Built in Treviglio in Italy, not LauingenI own one (well, the orange equivalent).
Everything has problems.

Well the paint hasn't fallen off it like a real Italian tractor, and I'm bloody sure the build plate says Lauingen Germany on it. I'll have to double check in the morning though.Built in Treviglio in Italy, not Lauingen
What model have you got? A lot of the smaller Agrotron based tractors were and are assembled in ItalyWell the paint hasn't fallen off it like a real Italian tractor, and I'm bloody sure the build plate says Lauingen Germany on it. I'll have to double check in the morning though.
is david still the boss or is there a next generation?Bought every other tractor we’ve had off them until now so give it a fair chance
It's simple:Trailers have been on a rolling road and meet HGV spec not BAGMA. They stop the tractors. These tractors are so unreliable it’s untrue
We had a brilliant Deutz dealer for about two years,then Deutz pulled the plug on them and now there are a pile of tractors with no dealer back up.Large farm near here runs all Deutz tractors and gets on fine with them.
Have a good dealer in Angus. Alfie Ray.
@milton-95 is a loyal deutz customer too.
Iron 150. I just checked the plate again, at the top on one side it says something along the lines of "Made by SAME Deutz Fahr Treviglio Italy etc etc" with a big SAME logo in the middle, then on the other side it says "Lauingen Germany".What model have you got?

Built (and painted) in Germany and assembled in Italy maybe?

The bother I had with the gearbox was in the power shift part of the box. Not the actual gearbox itself. Parts are very expensive I think a gearbox casing and a forward/reverse shaft with a few bits and pieces was £6500 I rang Germany and they discounted the parts down to £3000. ZF would probably do the parts cheaper but the trouble is trying to get a cross reference for the numbers. The ZF numbers on the gearbox cross reference to SDF. Probably not allowed to sell them direct.Well the aircon doesn't work so it's a Deutz at heart
Bearing failure?The bother I had with the gearbox was in the power shift part of the box.
No the f/r shaft fits into the gearbox casing and wears away the casing and itself. Two oil ports in the end of the shaft and casing pressurise oil one port for forward and one reverse. Wear means it won’t drive forward or backwards properly when oil gets hot as it leaks through past piston rings on shaft and pressurises both packs of a fashionBearing failure?
Yes it all depends how it goes I thinkIt's amazing how people have such different experiences with various brands of equipment, worst for me was claas and Lely who would generally regarded as top notch companies to deal with.
Meanwhile I've had great success with Deutz tractors, on my third in 13 years putting on fairly big hours, still have the first one and I can honestly say it has been the best tractor I've ever owned and I had a Valtra before that.
Another surprise is JLR not for reliability, but super backup out of warranty. Which is not a common thing you would hear about Jaguar cars.
Funny old world.

Dad's friend has a 2004 Agrotron(?) that has been trouble free for over 8000h. It's worth next to nothing as a trade in and nobody really wants it, but for the money paid in 2004 it's probably been quite cheap to run regardless of poor residual value. They seem great, one of my friends that runs Deere rates Deutz's comfort and usability very high.Deutz, 2, lucky to have one moderately expensive repair and lots of pita repairs, you only suffer bad residuals for one day.
