These two brands came to market in this area in the early 1990s. I think the fall of the USSR made these companies look towards the American market.
There is one Zetor dealer in the area but he has sold a limited number of tractors over the years. I would say 10-15 would catch the total. I have drove several Zetors and they seemed to have a good motor but really clumsy controls. The over 100 horse power ones had some issues too. I think it was limited hydraulics.
Then there is/was Belarus. There where two different dealers for them in the area. The dealers where just mainly repair shops that picked up the brand to sell. Real limited parts and selection on tractors.
Now my question: The one Belarus dealer sold quite a few 925 MFWD, Cab, with loader tractors for a few years. He was selling them for $25,000 new. This would have been 1992-95???. The buyers where usually livestock guys. I think that AC was an extra option that did not work very well. Slowly over the years there are none of these tractors left in my area. I think mainly due to lack of dealership support. I know I replaced a clutch in one years ago and it took awhile to get the parts, maybe 2-3 weeks. This was before the internet so it would be easier now I think. I never drove or used one other than driving it in and out of the shop. How did they actually handle?? They looked impressive with the MFWD and all.
I think Bison has a few Belarus tractor or is it Zetor. Any other owners out there?? The post below about a Zetor 7745 just got me to thinking about these brands and how they seemed to come an go around here. The only smaller brand going strong in that type of market would be Mahindra as that dealer has sold them now for 10-15 years and seems to be doing well with them.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
