Hi Alan, I had listened to you in the past via you tube whilst driving the car to and from work (screen down), so equivalent to podcast. Now that I don't travel so much, get to watch. Your research and experience in this , for me, is the primary reason I'm a subscriber. Keep it up and put it on as many media formats as you can to show your talent to a bigger audience
@FlyingFergyMan Thanks Cathal.. I'm always fascinated by the history of these German companies through the war and the role they played in the Nazi war machine
As an American, we remember we did have the short flirtation here when KGD bought Allis Chalmers in the 80s - AGCO bought them out and now markets some of their products here. Good video
Great stuff Alan, very interesting, have a real soft spot for them, Brother in law ran them in the late 80's into the 90's, great tractors, Thank You👍🙏
An uncle of mine had a dx110 and a dx90,both 4wd back in the ‘80s. Did loads of work with them and gave great service. They punched well above their weight and had a superb bark. I came across a dx90 2wd barn stored two years ago and I couldn’t believe how small it was!! They were huge back in the eighties but of course times have moved on. Lots of interesting information there thanks. Keep it up
@@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery a local contractor would have had a few 6.10 4wd , one pulling a Mengele sh40, and the other on the buckrake. They had a smaller 2wd drawing in (amongst other tractors) John would have jockeyed it a few times. Before rugby got in the way…
In the early 1970s my father had a Bautz combine. There was only a few of them in Ireland. German built, Bautz was bought out by Claas in the late 1960s. The Bautz model we had (a Commodore) had an air-cooled 4-cylinder 4-stroke diesel engine. We assumed it was a Deutz engine, it looked just like one and had the same Bosch ancillaries. But it was actually a Guldner engine. Guldner was the inventor of the 2-stroke diesel engine. Guldner made tractors in Germany from 1935 to 1968.
@dellhell8842 Great information there.. some of those Bautz combines had an MWM engine and some Perkins, but I believe the most popular was the Güldner as yours was. Thanks for watching 👍
@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery Our's was the mid-range model so to speak with an 8.5 or 10 foot header. A toy by today's standards. The smallest model had an MWM engine and the later larger Titan models had the Perkins 4.236 or the ubiquitous 6.354 engine. I was curious how Bautz got to Ireland. I've never seen evidence of one in the UK. There's just a few vintage versions on TH-cam, all in continental Europe, mainly the Benelux countries.
@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery There seems to be very little information about Bautz in general. The combine we had was built in 1968, but it had an early 1970s Roscommon registration number. So it seemed like it was imported secondhand into Ireland. The other Bautz combines I knew of were in counties Galway and Mayo. Did someone in the west of Ireland import some secondhand units back then, or maybe bought from a fire sale of unsold new stock as Bautz was folding into Claas at the end of the 1960s? Some of the Bautz Titan combines were sold in Claas green colours in Germany. The manual we had was in German. Not a word of English in it. No Google translate. So we just studied the diagrams to try to work things out.
I've been pestering you for this for ages anyhow I don't pod cast to answer that question. My interest in these tractors is my father was a dealer here in Australia in the early to mid 80s I remember the intrac we had one for a bit think it had a lot of potential but yeah just never sold in any numbers a very rare machine in Australia. We sold plenty of deutz hay bailers and rakes Plenty of dx series machines come up for sale from time to time. Love those air cooled engines very reliable and easy to maintain.
Definitely learning early part of history of DF, i know farmer who owns DX 4.5 its nice tractor to operate but ĥad more time with new DF testing 5105G when dad was looking for tractor. Wouldn't mind 8 series Warrior. Podcast i listen to is Barn Talk n Shawn Ryan sometimes defence channels.
Was shocked to find out that deutz no longer supplies exhaust for early agrotrons but has they cost a fortune probably most people would get one custom made
We had a German guy lived bout half mile away had 2 Deutz tractors back in the 60s. He did some work on the country but spent a lot of time in the air over and back to Germany for parts
Deutz fahr one the top tractor manufacturers in the world Mercedes and Porsche are also linked to khd they both learned their trade before going on to make there famous cars brands 😁 😅

@darrenstone1320 That's good to know. Thanks, Darren. I appreciate that. 👍
Excellent Alan, few Deutz up our way, more of the modern stuff than the older gear. We have an old fhar mower and it’s still going. 👍

Yes the red deutz there's a sales video on TH-cam about those
th-cam.com/video/G7O8wSxvnvU/w-d-xo.html
Deutz are most underrated tractor , can't beat German engineering
@@theghostofcornpop4175 That's for sure. Thanks for watching 👍
Another great video thanks. I remember driving a DX90 on a neighbouring farm when I was young
@philgardener7018 Thanks Phil... I drove the DX 90 myself as a young lad. Super tractors 👍
A great video as always Alan 🙂
@m0ogy Thanks Dave 👍

@faFsman Thanks for that. Yes, they were a big tractor in the 80's but a small machine in todays standards.
Welcome back. Deutz were popular enough around here in Limerick , always seemed like a decent tractor.
@78mikehayes Thanks Mike.. Yes, they were popular alright. 👍

Listening while drawing in and sracking bales 👍. Good history lesson there Alan.
@eamondempsey3018 Thanks Eamon. Make the most of the good weekend 👍
Great information Alan, I worked with a contractor in the 80s they bought a new DX for mowing was a great tractor way ahead of the competition.
@Gearoid35 The DX are a super machine Gearoid. They were very popular up our way in the 80's, and still are! 👍
I almost always listen to podcasts when driving. A few of them about agricultural news and topics.

Class video. I used to drive a two wheel drive Deutz dx 110 drawing silage back in the 80s,great tractor
@davidbrennan3613 Thanks David. Yes, the Deutz from the 80's were great machines 👍
