Deutz-Allis Launches
ORLANDO, FL The new
Deutz-Allis 9100 Series tractors
occupied center stage at their
debut to North American farmers
and farm equipment dealers here.
Deutz-Allis Corporation is
introducing the three new tractor
models in the series, ranging from
150 to 193 PTO horsepower, for
availability in late spring 1989.
‘These new tractors meet grow
er demands for larger tractors
equipped with the Deutz-Allis air
cooled diesel engine,” said Bill
Templeton, Deutz-Allis vice pres
ident of marketing.
The world-famous Deutz
engine combines performance,
reliability and low maintenance
cost Instead of using air to cool
liquid which has absorbed engine
heat, air-cooled engines rely on a
powerful axial-fan blower to force
a current of air around each cylin
der and head - a much more
direct, efficient system of cooling.
‘This is proven technology and
it’s very well-suited for the heavy
fieldwork now being required of
the North American farmer of the
19905’” Templeton said. “With
the 9100 Series tractors, farmers
can pull larger implements to cov
er more acres in an hour or link
implements to perform multiple
operations in one pass.”

DeKALB, IL. One of the
nation’s leading seed producers,
DeKalb-Pfizer Genetics plans to
use a biodegradable, plastic liner
in all its seed bags by 1990. Con

cularly the disposal of solid waste,
inspired company officials to take
a leadership role in the use of the
material. The corn-based plastic
will increase demand for com and
help use the U.S. grain surplus.
Demand for this plastic is
high,but availability is limited.
For that reason, Dekalb-Pfizer
used the material in only 30,000
bags in 1989. In 1990, however,
the company plans to use the plas

bags.
