Steyr 90 or ZETOR 12011/12045?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 12011/12045: three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears and top speed.
- The ZETOR 12011/12045 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 36% (1,050 kg / 2,315 lb) more three-point lift.
- The ZETOR 12011/12045 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The ZETOR 12011/12045 has 36% more lift (1,050 kg / 2,315 lb) than the Steyr 90 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 12011/12045 is 21% heavier (735 kg / 1,620 lb) than the Steyr 90 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 12011/12045 has 33% more forward gears (4 gears) than the Steyr 90 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 12011/12045 has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Steyr 90 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 12011/12045 is newer: production began 6 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540, 1000 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
