IMT 545 De Luxe or ZETOR 3321/3341 Super?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 3321/3341 Super: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on PTO speeds and drive.
- The ZETOR 3321/3341 Super suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 1000 rpm.
- The ZETOR 3321/3341 Super suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 167% (26.4 L/min / 7.0 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 109% (1,570 kg / 3,461 lb) more three-point lift.
- The ZETOR 3321/3341 Super suits heavy draft work (ploughing, cultivating) better on this data: 37% (820 kg / 1,808 lb) heavier and four-wheel drive.
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.
