Why Deutz Fahr is the Ultimate Choice
Deutz Fahr tractors are engineered to deliver exceptional performance in the demanding environments of vineyards. Our 4-cylinder FARMotion engines meet the requirements of Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. Developed especially for agricultural applications, these common rail engines feature electronic injection with a pressure of 2,000 bar, a new valve concept, enlarged cylinders, a new crankshaft design, an electronic EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) engine management system, and a DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) system. This combination ensures maximum performance and constant torque even at low speeds. Fuel consumption, emissions, vibrations, and noise have been minimized.
Other new features include the compact cooling system with an enlarged cooling surface, intercooling, a fuel cooling system, an air-conditioning condenser, and optimized airflow, as well as the Powercore air filter with dust removal. Both systems support engine efficiency and are designed for long service intervals and fast, straightforward maintenance. The fuel tank is built into the front axle block and can be filled without opening the bonnet. It has a capacity of 55 liters. The tank volume can be increased by 40 liters (5DF models) or 30 liters (5DV / 5DS models) by adding an additional tank below the driver’s platform.
Superior Maneuverability and Control
The DEUTZ-FAHR front axle concept is unique, making it a real highlight. Single-wheel suspension with a double wishbone design means independent suspension of the front wheels. This results in maximum suspension in all operating scenarios. The spring stroke of each individual wheel is controlled by an adaptive electrohydraulic system. This ensures that the wheel contact patch always touches the ground fully. The DTC (Differential Traction Control) system constantly monitors the wheel revolutions and always applies torque to the wheels during maximum ground contact. The innovative control system also gives the DEUTZ-FAHR specialist tractors maximum roll and directional stability. Roll stabilization prevents the front axle from diving and resultant load shifting (Anti-Dive), while directional stability prevents the vehicle from rocking (Anti-Roll). The slim geometry of the front axle frame enables a steering lock angle of up to 60°. The turning radius is reduced by 10% to an average of 3 meters. A hydraulic 4-wheel brake comes as standard, as do the electrohydraulic engagement of the four-wheel drive and 100% differential lock. All this means that the front axle concept guarantees maximum wheel grip, traction, driving stability, and safety for all ground conditions.
Unmatched Comfort and Efficiency
Cab comfort has long since ceased to be a luxury, even when it comes to specialist tractors. A more pleasant working environment means less severe environmental factors such as cold, heat, dust, or noise, resulting in longer periods of concentration and performance for the driver. The 4-post cab of the specialist tractors features all-round glazing and a one-piece windscreen for optimum visibility in every direction. On the outside, the cab is compact and slim. There are no sharp edges that could damage crops. Inside, cutting-edge design and high-quality, light materials create a feel-good environment. Numerous noise-absorbing elements and other technical details have made it possible to minimize noise levels inside the cab. The air-conditioning system is powerful and ensures even air distribution. Seven adjustable ventilation nozzles keep the driver’s preferred temperature constant throughout the cab.
There are new seat options for the driver. Variants featuring different suspension concepts, materials, and setting options are available. All the controls are within easy reach, arranged according to how often they are used and color-coded. Orange denotes anything pertaining to the tractor’s driving functions, e.g., gearshift, Stop&Go function, and also the parking brake. All the hydraulic control functions are blue. Green indicates the linkage operation and yellow the PTO functions. Black is reserved for lighting and air conditioning. The InfoCentre on the dashboard provides clear information to the driver about all the tractor’s operating statuses via digital and analog displays. It only takes a few minutes for the driver to get to grips with the DEUTZ-FAHR specialist tractors before being able to tackle the job at hand. Intuitive, extremely comfortable, and productive.
