Putting a discordan together. We will probably just keep in on the 4610 as we don’t have a Challenger.

Duals? This is the classic machinery thread you mean cage wheels.Put some duals on the back and it will be well away

I see that the 4610 has very good air-con fitted. Even the front doors open the right way for assisted extra fan speed.

Yes and no back window as it exploded on the way to the field.

Definition of a classic. Anything with an exhaust obscuring the view!

Is that an exhaust, or a chimney?

Well judging by what comes out at times, it’s a chimney, and it runs on proper coal not smokeless fuel!
we didny know any different and its not something that bothered me.
Replacing overly expensive over long cab pillar exhausts and there bracketry does though,all adds up to costs of the job. .

I agree with your sentiments. Funny how I can jump on that tractor which is 36 years old, with no consideration that it won’t do a day or a weeks work reliably. About all you need is a spare fuel filter because they do run a very fine filter which can partially block and reduce the power.

Our Saturno 80, yard tractor and runabout..

Basic is definitely the right description! It's an air cooled Same engine. Not sure how many litres but its 4 cylinder, 80 horsepower ish and each pot has its own injector pump..
its their own
I like the aircooled Deutz and Same engines the most because it is extremly easy to keep them runnig.
They do not only have a seperate head, they also have seperate engine block. Each piston has its own parcel.
You just have to keep the cooling fins clean and dry and you are good to go if you arent pressuring it stationary to much with low rpm.
Neighbour has one for 50 Years now, 30000hrs still going strong in front of the feeder waggon.
The best thing is how easy it is to repair it, pull the head, pull the cylinder, new piston, new cylinder and then you can test the volume of the combustion chamber with solder (official way as described in the service manual by Deutz) and if necessary place spacers under it. It can be done on the field if needed, done that actually and repaired it probably in the winter when the harvest was over.

An update probably in the wrong place but ....
Unfortunately the 4610 was just too powerful for the Discordan too many shearbolts and bent tines as such we had to put it on a 6080.

We had a 4wd one, first 4wd we had, would climb a brick wall but was gutless, possibly because we didnt give it enough hard work when new,

We also had a 4wd many years ago. Ours went well. I bought this 2wd as its in better condition than some of the 4wd's I saw at the time.
This one goes well but there's not much between the engine and pto to sap power like modern tractors do..
