New Deutz Tractor

[ptsg]

Congrats to the OP.

This is indeed a great tractor. It's just too bad they only offer the 12x12 mechanical shuttle transmission in the US for some reason. Why not offer either the Power Shuttle 15x15 or 30x30 as well?

One of the biggest features of these Deutz tractors is definitely the wet brakes in all 4 wheels.

Hard to schedule around the holiday season with time off and deliveries. Even if they didn't have a problem, if the wrong guy called out, you're stuck.

I had a new PTO chipper that was supposed to be here last week, but didn't make it until Monday. Fortunately, I didn't have to worry about time off. They (FedEx) called the day before and explained they were 'off'. No rush, so it didn't matter. I've been there, though. PODs had all of our possessions, save a few clothes. They didn't make the day (we both took off from new jobs). 3 days later they finally showed up. No communication. Will never use them again.

I’ve only been speaking to the salesman. He told me they use a hot shot guy for deliveries.

If you have the ability to pick it up yourself, tell them you want your 8 hundy back and go get it at your convience.

I have never owned or operated a Deutz tractor but I have always liked them.
Yours looks very nice in the picture, how many horsepower is it ? Exactly what model is it ?
There used to be a dealer selling them about 5 miles from me, he doesn’t sell them anymore but he still services them.

Nice tractor & FEL. I never heard before now of a dealer charging for delivery of a new tractor BUT 3.5 hrs away is a decent amount of distance to travel. I think if I had correct size truck & trailer I'd pick tractor up & ask for a $800 refund.

It’s a 65hp Deutz Fahr 4065

I have the truck and a trailer capable of hauling it. Was promised a Friday the 3rd delivery and I really didn’t feel like driving 3.5 down and 4.5 back. But I’m really thinking about going and getting it this coming Saturday if I get a lame excuse tomorrow when I call to find out what’s up.

Congratulations on your new tractor. Glad you got the grapple. I never cease to be amazed at all the limbs and fallen trees one can remove. You will like the 4 wheel brakes on the steep land. Like you I shopped several different colors before getting my Deutz. The standard features were all (big) nickel and dime additions with the other dealers. Sorry to hear about the delivery issues but after a few hours on your new tractor hopefully this glitch will fade. I will suggest attention to the owners manual. Since mine was my first modern tractor in over 20 years I quickly found things were a little different than what I was used to on older tractors.

Did you get a Deutz as well?

Yes, I purchased a 5080 keyline. Only have about 60 hours on it and have been very pleased so far.
