A thread for owners to congratulate/commiserate* themselves for their intelligence/stupidity* in being a trailblazer/mug* in buying the best/most overrated* tractor on the market. (*delete as appropriate) @DrDunc @marc jonah.

Or, look at our smart new tractor, noone else around here has one, have we lost our minds?!

Ploughing next week.

Big powerful looking tractor. Best of luck. What brand tyres.
Seen new small deutz in Ireland on bkt tyres. Might be a irish thing to keep price down

Michelin, ex-demonstrator so spec was decided for us.

It does look big but it's not much more powerful than the 6930 its intended to replace, there is so much emissions stuff under the bonnet the whole tractor has grown to accommodate it.

Hope it goes as well for you as others I've spoken to. I run three older Deutz fingers crossed the new ones continue to be as good.

New price was not far behind John Deere, ex-demo heavily discounted. I think Deutz UK need to discount heavily to JD consistently to make inroads on the UK. Its worked for Case round here.

It wasn't so much not wanting another JD as the fact an ex hire 500hr 6155r with autopower was £20k more than an ex-demo 180hr Deutz with a robotised manual. That was too much to overlook.

All I can say is I really really like mine.... like @Robt says, topcon x30 controller, section control and rtk etc included in the price of mine. I liked my previous deutz, it didn’t lose much money. I could have had a profi 716 fendt for similar money except mine was also an ex demo so top product for tidy money... p

Any thoughts on 07 Agrotron k110? Looking to replace our VERY old kit and found a nice one of these. Any known issues?
