Zetor tractors used for work in the woods
Standard tractors Zetor do not provide sufficient protection for operation in forest terrain as, for example,
protection against a fal-ling tree or branch on a cab or penetration of objects to a cab.
If Zetor tractor is utilized for forest work, a tractor operated within the European Union must be protected
against these risks.
It is necessary to observe applicable local valid regulations in countries which are not part of the European
Union.
To ensure this protection, it is advisable to conduct assembly of a specific protective structure, like for
example FOPS / OPS (Fal-ling Object Protective Structure / Operator Protective Structure), tested according
to standards for forest machines.
Only forest superstructures approved by ZETOR TRACTORS can be mounted to ZETOR
tractors.
In case of additional assembly of further tractor equipment for working in the woods, full responsibility is
borne by the supplier and manufacturer of the protective structure that all the safety regulations (e.g: OPS /
FOPS), all the conditions of homologation (e.g. the area of driver's view, lighting, parameters, permissible
weight etc.) are met, same as for the provision of due assembly of pro-tective equipment. The
supplier/manufacturer of protective construction is also obliged to conduct all the necessary validation
(approval) steps required by the legislature of the country in which the tractor is operated.
