The Zetor Company is owned by HTC Holdings Company and located in the Brno-Lisen area of the Czech Republic. The first prototype of the Zetor tractor was produced in November 1945.

The company first started to make tractors in 1946 and over the years the company has produced over one million tractors and these have been sold to eighty different countries, including the United States of America.

The early Zetor tractors had a four-stroke diesel engine, which had a mechanical fuel injection. These tractors were seen as a piece of advanced technology and they proved themselves to be very durable. Zetor tractors were reasonably priced making them popular in many different countries worldwide. The Zetor Company was an early adopter of four-wheel drive mechanical devices and front wheel driver systems. The company was one of the first tractor companies to introduce air conditioning into tractors.

In 1958 the Zetor Company used one of the newest production ideas; that of using common parts in all tractors thereby making them more affordable and easier for farmers to maintain and also allowing the company to meet the rising demand for the tractors. The Zetor Company also licensed the Zetor models for production in India and Iraq during the 1950s and 1960s.

The Zetor 8011 tractor was produced between 1967 and 1987. The Zetor 8011 tractor had an eighty-five horsepower engine with an engine size of about sixty-three kilowatts. These tractors had a four-cylinder engine. The Zetor 8011 tractor has the capability to lift 7496 pounds, which is equivalent to 3400 kilograms. This tractor has a strong engine and has the capability of pulling farming implements such as trailers and ploughs with ease.

The Zetor Company built tractors for the John Deere company between 1993 and 1998. These tractors were marketed by the John Deere company in various countries worldwide. The Zetor Company has worked with other tractor companies in many different part of the world including Poland, Brazil and India.

There are a lot of tractor engineers who specialise in servicing and repairing Zetor tractors. There are many companies that sell Zetor tractor parts so they are relatively easy to repair when things break down. There are also many traders that deal in the sale or lease of Zetor tractors.
