Huge 8-Wheel-Drive Deutz Tractor TRACTORS New Tractors 34-1-43 Deutz made a big splash at Agritechnica with the introduction of a 600-hp 8-wheel tractor that features a full powershift transmission.
The Deutz-Fahr XXL 1630 on exhibit was a prototype built in a partnership between Deutz and a German university. Two pairs of tandem axles - plus an articulated steering system - keep all wheels in maximum contact with the ground.
The giant tractor switches between full 8-wheel drive in the field to 4-wheel-drive on the road. There's no pto on back. The machine is designed to tow implements and haul large loads on the rear load platform.
