Zetor is a tractor manufacturing industry from the Czech Republic, until 1990 a subsidiary of Zbrojovka in Brno. The name itself arose from merging "Zet" from the logo of Zbrojovka and the last two letters of the word tractor.

Zetor has pioneered various innovations throughout its history. It produced one of the first hydraulic systems, known as the Zetormatic. It was also among the first tractor companies to produce fully integrated safety cabs with insulated, rubber-mounted suspension.

While Zetor is a Czech company, versions of its tractors are assembled in numerous countries including Argentina, Burma, India, Iraq, Uruguay and Zaire. [1]
