Another workmanlike stuff I met on my SAK walks. Even though not directly tractors, you may like them  :)

Outrider and Igra Zetor Crystal 12045

Made in the former Czechoslovakia back in the 1970s, 1:43 scale.  Really well detailed.

There were a ton of different variants--red/white, blue, red/blue, red/black, military, communal/municipal, and all of these with and without loaders. I think mine is the most common.



However, it appears that at some point, another Czech company acquired the tooling and is still producing it to this date, so some of those variations may be later.

Igra is still around, and while mostly a distributor of various US and European model train and diecast brands, still has a sizeable range (though it's predominately Tatra trucks) of in-house made models in HO scale.

If you are into traditional Czechoslovak tractor models, you should take Kovap into account.

Interesting! Thanks for the info
Was Tatra the one using that strange central tube chassis in old days in its trucks?

I have a crane and forklift here somewhere. Been meaning to add a few more. Here in the States, Schylling imported them shortly, as did a few smaller retailers, each for just a short period. The Zetor wind-up tractor I've wanted since I was a kid, and at least it's common here in the States. The others, not so much.

I just ordered the Tatra 815 "Rallye" painted up as a German fire tanker.

Yes. It has been Tatra. Invented for passenger cars and still being used in trucks. Probably the best chassis for off-road truck. That's why Tatra is leader in special and military vehicles.

Yes, an interesting and solid design for off-road it seems.
Doing well in races even today!

Now that you mentioned it I have a wake recollection of hearing of few Tatras been tried for logging and gravel transport down here back in the ’70’s or ’80’s. They did not fare so well against Sisu who has the King (might still be) for logging duty and suffered engine issues (lack of power/over heating) when pushed in gravel duty against Sisu, Scania, Volvo et al.

In those days the haul weight was determined by available space and speeds by driver courage so those trucks really worked for a living.
For instance MB had a sterling reputation in central Europe but was not so highly valued here. It only did what it said in tin, over stress/over work it and it would break. Not like a some Cummins Sisu who was build like a brick outhouse but simply would not surrender.

Thanks, Lefty for your recollection.
I was meeting this Zetor several times each day last week, while going from cottage to swim in the pond.



They have also some contemporary tractors in the same village  :)
