- The ZETOR 10111/10145 suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

- The ZETOR 10111/10145 is newer: production began 14 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 25% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 7400 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 10111/10145 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
