Front/rear hitch, pto debuts
ATLANTA, Ga. Several
Deutz-Fahr all-wheel drive
tractors equipped with both front
and rear 3-point hitch and front
and rear pto are attracting curious
farmers at various market-test
locations in the United States and
Canada.
Spokesmen for Deutz Cor
poration’s Agricultural Equipment
Division, Atlanta, Ga., say the
tractors represent another first by
Deutz-Fahr in North America.
“We pioneered in developing the
North American market for air
cooled diesel-powered tractors and
for all-wheel drive tractors; now
we’re first with front hitch and
pto,” says Robert B, Mcllrath,
sales training and promotion
manager, tractors.
The concept of 3-point mounting
of farm equipment front and rear
is common in Germany, where
Deutz-Fahr tractors are built. The
Deutz-Fahr “Intrac” model, with
front hitch and pto as standard
equipment, has been used on
German farms since 1972.
Deutz-Fahr spokesmen say that
adding the front hitch and pto
enables greater utilization of the
tractor’s capacity in both farm
chores and field applications,
especially in once-over tillage and
planting, haying and harvest
operations.
