Hi ya kerr
Deutz had a few probs awhile ago and are now tied up with same group (4 brands under one flag) alot of the new ones look the same ie 150 deutz 150 same parked side by side look like twins deutz are now water cooled to meet EU spec's for greenhouse gases etc etc , i have had probs but i had them with the JD too it all comes back to who fixes them if the guy who works on mine whent to another brand i could follow him with useing my tractor for contracting it needs to be going all the time all brands will have prob's it's haveing parts and the guys near by to fix them that counts ,if people are doing alot of hill work both same and deutz are great as when the diff lock is working it's fully locked diff's true 4x4 not just the back also same has inderpent brakes on the front so ya can steer with ya brakes (like a dozer) if you start slideing on losse dirt .
biggest plus is fuel use i have had 3 bigger tractors 7700 JD 7210 case IH and 150 duetz doing the same work and useing the JD as a base of 100 the case would use 90 and the duetz would use 70 so in my game thats a good saveing even the older air cooled duetz had that clam to fame
catch ya

- JD 8320 MFWD, JD 6415 MFWD, FEL, and cab, John Deere MFWD 4600, John Deere 4020, John Deere 4430, John Deere 455 mower, Deutz, and Gehl 4610 perkins skidsteer
My 4600 has kind of become legend around here or rather the subject of ridicule. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I am always doing something that these guys make fun of me for doing with my "toy tractor". I know I'm going to get it this morning at the feed store. The Kubota dealer here is actually a good friend of mine and I usually go to him to get implements. On that new ground that i got it's in CRP and I wanted a 10-15' mower to keep the grass and weeds knocked down. The one I have now is only 8' and it will take a long time to do 60 acres with it. Anyway he said I supposed I'd pull it with that 4600. I said sure why not. He said no way you're going to pull it with that 4600. He's right I probably wouldn't but they all think I'd try, it makes for some good laughs at times. Not that a similiar kubota wouldn't do the same things but I have been pretty impressed with what that little tractor will do.
