Latest new change in the fast-changing tractor industry comes from Deutz-Allis which unveiled a new line of "Agco Allis" tractors at a recent press conference in Kansas City, Mo.
Deutz-Allis was purchased from Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz (KHD) of West Germany in June 1990 by a management led buy-out that formed the new holding entity known as Allis Gleaner Company (AGCO). Company officials say that the new line of tractors, made in Italy by Same according to Deutz-Allis specifications, will strengthen their tractor line. Deutz-Allis will continue to distribute its green "DX" line of tractors featuring Deutz air-cooled engines in a range of 40 to 190 hp, as well as a line of self-propelled rotary combines including the new Series II Rotary Gleaner combines equipped with state-of-the-art "ComforTech" cabs.
The "Agco Allis" tractors include 12 new models in five series that range from 40 to 130 pto hp. Electronically, mechanically and stylistically, they're billed as "the tractors of the future."
The top of the line for the new tractors is the 8600 series which includes two models - the 8610 at 103 pto hp and the 8630 (pictured) at 130 pto hp.
Deutz-Allis recently purchased the assets of the White tractor product line from White-New Idea. The purchase includes tractor technology, trademarks, patents, production capability of tractors, parts inventories, and the assignment of all dealer contracts for the more than 600 White dealers with respect to tractors and tractor parts. According to Robert J. Ratliff, Deutz-Allis president and chief executive officer, the White business and dealer contracts will be administered separately and the White identity and color will be maintained.
The new Series II Rotary Gleaner combines are based on a greatly simplified design for easier servicing and improved reliability, according to John M. Shumejda, senior vice president, operations. "There will be much greater parts commonality, which will speed delivery of replacement parts. Many features that were options will now be standard, and almost all options will be factory-installed for greater reliability." (Bill Gergen, associate editor).
