New tractor advice

[Veli]

As title says, im planing to buy new tractor around 180hp so I would appreciate any advice. First thing first, dealer locations are: Deutz-fahr 35km, Case 40km, and JD 230km, rest of them are to far away to consider (even JD is not that close either) They all are decent equiped with spare parts but DF has 24/7 service. Easiest purchase would be DF but im unsure of reliability, not so many DFs around me, mostly are JD and Case, DFs are mostly 120-130hp or smaller. I live in Bosnia and we dont have eu emission regulations, so I can buy Case puma (older bonnet, JD M and DF G series without add blue,dpf or any of those emissions things. DF 6185g is around 100-110k euros, Case puma 155 (dealer remaped to 180hp) is 110-120k and JD 6175m is 130-140k (still waiting for exact offer). I kinda like DF because of ZF gearbox (RC shift) and 50kmh but I have heard they can give trouble. Then again i read on Polish forums that people had problems with JD m series gearboxes. Never had JD or DF, have Case mx135 and Fendt 615 185hp at the moment.

Been Deutz Fahr for 20 yrs. They are the most reliable tractors I've ever had. yes, some minor problems. but a LOT less than other makes I've owned or driven.

They were German, years ago. They're only a rebadged Same now.

the Case won’t be a match for either of the others even with a silicone implant. Look at a puma 180/185

I think the larger ones are still DF made in Germany with the smaller ones made in Italy.

I thought Same and Lamborghini was just rebadged deutz's? Oh and hurlimann which I assumed was all made in their Germany factory?

I was thinking the same. But then again when You hear stories that something is not good You become suspicious.

They actually are, but larger DFs have Deutz engines,ZF gearbox, Bosch hydraulics and build in Germany. I think only the smaller modells are made in Italy and for non EU market are made in Turkey.

My mate has a duetz 6165 rc shift, have to save it’s a very comfortable tractor to drive and excellent visibility for a tractor that size.
