Deutz Allis 9130

I was told this is a White except for the motor. Is that correct? Are they any good for hay work? Thanks

I have had one since 1998. Has been a good tractor, I pull a 12 row 30" planter in the spring and a New Holland 5070 small square baler in the summer. It works good on the baler.

The air cooled motors are JUNK. We had an air cooled combine and fought with the motor continually. Several neighbors had Duetz tractors and they all gave up on trying to keep them running. Next cross road there’s a dead Duetz in a pasture the next farm has a dead one in a shed. That combine we had was the only motor we stocked internals for because we had to tear it down so often.

If all your doing is hay buy a 7020, 7045, or 7060 and have something decent. My 7080 was lower stress than the kraut can.

We had a 9190, and a 9150, R50, R70, plus 12 or so Deutz power units, put thousands of hours on them, never had any problems. Our local Allis dealer was also the dealer for Deutz power units, said it was the best engine built. They are very heavy built tractors, and the Deutz 374 engine was easy on fuel. There was also a local independent mechanic, who also sold Deutz power units, between the two of them, there were several hundred of these engines in the area. One thing you want to keep in mind, if you are going to use it during the winter, you want to keep the oil heater plugged in. If you plug it in with the oil cold, it has a tendency to cake onto the heater. And you want to keep the engine clean.

When I was at the AC dealership back in the early 1990s the farmers who had them loved them and the only ones who didn't never owned one. You have to keep them clean. Poor maintenance will lead to plugs fins though when I was there the owners of the dealership also farmed 1000 acres and had a 9170 that I did a lot of the normal maintenance on and in the 1000 hours or so that I saw on that machine I never once had to blow out the cooling fins. They were always clean. Nice ride but I've been told the brakes don't live as long on them as they do on an Allis.

I always said the 3208 cat was the easiest starting diesel engine there was, until I bought a ditch witch with a Deutz engine. If the bigger ones as as good as it I would be impressed. That thing will start below zero no ether within 3 revolutions.

When not if you have motor issues it cost as much to do 1 cylinder on a Duetz as a complete motor kit for a 426. Plus you have more parts options with a normal motor.

That may be but they did have a heater available you could plug in to warm the engine in the cold. I don't remember a thing about how the engine heater worked. And I have no idea at the cost of repair for one cylinder. I'd guess over the years you are farther ahead sticking with a domestic engine.

A friend of mine had a Deutz engine in a piece of equipment in his sand pit and he needed a new muffler. Could not get one because of some trade law or new environmental law or something stupid..... Germany would not provide a new muffler. Based on that alone he got rid of it and sticks to mostly Cat engines running things in his pit or has gone with electric motors when he could..

we had one tractor and two combines with them, worked perfectly fine for us. Blew the dust off the combines daily. I do recall on really hot days doing heavy pulling even with a clean motor the tractor temp would run slightly warm to my liking.
